Engine coolant change interval
Initial change 6 years or 100,000 miles (160,000 km)
(whichever comes first), or as indicated from the
coolant tests for concentration (freeze-point) or
additive strength (corrosion inhibitor)
After initial change Every 3 years or 50,000 miles (80,000 km), or as
indicated from the coolant tests for concentration
(freeze-point) or additive strength (corrosion
inhibitor)
Use engine coolant specified in theMaintenance product
specifications and capacitiestable in theMaintenance and
Specificationschapter
Refer toSpecial operating conditionslater in this chapter
Check every month
Engine air filter restriction gauge
Fuel filter/water separator; drain if necessary (or if indicated by the
message center)
Holes/Slots in the tail pipe to make sure they are functional and clear
of debris
Retightening lug nuts*
Vehicles with single
rear wheelsRetighten the lug nuts to the specified torque at
500 miles (800 km) after any wheel disturbance
(tire rotation, changing a flat tire, wheel removal,
etc).
Vehicles with dual
rear wheelsRetighten the wheel lug nuts to the specified
torque at 100 miles (160 km), 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 specificationsin yourOwner’s Guide

Multi-point inspection
In order to keep your vehicle running right, it is important that you have
the systems on your vehicle checked regularly. This can help identify any
potential issue before there are any problems. Ford Motor Company
suggests the following multi-point inspection to be performed at every
scheduled maintenance interval as the way to ensure your vehicle keeps
running right.
Multi-point inspection - recommended each visit
Accessory drive belt(s) Holes/Slots in the tail-pipe to make
sure they are functional and clear of
debris
Battery performance Horn operation
Engine air filter Radiators, coolers and heater and air
conditioning hoses
Exhaust system Shocks and struts and other
suspension components for leaks and
damage
Exterior lamps and hazard
warning system operationTires for wear and check air pressure,
including spare
Fluid levels*; fill if necessary Windshield for cracks, chips and
pitting
For oil and fluid leaks Windshield washer spray and wiper
operation
*Brake, engine coolant reservoir, secondary low-temperature cooling
system reservoir, automatic transmission, power steering and window
washer

NORMAL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND LOG
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 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 will depend on several factors and will generally decrease with
severity of use.
When to expect the OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message
Miles (km) Vehicle use and examples
7500-10000
(12000-16000)Normal
– Normal commuting with highway driving
– No, or moderate, load/towing
– Flat to moderately hilly roads
– No extended idling
5000-7499
(8000-11999)Severe
– Moderate to heavy load/towing
– Mountainous or off-road conditions
– Extended idling
– Extended hot or cold operation
3000-4999
(4000-7999)Extreme
– Maximum load/towing
– Extreme hot or cold operation
– Use of high sulfur diesel fuel
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)

At every oil change
interval as indicated
by the message
centerChange engine oil and filter
Refill diesel exhaust fluid tank

depth; vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels
should only rotate the rear wheels if unusual
wear is observed
Perform multi-point inspection (recommended)
Inspect air filter restriction gauge, replace filter
as necessary
Inspect automatic transmission fluid level
Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, brake
linings, hoses and parking brake
Inspect cabin air filter (if equipped)
Inspect engine cooling system strength and hoses
Inspect exhaust system and heat shields
Inspect front axle and U-joints; lubricate if
equipped with grease fittings (4WD vehicles)

Inspect steering linkage, ball joints, suspension,
tie-rod ends, driveshaft and U-joints; lubricate if
equipped with grease fittings
Inspect wheels and related components for
abnormal noise, wear, looseness or drag
Reset your Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ after each engine oil and filter
change; refer to theInstrument Clusterchapter in yourOwner’s
Guide.

SPECIAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
If you operate your vehicleprimarilyin one of the conditions listed
below, you will need to have some items serviced more frequently. If you
onlyoccasionallyoperate your vehicle under any of these conditions,
you don’t need to perform the additional maintenance. For specific
recommendations, see your dealership service advisor or technician.
Frequent/extended idling (over 10 minutes per hour of normal
driving) or frequent low speed operation if vehicle is used for
stationary operation
As required Change engine oil and filter as indicated by
message center and perform services listed in the
scheduled maintenance chart
Every 15,000 miles
(24,000 km), 6 months,
600 engine hours or as
indicated by message
centerReplace engine- and frame-mounted fuel filters
Every 15,000 miles
(24,000 km) or 600
engine hoursInspect concentration (freeze-point protection)
and additive strength (corrosion inhibitor); add
engine coolant additive, if required
Every 60,000 miles
(96,000 km) or 2,400
engine hoursFlush and refill engine coolant; do not add
engine coolant additive
Perform the services noted in the preceding table at the specified
time/mileage (km) period either within 3,000 miles (4,800 km) of the
OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message appearing in the message center or
when the time/mileage (km) reading indicates service is due.
Example #1:The OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message comes on at
19,751 miles (31,786 km); perform the 22,500 mile (36,000 km) fuel
filter replacement.
Example #2:The OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message hasnotcome on
but the odometer reads 22,500 miles (36,000 km); perform the fuel filter
replacement. (i.e., Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ was reset at 15,000 miles
[24,000 km].)
Note:Vehicles operating under these severe service conditions need to
have their maintenance requirements adjusted. This needs to be
considered when determining vehicle service intervals.
