Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a normal operating characteristic
and, by itself, does not necessarily indicate a concern or that the fluid
needs to be changed. However, discolored fluids that also show signs of
overheating and foreign material contamination should be inspected
immediately by a qualified expert, such as the factory-trained technicians
at your dealership. Your vehicle’s oils and fluids should be changed at the
specified intervals or in conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a viable
way to change fluid for many vehicle sub-systems during scheduled
maintenance. It is critical that systems are flushed only with new fluid
that is the same as that required to fill and operate the system, or using
a Ford-approved flushing chemical.
Owner Checks and Services
Certain basic maintenance checks and inspections should be performed by
the owner or a service technician at the intervals indicated. Service
information and supporting specifications are provided in theOwner’s Guide.
Any adverse condition should be brought to the attention of your dealer
or qualified service technician as soon as possible for the proper service
advice. The owner maintenance service checks are generally not covered
by warranties so you may be charged for labor, parts or fluids used.
Check Every Month
Engine air filter restriction gauge.
Fuel filter/water separator. Drain if necessary (or if indicated by the
information display).
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.)
*SeeWheel lug nut torque specificationsin yourOwner’s Manualfor
the proper lug nut torque specification.

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 needs to 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 information display. 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 depend on several factors and 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 or towing
– Flat to moderately hilly roads
– No extended idling
5000-7499
(8000-11999)Severe
– Moderate to heavy load or towing
– Mountainous or off-road conditions
– Extended idling
– Extended hot or cold operation
3000-4999
(4000-7999)Extreme
– Maximum load or 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)

SPECIAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
If you operate your vehicleprimarilyin one of the conditions listed
below, you will need to have some items serviced more frequently. If you
onlyoccasionallyoperate your vehicle under any of these conditions,
you don’t need to perform the additional maintenance. For specific
recommendations, see your dealership service advisor or technician.
Perform the services noted in the following tables at the specified
time/mileage (kilometer) period either within 3000 miles
(4800 kilometers) of the OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message appearing in
the information display or when the time/mileage (kilometer) reading
indicates service is due.
Example #1:The OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message comes on at
19751 miles (31786 kilometers). Perform the 22500 mile
(36000 kilometer) fuel filter replacement.
Example #2:The OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message hasnotcome on
but the odometer reads 22500 miles (36000 kilometers). Perform the fuel
filter replacement. (i.e., Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor® was reset at
15000 miles [24000 kilometers].)
Note:Vehicles operating under these severe service conditions need to
have their maintenance requirements adjusted. This needs to be
considered when determining vehicle service intervals.
Frequent/Extended Idling (Over 10 Minutes Per Hour of Normal
Driving) or Frequent Low-speed Operation if Vehicle is Used for
Stationary Operation
As required Change engine oil and filter as indicated by
the information display and perform services
listed in the scheduled maintenance chart.
