2003 Ford Taurus Owners Manual

Maintenance and Specifications
Fuel quality
Many of the  worlds automakers
issued the World-wide  Fuel Charter
that recommends gasoline
specifications to provide  improved
performance and emission  control
system protection for  your vehicle.
Gasolines that meet  the World-wide
Fuel Charter should  be used when
available. Ask your  fuel supplier
about gasolines that  meet the
World-wide Fuel Charter.  In Canada,
look for fuels  that display theAuto
MakersChoice௢   logo.
It should not  be necessary to  add any aftermarket products  to your fuel
tank if you  continue to use  high quality fuel of  the recommended octane
rating. Aftermarket products  could cause damage  to the fuel system.
Repairs to correct  the effects of  using an aftermarket product  in your
fuel may not  be covered by  your warranty.
UnleadedGasolineengines
If you are  experiencing starting, rough  idle or hesitation driveability
problems during a  cold start, try  a different brand ofRegular”    unleaded
gasoline.Premium”  unleaded  gasoline is not  recommended (particularly
in the United  States) because it  may cause these problems  to become
more pronounced. If  the problems persist,  see your dealer or  a qualified
service technician.
FFVengine(ifequipped)
Your FFV will  operate well on  ordinaryRegular”  unleaded gasoline,  but
only the highest  quality fuel ethanol  will provide the same  level of
protection and performance.  To identify if  your vehicle is an  FFV, check
your VIN or  the label on  the inside of your  fuel filler door.  When
checking the VIN,  look for the  engine type identifier (8th  character). If
your vehicle is  an FFV, then  the character will be  labeled as aK.
If you operate  your vehicle 50%  or more of the  time on ethanol,  you
should follow a  different maintenance schedule.  See theScheduled
MaintenanceGuide  for  more information.
If you are  experiencing a rough  or rolling idle after  start-up with the
outside temperature above  27° C (80°  F), the idle should  improve within
10
to 30 seconds.  If the problems  persist below this temperature,  see
your dealer or  a qualified service  technician.
