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 as
identified in theMaintenance and Specificationschapter. Failure to
perform scheduled maintenance specific 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.
Your Ford dealer 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 equipped with the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ system
which displays a message in the message center at the proper oil change
service interval; this interval may be up to one year or 10,000 miles
(16,000 km). When ENGINE OIL CHANGE DUE or OIL CHANGE
REQUIRED appears in the message center display, it’s time for an oil
change; the oil change must be done within two weeks or 500 miles
(800 km) of the OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message appearing. The
Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ must be reset after each oil change; refer to
theInstrument Clusterchapter.
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 engine hours from your last oil change.
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.
Scheduled Maintenance Guide
68
2012 Diesel(67l)
Supplement(supplement), 1st Printing
Arabic_(LHD)(gc_lhd)

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, Motorcraftor 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.
Genuine Ford parts and service
When planning your maintenance services, consider your dealership for
all your vehicle’s needs.
There are a lot of reasons why your dealership is a great way to help
keep your vehicle running great.
Convenience
To make your service visit even more convenient, in many cases, you’ll find
extended evening hours and Saturday hours. How’s that for quality service?
Factory-trained technicians
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.

Engine coolant change interval
Initial change 6 years or 100,000 miles (160,000 km)
(whichever comes first), or as indicated from the
coolant tests for concentration (freeze-point) or
additive strength (corrosion inhibitor)
After initial change Every 3 years or 50,000 miles (80,000 km), or as
indicated from the coolant tests for concentration
(freeze-point) or additive strength (corrosion
inhibitor)
Use engine coolant specified in theMaintenance product
specifications and capacitiestable in theMaintenance and
Specificationschapter
Refer toSpecial operating conditionslater in this chapter
Check every month
Engine air filter restriction gauge
Fuel filter/water separator; drain if necessary (or if indicated by the
message center)
Holes/Slots in the tail pipe to make sure they are functional and clear
of debris
Retightening lug nuts*
Vehicles with single
rear wheelsRetighten the lug nuts to the specified torque at
500 miles (800 km) after any wheel disturbance
(tire rotation, changing a flat tire, wheel removal,
etc).
Vehicles with dual
rear wheelsRetighten 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 tire, wheel removal, etc).

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
Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™
Your vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ that
determines when the engine oil should be changed based on how your
vehicle is used. By using several important factors in its calculations, the
monitor helps reduce the cost of owning your vehicle and reduce
environmental waste at the same time. This means you won’t have to
remember to change the oil on a mileage-based schedule; the vehicle lets
you know when an oil change is due by displaying OIL CHANGE
REQUIRED in the message center. The following table is intended to
provide examples of vehicle use and its impact on engine oil change
intervals; 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.
When to expect the OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message
Miles (km) Vehicle use and examples
7500-10000
(12000-16000)Normal
– Normal commuting with highway driving
– No, or moderate, load/towing
– Flat to moderately hilly roads
– No extended idling
5000-7499
(8000-11999)Severe
– Moderate to heavy load/towing
– Mountainous or off-road conditions
– Extended idling
– Extended hot or cold operation
3000-4999
(4000-7999)Extreme
– Maximum load/towing
– Extreme hot or cold operation
– Use of high sulfur diesel fuel
Use the appropriate special operating condition for maintenance
information when using high sulfur diesel fuels, operating your vehicle
off-road or in dusty conditions (such as unpaved roads)
