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 P (Park) or N (Neutral). The meter is
incorporated with the vehicle odometer. Depressing the odometer-reset
button once will display the trip odometer (miles [km] followed by a “T”
for trip odometer); depressing the odometer-reset button a second time
will display the idle meter (hours followed by an “H” for hours). The idle
meter only accumulates time when the vehicle is in P (Park) or N
(Neutral). 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 will continue to break down but distance
is not accumulated on the odometer.
To assist fleet managers in maintaining proper oil change intervals, the
idle meter will help determine when an oil change is required. For every
hour that the vehicle idles, it has accumulated the equivalent of
approximately 33 miles (53 km) 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 (km) equivalency
Miles (km) driven + miles (km) equivalency = oil change interval
Example:When the odometer has accumulated 3,000 miles (4,800 km)
and the idle meter shows 61 hours, a 5,000 mile (8,000 km) oil change
interval will have been reached: 3,000 road miles (4,800 road km) + (61
idle hours x 33 miles [53 km]/idle hour) = 5,013 miles (8,067 km).

EXCEPTIONS
There are several exceptions to the Normal Schedule. They are listed
below:
Normal vehicle axle maintenance:Rear axles and power take-off
(PTO) units with synthetic fluid and light-duty trucks equipped with
Ford-design axles are lubricated for life; do not check or change fluid
unless a leak is suspected, service is required or the assembly has been
submerged in water. During long periods of trailer towing with outside
temperatures above 70°F (21°C) and at wide-open throttle for long
periods above 45 mph (72 km/h), non-synthetic rear axle fluids should be
changed every 3,000 miles (4,800 km) or three months, whichever comes
first. This interval can be waived if the axle is filled with 75W140
synthetic gear fluid meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A, part
number F1TZ-19580-B or equivalent. Add friction modifier XL-3
(EST-M2C118-A) or equivalent for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear
axles (refer toTechnical specificationsin theCapacities and
Specificationschapter for details).
Police/Taxi/Livery vehicle axle maintenance:Change rear axle fluid
every 100,000 miles (160,000 km). Rear axle fluid change may be waived
if the axle was filled with 75W140 synthetic gear fluid meeting Ford
specification WSL-M2C192-A, part number FITZ-19580-B or equivalent.
Add four ounces (118 mL) of additive friction modifier XL-3
(EST-M2C118-A) or equivalent for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear
axles. The axle fluid should be changed anytime the axle has been
submerged in water
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.
Class A Motorhome:Change brake fluid every two years.
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 5,000 miles (8,000 km).
If the available API “SM” or “SN” oils are not available, then the oil
change service interval is 3,000 mile (4,800 km).

Edge/MKX AWD only– vehicles operating off-road in sand during high
ambient temperatures must replace the AWD PTU (All-wheel drive
Power Transfer Unit) lube every 20,000 miles (32,000 km).
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.
