Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or 12 months, whichever comes first. Specifics depend on engine oil type and driving conditions.
Timing Belt Replacement Interval:
For Zetec engines, this is a critical interval, often recommended at 70,000-90,000 miles (112,000-144,000 km) or every 5-7 years. Failure can cause catastrophic engine damage.
Engine Oil:

Transmission Fluid:
For manual transmissions, typically GL-4 specification gear oil (e.g., 75W-90). For automatic transmissions, likely specified Mercon V or equivalent ATF. Capacity for MTX-75 approx. 1.8 liters, CD4E approx. 6.6 liters (dry fill).
Common Problems:
Potential issues covered in the manual might include: premature wear of suspension components (bushings, ball joints), exhaust system corrosion, minor electrical gremlins (e.g., window regulators, central locking), clutch wear, and potential coolant leaks from hoses or the radiator. Timing belt maintenance is crucial.
Air Filter Replacement:

Ford Europe Strategy:
The Mondeo was a pivotal model for Ford in Europe, designed to be a 'world car' and a successor to the Ford Sierra. It aimed to set new standards in its class for design, safety, and refinement.
Mk I Introduction:
Launched in 1993 (for the 1993 model year in most markets, though development and early production for 1992 models did occur), it represented a significant leap forward for Ford's mid-size European offerings. It featured a more aerodynamic design and advanced chassis technology compared to its predecessor.
Manufacturing Locations:
Primarily produced at the Ford-Genk plant in Belgium.
