scheduled intervals because they are considered essential to the life and
performance of your vehicle. Ford recommends that you perform
maintenance on all designated items to achieve best vehicle operation.
Scheduled maintenance beyond 160 930 km (100 000 miles) should be
continued as before 160 930 km (100 000 miles).
SPECIAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
If your driving habitsfrequentlyinclude one or more the following
conditions:
²Short trips oflessthan 16 km (ten miles) when outside temperatures
remain below freezing.
²Operating duringhot weatherin stop-and-go ªrush hourº traffic.
²Operating in severe dust conditions.
²Extensive idling, or low speed operation such as door-to-door delivery
service.
²High speed operation with a fully loaded vehicle (max. GVW).
²Snowplowing.
Perform the following:
²Change engine oil and oil filter every three months, 8 000 km (5 000
miles) or 125 hours of engine service.
²If operating in severe dust conditions, replace the air cleaner filter
more often than regular intervals as determined by the air filter
restriction indicator. Make sure that the air filter restriction indicator
is in good working order.
²Lube the manual transmission and the rear axle every 48 279 km
(30 000 miles) or 6 months, whichever comes first.
²See the Allison, Cummins and Caterpillar Operator's Manual.
AIR BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
Failure to maintain proper air brake adjustment can result in
reduction or loss of braking ability.
Air brake inspection and adjustment should be performed by a qualified
service technician in accordance with the instructions in the Ford Truck
Service Manual.

* Coolant protection checks should be made just prior to the onset of
freezing weather, where applicable. If coolant is dirty or rusty in
appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with the
prescribed solution of cooling system fluid and water. Use only
permanent type coolant that meets Ford specifications ESE-M97B18-C.
See the engine manufacturer's operating guide for supplimental
corrosion inhibitor specifications.
