2010 Mercury Grand Marquis oil change

Example:When the odometer has accumulated 3,000 miles (4,828 km)
and the idle meter shows 61 hours, a 5,000 mile (8047 km) oil change
interval will have been reached: 3,000 road miles + (61 idle hours x
33 miles/idle hour) = 5,013 miles. In metric units this calculation would
be 4,828 kilometers + (61 idle hours x 53 km/idle hour) = 8,061 km.
REAR AXLE
Axle break-in – Police and middle eastern countries only
Rear axles in vehicles destined for use by police or in middle eastern
countries are equipped with a synthetic lubricant. Do not drive over
100 mph (160 km/h) for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) to allow axle
components to wear in. Additionally, only synthetic lubricant as specified
below should be used when maintenance is performed on the rear axle.

ELECTRICAL
Battery - police
The Motorcraft
maintenance-free battery normally does not require
additional water during its life. However, for severe service usage or in
high temperature climates, the electrolyte level should be checked at
least every five months or 5,000 miles (8,000 km). If the electrolyte level
is below the level indicator in any cell, add enough pure water to bring
the level up to the indicator. Never add electrolyte (battery acid) to the
battery as this could shorten battery life.
Battery - long term storage
Make sure that the battery is fully charged before putting the vehicle in
storage. Disconnect the negative cable if it will be stored for an extended
period of time.
If the battery is discharged, allow it to warm to a moderate temperature,
such as 60°F (16°C), and use a battery charger rather than the vehicles
charging system to bring the battery back to full charge. Use a battery

If after repeating the procedure and two short beeps are heard when the
ignition is turned to off, seek assistance from your authorized dealer.
Brakes - police
The police vehicle is equipped with heavy-duty front disc brake pads to
meet the varying demands of different police service for fade resistance
and other performance requirements.
The police vehicle has standard anti-lock brakes and may be equipped
with traction control.
Brake fluid maintenance
Police pursuits involving hard braking result in very high temperatures in
the brake system, including the brake fluid. Over time, repeated
exposure to high brake temperatures can degrade brake fluid, potentially
reducing its boiling point. A lower boiling point could cause long brake
pedal travel and a loss of braking confidence during subsequent pursuit
driving. Ford recommends that police fleets replace the brake fluid at
every brake pad service interval. Brake fluid may be replaced more
frequently on vehicles involved in frequent high-speed pursuits with
heavy brake usage.
INTERIOR
Heavy-duty seats - police
The front seat assemblies, including the seat adjustment mechanisms and
supports, are ruggedly designed and ensure working comfort. An
anti-stab plate is integrated into the seat back to reduce the risk of
officer injury. An adjustable power lumbar system is standard on the
driver’s seat.
Seat belt extenders
Some police departments have begun employing the use of seat belt
extenders to make the practice of buckling and unbuckling seat belts
easier for officers wearing hip mounted radios, side arms, etc.
Seat belt extenders should never be worn when the lap strap will not
adjust snugly on the hips and/or when the intersection of the lap belt
and shoulder belt straps (measured along the lap strap) is less than six
(6) inches (15 cm) from an imaginary center line of the occupant’s body.
WARNING:Do not use extensions to change the fit of the
shoulder belt across the torso.
