ENERALMAINTENANCEINFORMATION
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; basically, it outlines what service your vehicle may require and when. 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.
While Ford Motor Company will not deny a warranty claim simply because there is no documentation,
damage or failures due to a lack of proper maintenance or neglect 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 ser vice, mileage
at the time of service, and attach your receipt. Not only will this make record keeping easy, but also 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 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 Guide.

ENERALMAINTENANCEINFORMATION
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 ‘‘Normal Schedule’’ (further segmented into ‘‘Trucks, Fullsize Vans & SUVs’’ and
‘‘Cars & Minivans’’) and ‘‘Special 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 the ‘‘Normal Schedule Trucks, Fullsize
Vans & SUVs,’’ or ‘‘Normal Schedule Cars & Minivans.’’
Special Operating Conditions:
If you feel you may not operate your vehicle under normal / everyday day conditions, but primarily under
the special operating conditions outlined below, you will need to increase the frequency of some
maintenance operations.
• 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 42.
Exceptions
There are some exceptions to all schedules for specific vehicles and special applications, outlined below. You
will find further information under ⬙Exceptions⬙ on page 46
• Engine oil and Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant - time and mileage based
interval
• Class A Motorhome - change the brake fluid and automatic transmission fluid
• Rear axle maintenance and lubrication
Last of all, if you’re unsure about which maintenance schedule to follow, ask your Ford and Lincoln
Mercury Dealership, or visit our website, www.genuineservice.com, then go to the service pick.
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 the
Owner’s Maintenance 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.

Tires
Tire maintenance and replacement selection when necessary are critical to
your vehicle’s performance and helping keep you and your passengers safe. Make
sure all tires and wheels are of the same size, type, tread design, brand
and load-carrying capacity, because they can affect the safety and performance
of your vehicle. When you need to replace your tires, consider visiting your
Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealership for name-brand tires and people who know your
vehicle.

Batteries
The technicians at your Ford and Lincoln Mercury dealerships can determine
the health of your vehicle’s battery during any service visit. The Motorcraft Tested
Tough Max Series with its ⬙long-life⬙ design outlasted the competitive long-life
batteries by up to 200%. That’s one reason why we stand behind this battery with
a national 3 year, free-replacement and prorated-cost thereafter up to 100
months with unlimited mileage. Should your battery need to be replaced, consider
any one of the batteries that bear the Motorcraft name

In addition, there are several exceptions to the Normal Schedule. They are listed below:
Maximim Oil Change Interval
❑ Normal Schedule: 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever occurs first.
❑ Special Operating Conditions: 3,000 miles, 3 months, or 200 hours of engine operation, whichever
occurs first see appropriate schedule on pages 42-43.
Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant
❑ 5 years or 100,000 miles - change Premuim Gold coolant (whichever comes first)
❑ After initial change - change Premium Gold coolant every 3 years or 50,000 miles (see page 48)
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 (21°C) 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 “Owner’s Guide” for quantity). The axle lubricant should
be changed anytime an axle has been submerged in water.
Police and Taxi 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.

❑ Replace rear axle lubricant every 100,000 miles under normal driving conditions on all E450 and
F450/550 applications. For E450 and F450/550 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 pages 42-43.
California Fuel Filter Replacement
❑ If vehicle is registered in California, the California Air Resources Board has determined that the failure
to perform this maintenance item will not nullify the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to
the completion of the vehicle’s useful life. We, however, urge that all recommended maintenance
services be performed at the indicated intervals and the maintenance be recorded.
