Your vehicle’s rear axle is filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant and is
considered lubricated for life. These lubricants do not need to be
checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is required or the
axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should
be changed any time the rear axle has been submerged in water.
3Ensure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used. Transmission
fluid requirements are indicated on the dipstick or on the dipstick
handle. Check the container to verify the fluid being added is of the
correct type. Refer to yourscheduled maintenance informationto
determine the correct service interval.
4Approximate dry fill capacity including transmission fluid cooling
system, actual refill capacities will vary based on vehicle application and
transmission fluid cooling system (i.e. coolers size, cooling lines, auxiliary
cooler capacities). The amount of transmission fluid and fluid level
should be set by the indication on the dipstick’s normal operating range.
5Use of synthetic or synthetic blend motor oil is not mandatory. Engine
oil need only meet the requirements of Ford specification WSS-
M2C930-A and the API Certification mark.
OCTANE RECOMMENDATIONS
Your vehicle is designed to use
“Regular” unleaded gasoline with a
pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87.
In high altitude areas, we do not
recommend the use of any “Regular”
fuel with an octane rating below 87.
Do not be concerned if your engine sometimes knocks lightly. However, if
it knocks heavily under most driving conditions while you are using fuel
with the recommended octane rating, see your authorized dealer to
prevent any engine damage.
FFV ENGINE (5.4L ENGINE ONLY)
If your vehicle is flex fuel capable, it is designed to use Fuel Ethanol
(Ed75–Ed85), “Regular” unleaded gasoline or any mixture of the two
fuels.
Use of other fuels such as Fuel Methanol may cause powertrain
damage, a loss of vehicle performance, and your warranty may be
invalidated.

KEEPING MAINTENANCE RECORDS IS EASY WITH THE
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE GUIDE
It’s important to document the maintenance of your vehicle. Every time
you bring your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance, be sure to present
this guide and certify the work. Also record the date of service, mileage
at the time of service, and attach your receipt. This will make record
keeping easy and, should your vehicle ever require warranty coverage,
you will have all the documentation to show you’ve properly maintained
it.
MAINTENANCE INTERVAL
Ford Motor Company establishes recommended maintenance intervals
based upon engineering testing to determine the most appropriate
mileage to perform the various maintenance services. This protects your
vehicle at the lowest overall cost to you. Ford Motor Company
recommends that you not deviate from the maintenance schedules
presented in this Scheduled Maintenance Guide.
DETERMINE WHICH MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE TO FOLLOW
It’s important to follow the maintenance schedule that most closely
mirrors your driving habits and the conditions under which you drive.
For this reason, the Scheduled Maintenance Guide is divided into two
basic maintenance schedules: theNormal Schedule(further segmented
intoTrucks, Fullsize Vans & SUVsandCars & CUVs) andSpecial
Operating Conditions
Determining which maintenance schedule is right for you is easy. For the
most part, do you drive your Ford, Lincoln or Mercury vehicle under
typical, everyday conditions? If so, follow theNormal Schedule Trucks,
Fullsize Vans & SUVs,orNormal Schedule Cars & CUVs.
Maximum Oil Change Interval
❑Normal Schedule: 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever occurs first.❑Special Operating Conditions: See appropriate schedule on page 53.
Engine Coolant Change Interval
❑6 years or 105,000 miles - change coolant (whichever comes first). Use coolant specified in theOwner’s Guidein theMaintenance and Specificationschapter❑After initial change - change coolant every 3 years or 45,000 miles (see page 56)

SPECIAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
However, if one or more of the Special Operating Conditions outlined
below better describes how you typically operate your vehicle, you will
need to perform some maintenance services more often than the Normal
Schedule recommends.
•Towing a trailer or carrying heavy loads
•Extensive idling and/or driving at low-speeds for long distances
•Driving in dusty conditions
•Off-road operation
•Use of E85 fuel 50% of the time or greater (flex fuel vehicles only)
Important:For further details and information regarding these Special
Operating Conditions see page 53.
EXCEPTIONS
Some exceptions for specific vehicles and special applications are
outlined below. In addition, you will find further information under
Exceptionson page 56.
•Engine oil and engine coolant - time and mileage based interval
If you’re unsure which maintenance schedule to follow, ask your Ford
and Lincoln Mercury Dealership, or visit the Maintenance area of
www.genuineservice.com.
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 and/or foreign material contamination should be inspected
immediately by a qualified expert such as the factory-trained technicians
at your Ford or Lincoln Mercury 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.

and again at 500 miles (800 km) of new vehicle operation and after any wheel disturbance (tire rotation, changing a flat
tire, wheel removal, etc.).
❑Refer toWheel Lug Nut Torque Specificationin yourOwner’s Guidefor the proper lug nut torque specification.
