2016 Ford Taurus Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2016 Ford Taurus takes in three engines for the four-door sedan: a naturally aspirated 3.5L DOHC V6 listed for flex-fuel or gasoline, a turbocharged 2.0L DOHC inline-four and a turbocharged 3.5L DOHC V6. Four trims are covered: Limited, SE, SEL and SHO. The turbocharged engines, the flex-fuel V6 and the sedan body each have their own procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics in the book, so nothing has to be inferred from a different engine's figures.

Known issues on the 2016 Taurus. Four recalls are on federal record for the year. On cars with the turbocharged 3.5L engine, improperly brazed turbocharger oil supply tubes can leak oil onto hot engine parts and start a fire; the driver and front passenger door trim at the B-pillar can detach while driving; and the rearview camera can go distorted, intermittent or blank in reverse.
