GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
Why maintain your vehicle?
This guide describes the scheduled maintenance required for your vehicle.
Carefully following this 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.
It is your responsibility to see that all scheduled maintenance is performed
and that the materials used meet Ford engineering specifications. Failure
to perform scheduled maintenance in this guide will invalidate warranty
coverage on parts affected by the lack of maintenance. Be sure receipts for
completed maintenance are kept with the vehicle and confirmation of the
work performed is always recorded in this guide.
Your Ford dealer has factory-trained technicians who can perform the
required maintenance using genuine Ford parts. They are committed to
meeting your service needs and to assuring your continuing satisfaction.
Protecting your investment
Maintenance is an investment that will pay 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.
For your convenience, your vehicle is equipped with a message center
which determines the proper oil change service interval. You should
perform the engine oil change as indicated by the instrument cluster
message center. The message center will display ENGINE OIL CHANGE
SOON or OIL CHANGE REQUIRED to indicate when an oil change is
needed. The engine oil change service needs to be completed within two
weeks or 500 miles (800 km) after the OIL CHANGE REQUIRED
message is displayed. Your oil change service interval can be up to one
year or 10,000 miles (16,000 km) depending on operating conditions.
Reset your Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ after each engine oil and filter
change; refer to theInstrument Clusterchapter of the owner guide.
If your message center is prematurely reset or becomes inoperative, you
should perform the oil change interval at six months, 5,000 miles
(8,000 km) or 200 hours from your last oil change.
Your vehicle is very sophisticated and built with multiple complex
performance systems. Every manufacturer develops these systems using
different specifications and performance features. That’s why it’s
important to rely upon your Ford dealership to properly diagnose and
repair your vehicle.
Scheduled Maintenance Guide
63
2011 Econoline(eco)

USA(fus)

Ford Motor Company has recommended maintenance intervals for
various parts and component systems based upon engineering testing.
Ford Motor Company relies 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 recommends against
maintenance schedules that deviate from the scheduled maintenance
information.
Ford strongly recommends the use of genuine Ford replacement parts.
Parts other than Ford, Motorcraftor Ford-authorized remanufactured
parts that are used for maintenance replacement or for the service of
components affecting emission control must be equivalent to genuine
Ford Motor Company parts in performance and durability. It is the
owner’s responsibility to determine the equivalency of such parts. Please
consult yourWarranty Guidefor complete warranty information.
Non Ford-approved chemicals or additives are not required for factory
recommended maintenance. In fact, Ford Motor Company recommends
against the use of such additive products unless specifically
recommended by Ford for a particular application.
Oils, fluids and flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a normal operating characteristic of
the chemical compound and may not necessarily demonstrate that a fluid
needs to be changed. Oils and fluids identified in this guide should be
changed at the specified interval or in conjunction with a repair. Flushing
is a viable way to change fluid for many vehicle sub-systems during
scheduled maintenance and should only be done using the same fluid
required to finish the maintenance procedure, or a Ford-approved
flushing chemical.
Genuine Ford parts and service
When planning your maintenance services, consider your Ford dealership
for all your vehicle’s needs.
Get the most from your service and maintenance visits
There are a lot of reasons why your Ford dealership is a great way to
help keep your vehicle running great.
Convenience
To make your service visit even more convenient, in many cases, you’ll
find extended evening hours and Saturday hours. How’s that for quality
service?

Factory-trained technicians
Ford service technicians participate in extensive factory-sponsored training
to help them become the experts on the operation of your vehicle. Many
participate in Ford-sponsored training to become certified. Ask your dealer
about the training and certification their technicians have received.
Genuine Ford and Motorcraftreplacement parts
Ford dealerships stock Ford and Motorcraftbranded replacement parts.
These parts meet or exceed Ford Motor Company’s specifications, and
we stand behind them. Maintenance parts installed at your Ford
dealership carry a nationwide, 12 months, 12,000 mile (20,000 km) parts
and labor limited warranty. Your dealer can give you details.
Value shopping for your vehicle’s maintenance needs
Your dealership recognizes the competitive landscape of maintenance and
light repair automotive services. With factory-trained technicians, and
one-stop service from routine maintenance like oil changes and tire
rotations to repairs like brake service, check out the value your Ford
dealers can offer.
WHICH MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE SHOULD YOU FOLLOW?
Owner checks and services
Refer to Mileage Intervals for Additional Checks and Services
Certain basic maintenance checks and inspections should be performed by
the owner or a service technician at the intervals indicated. Service
information and supporting specifications are provided in theOwner’s Guide.
Any adverse condition should be brought to the attention of your dealer
or qualified service technician as soon as possible for the proper service
advice. The owner maintenance service checks are generally not covered
by warranties so you may be charged for labor, parts or lubricants used.

Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™
Your diesel engine is equipped with an Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ that
calculates the proper engine oil change service interval based on vehicle
use. The following table is intended to provide examples of vehicle use
and its impact on engine oil change interval; it is provided as a guideline
only. Actual engine oil change intervals will depend on several factors
and will generally decrease with severity of use.
