2010 Ford Taurus Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2010 Ford Taurus covers two 3.5L DOHC V6 engines, one naturally aspirated and one turbocharged, both on gasoline, in the four-door sedan. Four trims are listed: Limited, SE, SEL and SHO. Sharing a displacement and a DOHC layout, the two V6s are separated in the manual by their induction, so the turbocharged engine's procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are kept distinct from the naturally aspirated engine's wherever the turbocharger and its plumbing change the job.
