How Often Does the Ford Mondeo Need a Service?
The servicing specifics of your particular model of Ford Mondeo will be covered in your owners manual / servicing schedule book, or if you are missing this, ask your local Ford dealer. In general however, a full service should be conducted around every 12,000 miles or every 12 months – whichever comes soonest.
To keep the engine in optimal condition, some owners also opt for an interim service around every 6 months or 6,000 miles – whichever comes soonest. An interim service often involves a basic oil and oil filter change between each full service.
