(800 km) after any wheel disturbance (such as tire rota-
tion, changing a flat tire or wheel removal).

Multi-point Inspection
In order to keep your vehicle running right,
it is important to have the systems on your
vehicle checked regularly. This can help
identify potential issues and prevent major
problems. We recommend having the
following multi-point inspection performed
at every scheduled maintenance interval
to help make sure your vehicle keeps
running great. Multi-point inspection
Horn operation
Accessory drive belt(s)
Radiator, cooler, heater and A/C hoses
Battery performance
Suspension component for leaks ordamage
Engine air filter
Steering and linkage
Exhaust system
Tires (including spare) for wear and properpressure**
Exterior lamps operation
Windshield for cracks, chips or pits
Fluid levels *
; fill if necessary

F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, First Printing Scheduled Maintenance

Multi-point inspection
Washer spray and wiper operation
For oil and fluid leaks
Hazard warning system operation
Hood rest for lubrication
* Brake, coolant recovery reservoir, automatic transmission, power steering and window
washer.
** If your vehicle is equipped with a temporary mobility kit, check the tire sealant expiration
Use By date on the canister. Replace as needed.
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. Your checklist gives you
immediate feedback on the overall
condition of your vehicle.
NORMAL SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor™
(Diesel Engine Only)
Your diesel engine is equipped with an
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor that determines
when you should change the engine oil
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 reduces
environmental waste at the same time. This means you do not have to remember
to change the oil on a mileage-based
schedule. Your vehicle lets you know when
an oil change is due by displaying a
message in the information display.
The following table provides examples of
vehicle use and its impact on oil change
intervals. It is a guideline only. Actual oil
change intervals depend on several factors
and generally decrease with severity of
use.
When to expect the message prompting you to change your oil
Vehicle use and example
Interval
Normal
7500-10000 miles
(12000-16000 km) Normal commuting with highway driving
No, or moderate, load or towing
Flat to moderately hilly roads
No extended idling
Severe
5000-7499 miles
(8000-11999 km)

F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, First Printing Scheduled Maintenance

When to expect the message prompting you to change your oil
Vehicle use and example
Interval
Moderate to heavy load or towing
Mountainous or off-road conditions
Extended idling
Extended hot or cold operation Extreme
3000-4999 miles (4000-7999 km) Maximum load or towing
Extreme hot or cold operation
Use of high sulfur diesel fuel
Note: Use the appropriate special operating
condition for maintenance information
when using high sulfur diesel fuels,
operating your vehicle off-road or in dusty
conditions (such as unpaved roads).
Normal Maintenance Intervals
Gasoline Engines Every 7500 miles (12000 km) or six months (whichever comes first)
Change the engine oil and filter.
Rotate the tires *
, inspect tire wear and measure tread depth.
Inspect the wheels and related components for abnormal noise, wear, looseness or
drag.
Perform a multi-point inspection (recommended).
Inspect front oil hubs for leaks and check fluid level through hub cap sight glass.
* Vehicles with dual rear wheels should rotate the front wheels when specified; rear wheels
only if unusual wear is noted.
324
F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, First Printing Scheduled Maintenance

Diesel Engine
At every oil change interval as indicated by the information display
1
Change the engine oil and filter. 2
Drain the fuel filter water trap.
Refill the diesel exhaust fluid tank.
Rotate the tires 3
, inspect the tires for wear and measure tread depth.
Perform a multi-point inspection (recommended).
Inspect the air filter restriction gauge. Replace the filter if necessary.
Inspect the automatic transmission fluid level. Consult an authorized dealer for
requirements.
Inspect the brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, brake linings, hoses and parking brake.
Inspect the engine and secondary coolant concentration (freeze-point protection), level
and hoses.
Inspect the exhaust system and heat shields.
Inspect the steering linkage, ball joints, suspension, tie-rod ends, driveshaft and U-joints.
Lubricate components equipped with grease fittings.
Inspect front oil hubs for leaks and check fluid level through hub cap sight glass.
1 Do not exceed one year or 10000 miles (16000 kilometers) between service intervals.
2 Reset the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor after engine oil and filter changes.
3 Vehicles with dual rear wheels should rotate the front wheels when specified; rear wheels
only if unusual wear is noted.
326
F-650/750 (TBC) , enUSA, First Printing Scheduled Maintenance

Rear Axle Maintenance
A rear axle fluid change or level check is
not required unless a leak is suspected 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), change
the rear axle fluid every 24,000 mi (38,000
km) or three months, whichever comes
first.
California Fuel Filter Replacement
If you register your vehicle in California, the
California Air Resources Board has
determined that the failure to perform this
maintenance item does not nullify the
emission warranty or limit recall liability
before the completion of your 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
The normal oil change interval is 3000
miles (5000 kilometers) for gasoline
vehicles operating in the Middle East, North
Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa or locations
with similar climates using American
Petroleum Institute (API) oils Certified for
Gasoline Engines and displaying the API
Certification Mark. If API Certified Oils are
not available, then it is acceptable to use
API SM or SN oils. If API oils are not
available, then the oil change interval is
1800 miles (3000 kilometers).
Engine Air Filter Replacement
The life of the engine air filter is dependent
on exposure to dusty and dirty conditions.
Vehicles operated in these conditions
require frequent inspection and
replacement of the engine air filter and
cabin air filter.
Diesel Particulate Filter
The filter may need to be removed for ash
cleaning at approximately 120000 miles
(192000 kilometers) or greater (actual
mileage can vary greatly depending upon
engine and vehicle operating conditions)
and replaced with a new or
re-manufactured (ash cleaned) part. The
filter may need to be replaced at
approximately 250000 miles (400000
kilometers) depending upon engine and
vehicle operating conditions. In both cases,
the engine control system sets a service
light (wrench icon) to inform you to bring
your vehicle to the dealer for service. If
there are any issues with the oxidation
catalyst or particulate filter system, a
service light (wrench or engine icon) sets
by the engine control system to inform you
to bring your vehicle into a dealer for
service.
