ENGINE IDLE HOUR METER (IF EQUIPPED):
Your vehicle may be equipped with an idle meter to indicate how much
time the vehicle is idling in positionPorN.The meter is incorporated with
the vehicle odometer. Depressing the odometer-reset button once displays
the trip odometer (miles [kilometers] followed by a “T” for trip odometer);
depressing the odometer-reset button a second time displays the idle meter
(hours followed by an “H” for hours). The idle meter only accumulates
time when the vehicle is in positionPorN.Displayed time is cumulative
for the vehicle.It cannot be reset to zero.Police/Fleet vehicles often
experience long periods of idling, during which engine oil continues to
break down but distance is not accumulated on the odometer.
To assist fleet managers in maintaining proper oil change intervals, the
idle meter helps determine when an oil change is required. For every
hour that the vehicle idles, it has accumulated the equivalent of
approximately 33 miles (53 kilometers) of driving. Using the combination
of the vehicle odometer and idle meter allows the fleet manager to better
determine when the oil needs to be changed

Engine idle hour meter calculation:
Idle hours x 33 = miles (kilometers) equivalency
Miles (kilometers) driven + miles (kilometers) equivalency = oil change
interval
Example:When the odometer has accumulated 3000 miles
(4800 kilometers) and the idle meter shows 61 hours, a 5000 mile (8000
kilometer) oil change interval has been reached: 3000 road miles (4800
road kilometers) + (61 idle hours x 33 miles [53 km]/idle hour) =
5013 miles (8067 kilometers).

EXCEPTIONS
There are some exceptions to the Normal Schedule. They are listed
below:
California fuel filter replacement:If the vehicle is registered in
California, the California Air Resources Board has determined that the
failure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify the emission
warranty or limit recall liability prior to the completion of the vehicle’s
useful life. Ford Motor Company, however, urges you to have all
recommended maintenance services performed at the specified intervals
and to record all vehicle service.
Hot climate oil change intervals:Vehicles operating in the Middle
East, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa or locations with similar climates
using an American Petroleum Institute (API) Certified for Gasoline
Engines (Certification mark) oil of SM or SN quality, the normal oil
change interval is 5000 miles (8000 kilometers).
If the available API SM or SN oils are not available, then the oil change
service interval is 3000 miles (4800 kilometers).
Engine air filter & cabin air filter replacement:Engine air filter and
cabin air filter life is dependent on exposure to dusty and dirty
conditions. Vehicles operated in these conditions will require frequent
inspection and replacement of the engine air filter and cabin air filter.
ENGINE COOLANT CHANGE RECORD
Initial change Six years or 100000 miles (160000 km)
(whichever comes first)
After initial change Every three years or 50000 miles (80000 km)
