any wheel disturbance (tire rotation, changing a flat tire, wheel removal, etc.).
❑On vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels, retighten the wheel lug nuts to the specified torque at 100 miles (160 km),
and again at 500 miles (800 km) of new vehicle operation and after any wheel disturbance (tire rotation, changing a flat

Multi-point inspection
In order to keep your vehicle running right, it is important that you have
the systems on your vehicle checked regularly. This can help identify any
potential issue before there are any problems. Ford Motor Company
suggests the following multi-point inspection to be performed at every
scheduled maintenance interval as the way to ensure your vehicle keeps
running right.
NORMAL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND LOG
For your convenience, your vehicle is equipped with a message center
which calculates the proper oil change service interval. You should
perform the engine oil change as indicated by the instrument cluster
message center. The message center will display ENGINE OIL CHANGE
SOON or OIL CHANGE REQUIRED to indicate when an oil change is
needed. The engine oil change service needs to be completed within two
weeks or 500 miles (800 km) after the OIL CHANGE REQUIRED
message is displayed. Your oil change service interval can be up to one
year or 10,000 miles (16,000 km). Reset your Intelligent Oil Life
Monitor™ after each engine oil and filter change; refer to the
Instrument Clusterchapter of the owner guide.
If your message center is prematurely reset or becomes inoperative, you
should perform the oil change interval at six months, 5,000 miles
(8,000 km) or 200 hours from your last oil change.
Multi-point inspection - recommended at every visit
❑Check and top-up fluid levels: brake, engine coolant reservoir, secondary low-temperature cooling system reservoir, automatic
transmission, power steering, window washer.
❑Inspect tires for wear and check air pressure, including spare.
❑Check exhaust system for leaks, damage, loose parts and foreign materials.
❑Check that holes in the tail-pipe of the exhaust system are clear of debris; the holes/slots are functional
❑Check battery performance.
❑Check operation of horn, exterior lamps, turn signals and hazard warning lights.
❑Check radiators, coolers and heater and air conditioning hoses.
❑Inspect windshield washer spray and wiper operation.
❑Check windshield for cracks, chips and pitting.
❑Inspect for oil and fluid leaks.
❑Inspect air filter.
❑Check shocks and struts and other suspension components for leaks and damage.

Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™
Your diesel engine is equipped with an Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ that
calculates the proper engine oil change service interval based on vehicle
use. The following table is intended to provide examples of vehicle use
and its impact on engine oil change interval; it is provided as a guideline
only. Actual engine oil change intervals will depend on several factors
and will generally decrease with severity of use.

maintenance requirements need to be adjusted. This needs to be
considered when determining vehicle service intervals.
Note:When adding supplemental coolant additive, do not exceed the
specified maximum of 48 fl. oz. (1.4L). Operating the engine with
excessive supplemental coolant additive may cause overheating which
could lead to severe permanent engine damage.
