General Maintenance Information
Why Maintain Your Vehicle?
Carefully following the maintenance
schedule helps protect against major repair
expenses resulting from neglect or
inadequate maintenance and may also
help to increase the value of your vehicle
when you sell or trade it. Keep all receipts
for completed maintenance with your
vehicle.
Regular maintenance intervals for your
vehicle have been established based upon
rigorous testing. It is important that you
have your vehicle serviced at the proper
times. These intervals serve two purposes;
one is to maintain the reliability of your
vehicle and the second is keep your cost
of owning the vehicle down.
It is your responsibility to see that all
scheduled maintenance is performed and
that the materials used meet the
specifications identified in this Owner's
Manual. See Capacities and
Specifications (page 267).
Failure to perform scheduled maintenance
invalidates warranty coverage on parts
affected by the lack of maintenance.
Why Maintain Your Vehicle at Your
Dealership?
Factory-Trained Technicians
Service technicians participate in extensive
factory-sponsored certification training to
help them become experts on the
operation of your vehicle. Ask your
dealership about the training and
certification their technicians, have
received.Your vehicle is very sophisticated and built
with multiple complex performance
systems. Every manufacturer develops
these systems using different
specifications and performance features.
That is why it is important to rely upon your
dealership to properly diagnose and repair
your vehicle.
Genuine Ford and Motorcraft®
Replacement Parts
Dealerships stock Ford, Motorcraft and
Ford-authorized branded remanufactured
replacement parts. These parts meet or
exceed our specifications. Parts installed
at your dealership carry a nationwide 12
month or 12000 mile (20000 kilometer)
parts and labor limited warranty.
If you do not use Ford authorized parts they
may not meet our specifications and
depending on the part it could affect
emissions compliance.
Convenience
Many dealerships have extended evening
and Saturday hours to make your service
visit more convenient and they offer one
stop shopping. They can perform any
services that are required on your vehicle,
from general maintenance to collision
repairs.
Note:
Not all dealers have extended hours
or body shops. Please contact your dealer
for details.
Protecting Your Investment
Maintenance is an investment that pays
dividends in the form of improved
reliability, durability and resale value. To
ensure the proper performance of your
vehicle and its emission control systems,
it is imperative that scheduled
maintenance be completed at the
designated intervals.
396
Scheduled Maintenance

Your vehicle is equipped with the
Intelligent Oil Life Monitor® system which
displays a message in the message center
at the proper oil change service interval.
This interval may be up to one year or
10000 miles (16000 kilometers).
When ENGINE OIL CHANGE DUE or OIL
CHANGE REQUIRED appears in the
message center display, it is time for an oil
change. The oil change must be done
within two weeks or 500 miles (800
kilometers) of the ENGINE OIL CHANGE
DUE or OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message
appearing. The Intelligent Oil Life Monitor®
must be reset after each oil change. See
Engine Oil Check (page 221).
If your message center is prematurely reset
or becomes inoperative, you should
perform the oil change interval at six
months or 5000 miles (8000 km) from
your last oil change. Never exceed one year
or 10000 miles (16000 kilometers)
between oil change intervals.
Your vehicle is very sophisticated and built
with multiple complex performance
systems. Every manufacturer develops
these systems using different
specifications and performance features.
That is why it is important to rely upon your
dealership to properly diagnose and repair
your vehicle.
We recommend maintenance intervals for
various parts and component systems
based upon engineering testing. We rely
upon this testing to determine the most
appropriate mileage for replacement of
oils and fluids to protect your vehicle at
the lowest overall cost to you and
recommend against maintenance
schedules that deviate from the scheduled
maintenance information.
We strongly recommend the using only
genuine Ford, Motorcraft or
Ford-authorized re-manufactured
replacement for parts because they are
engineered for your vehicle.Additives and Chemicals
Recommended additives and chemicals
are listed in this Owner's Manual and in the
Workshop Manual. Additional chemicals
or additives not approved by Ford Motor
Company are not recommended as part
of normal maintenance. Please consult
your Warranty Manual for complete
warranty information.
Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a
normal operating characteristic and, by
itself, does not necessarily indicate a
concern or that the fluid needs to be
changed. However, discolored fluids that
also show signs of overheating or foreign
material contamination should be
inspected immediately by a qualified
expert such as the factory-trained
technicians at your dealership.
Your vehicle
’s oils and fluids should be
changed at the specified intervals or in
conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a
viable way to change fluid for many vehicle
sub-systems during scheduled
maintenance. It is critical that systems are
flushed only with new fluid that is the same
as that required to fill and operate the
system or using a Ford-approved flushing
chemical.
Owner Checks and Services
Certain basic maintenance checks and
inspections should be performed every
month or at six months intervals.
Check Every Month
• Engine oil level.
• Function of all interior and exterior
lights.
• Tires for wear and proper pressure,
including the spare tire.
• Windshield washer fluid level.
397
Scheduled Maintenance

