SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):
Owner Name:
Address:
Note:Use only a 6.4L diesel engine that has been configured for use with
high sulfur diesel fuel in markets with diesel fuel that has sulfur content
greater than 15 ppm. Using low sulfur diesel fuel (16–500 ppm) or high
sulfur diesel fuel (greater than 500 ppm) in a 6.4L diesel engine
designed to use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel increases the likelihood
of engine oil dilution with fuel which may lead to major engine damage.
Vehicles that are operated in high sulfur diesel fuel markets must be
configured for the high sulfur fuel and require a different maintenance
schedule.

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.

Scheduled Maintenance: General Information
59

Your Ford dealer, or Ford Quality Care Center 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.
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.
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, Motorcraft or 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.
Engine Emissions label
Emissions information appears on the Engine Emissions label on the
engine valve cover. This decal identifies engine displacement and
provides certain engine specifications.
Any modification of the emissions control system could create liability
under federal law (U.S.) if made prior to sale and registration, under the
laws of some states if made thereafter. Further, federal law prohibits
vehicle manufacturers, dealers and other persons engaged in the
business of repairing, servicing, selling, leasing or trading motor vehicles
as well as fleet operations from knowingly removing or rendering an
emissions control system inoperative after sale and delivery to an
ultimate purchaser. In Canada, modifications of the emissions control
system could create liability under applicable federal or provincial laws.
Genuine Ford Parts and Service
When planning your maintenance services, consider your Ford dealership
for all your vehicle’s needs.

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.
Factory Authorized Systems Checks
In the event that your vehicle experiences a component related concern,
please contact your Ford dealership. The Ford Motor Company Trained
Technicians who work at Ford dealerships are specifically trained to
understand your vehicle.

A proper repair begins with a thorough system check. A Factory
Authorized Systems Check can ONLY be found at a Ford dealership. In
some circumstances, the technician may need to request your

diagnosis. The technician’s goal is to ensure that your vehicle is fixed
right the first time, at the best value to you.
