Get the most from your vehicle with routine maintenance

Routine maintenance is the best way to help ensure you get the performance, dependability, long life and resale value you expect from your vehicle. This is exactly why we’ve put together the Scheduled Maintenance Guide. It outlines the services required to properly maintain your vehicle and when they should be performed. The focus is on maintaining your vehicle while it’s running great, which goes a long way toward preventing major repairs and expenses later.

Here are a few suggestions to help you get started on the road to routine maintenance:

• Familiarize yourself with your vehicle by going through your

Owner’s Guide

• Take a few minutes to review this handy Scheduled Maintenance Guide

• Make it a habit to use this guide to record scheduled maintenance

• Consider your Ford and Lincoln Mercury Dealership for all your vehicle’s needs

Protect your warranty!

Routine maintenance is not only the best way to help keep your vehicle running great, it’s also the best way to protect your warranty. While maintenance and repair services may be performed by you or by any automotive service provider you choose, 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 specified in this guide will invalidate warranty coverage on parts affected by the lack of maintenance. We can’t stress enough how important it is to keep records of all maintenance. This guide will help you do just that. Ford Motor Company will not deny a warranty claim simply because there is no documentation. However, damage or failures due to neglect or a lack of proper maintenance

are not covered under warranty.

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: the

• 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)

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.

Chemicals and Additives

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.

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 on your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealership to properly diagnose and repair your vehicle.

When planning your maintenance services, consider your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealership for all your vehicle’s needs.

A proper repair begins with a thorough system check. Factory Authorized Systems Checks can ONLY be found at a Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealership. In some circumstances, the Technician may need to request your authorization to perform additional operations to determine the final diagnosis.

Tires

Proper tire maintenance and replacement are critical to your vehicle’s performance and helps keep you and your passengers safe. Only use replacement tires and wheels that are the same size, load index, speed rating and type (such as P-metric versus LT-metric or all-season versus all-terrain) as those originally provided by Ford. The recommended tire and wheel size may be found on either the Safety Compliance Certification Label or the Tire Label which is located on the B-Pillar or edge of the driver’s door. If this information is not found on these labels then you should consult your Ford Dealer. Use of any tire or wheel not recommended by Ford can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. Additionally the use of non-recommended tires and wheels could cause steering, suspension, axle or transfer case/power transfer unit failure. If you have questions regarding tire replacement, see an authorized dealer. When you need to replace your tires, please visit your Ford or Lincoln Mercury Dealership for name-brand tires and people who know your vehicle.

ENGINE IDLE HOUR METER (IF EQUIPPED):

Your vehicle may be equipped with an idle meter to indicate how much time the vehicle is idling in P (Park) or N (Neutral). The meter is incorporated with the vehicle odometer. Depressing the odometer-reset button once will display the trip odometer (miles followed by a “T” for trip odometer). Depressing the odometer-reset button a second time will display the idle meter (hours followed by an “H” for hours). The idle meter only accumulates time when the vehicle is in P (Park) or N (Neutral). Displayed time is cumulative for the vehicle. It cannot be reset to zero. Police/Fleet vehicles often experience long periods of idling, during which engine oil will continue to break down but mileage is not accumulated on the odometer.

To assist fleet managers in maintaining proper oil change intervals, the idle meter will help determine when an oil change is required. For every hour that the vehicle idles, it has accumulated the equivalent of approximately 33 miles of driving. Using the combination of the vehicle odometer and idle meter allows the fleet manager to better determine when the oil needs to be changed

Engine idle hour meter calculation:

XCEPTIONS

In addition, there are several exceptions to the Normal Schedule. They are listed below:

Normal Vehicle Axle Maintenance

Rear axles and power take off (PTO) units containing synthetic lubricant and light duty trucks equipped with

❑

Ford-design axles are lubricated for life. These lubricants are not to be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is required or the axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle and PTO lubricant should be changed anytime the axle and PTO have been submerged in water. During extended trailer tow operation above 70°F ambient and wide open throttle for extended periods above 45 mph, non-synthetic rear axle lubricants should be replaced every 3,000 miles or 3 months, whichever occurs first. The 3,000 mile lube change interval may be waived if the axle was filled with 75W140 synthetic gear lubricant meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A, part number F1TZ-19580-B or equivalent. Add friction modifier C8AZ-19B546-A (EST-M2C118-A) or equivalent for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear axles (see lubricant should be changed anytime an axle has been submerged in water.

Police/Taxi/Livery Vehicle Axle Maintenance

Replace rear axle lubricant every 100,000 miles. Rear axle lubricant change may be waived if the axle was

❑

filled with 75W140 synthetic gear lubricant meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A, part number FITZ-19580-B or equivalent. Add four ounces of additive friction modifier C8AZ-19B546-A (EST-M2C118-A) or equivalent for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear axles. The axle lubricant should be changed anytime the axle has been submerged in water.

E–450 and F–450/550 Axle Maintenance

Replace rear axle lubricant every 100,000 miles under normal driving conditions on all E–450 and

❑

F–450/550 applications. For E–450 and F–450/550 vehicles operated at or near maximum Gross Vehicle Weights, the rear axle lubricant should be replaced every 50,000 miles. In addition, this 50,000 mile schedule should be observed when the vehicles are operated under the Special Operating Conditions, where noted, on page 42.