Be sure to ask your dealership service
advisor or technician about the multi-point
vehicle inspection. It is a comprehensive
way to perform a thorough inspection of
your vehicle. It is your checklist that gives
you immediate feedback on the overall
condition of your vehicle. You know what
has been checked, what is okay as well as
those things that may require future or
immediate attention. The multi-point
vehicle inspection is one more way to keep
your vehicle running great.
Normal Scheduled Maintenance
Intelligent Oil Life Monitor®
Your vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent
Oil Life Monitor that determines when the
engine oil should be changed based on
how your vehicle is used. By using several
important factors in its calculations, the
monitor helps reduce the cost of owning
your vehicle and reduce environmental
waste at the same time.This means you won
’t have to remember
to change the oil on a mileage-based
schedule; the vehicle lets you know when
an oil change is due by displaying ENGINE
OIL CHANGE DUE or OIL CHANGE
REQUIRED in the message center.
The following table is intended to provide
examples of vehicle use and its impact on
engine oil change intervals. It is provided
as a guideline only. Actual engine oil
change intervals depends on several
factors and generally decreases with
severity of use.

Scheduled Maintenance

Normal vehicle axle maintenance: Rear
axles and power take-off (PTO) units with
synthetic fluid and light-duty trucks
equipped with Ford-design axles are
lubricated for life; do not check or change
fluid unless a leak is suspected, service is
required or the assembly has been
submerged in water. During long periods
of trailer towing with outside temperatures
above 70°F (21°C) and at wide-open
throttle for long periods above 45 mph (72
km/h), non-synthetic rear axle fluids
should be changed every 3000 miles
(4800 km) or three months, whichever
comes first. This interval can be waived if
the axle is filled with 75W140 synthetic
gear fluid meeting Ford specification
WSL-M2C192-A, part number
F1TZ-19580-B, or equivalent. Add friction
modifier XL-3 (EST-M2C118-A) or
equivalent for complete refill of
Traction-Lok rear axles. See Technical
Specifications (page 271).
Police/Taxi/Livery vehicle axle
maintenance: Change rear axle fluid every
100000 miles (160000 km). Rear axle
fluid change may be waived if the axle was
filled with 75W140 synthetic gear fluid
meeting Ford specification
WSL-M2C192-A, part number
F1TZ-19580-B, or equivalent. Add four
ounces (118 mL) of additive friction
modifier XL-3 (EST-M2C118-A) or
equivalent for complete refill of
Traction-Lok rear axles. The axle fluid
should be changed anytime the axle has
been submerged in water.California fuel filter replacement: If the
vehicle is registered in California, the
California Air Resources Board has
determined that the failure to perform this
maintenance item will not nullify the
emission warranty or limit recall liability
prior to the completion of the vehicle's
useful life. Ford Motor Company, however,
urges you to have all recommended
maintenance services performed at the
specified intervals and to record all vehicle
service.
Hot climate oil change intervals:
Vehicles operating in the Middle East,
North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa or
locations with similar climates using an
American Petroleum Institute (API)
Certified for Gasoline Engines (Certification
mark) oil of SM or SN quality, the normal
oil change interval is 5000 miles (8000
km). If the available API "SM" or "SN" oils
are not available, then the oil change
service interval is 3000 mile (4800 km).
Engine air filter and cabin air filter
replacement: Engine air filter and cabin
air filter life is dependent on exposure to
dusty and dirty conditions. Vehicles
operated in these conditions will require
frequent inspection and replacement of
the engine air filter and cabin air filter.
Engine Coolant Change Record
Initial change: Six years or 100000 miles
(160000 km) (whichever comes first).
After initial change: Every three years or
50000 miles (80000 km).
