Every Oil Change
ClutchLubricate the clutch release cross shaft and all
linkages.
Check the clutch fluid level.
Fuel SystemDrain the accumulated water or sediment from
the fuel tank(s).
Steering SystemLubricate the steering shaft(s), U-joints and
splines if equipped with grease fittings.
Lubricate the front axle spindle pins.
Lubricate the steering linkage when equipped
with grease fittings.
Lubricate the power steering gear output shaft.
*Make coolant protection checks just before the onset of freezing
weather, where applicable. If coolant is dirty or rusty in appearance,
drain the system, flush and refill the system with the prescribed solution
of cooling system fluid and distilled water. Use only permanent type
coolant that meets specifications as listed in your engine operator’s
manual. See the engine manufacturer’s operating guide for supplemental
corrosion inhibitor specifications.
Periodic Component and System Checks
The following are vehicle checks that should be made periodically either
by the owner or a qualified technician. Bring any deficiencies to the
attention of an authorized dealer or another qualified service outlet as
soon as possible to obtain advice about the need for service or
replacement.
Frequency Recommended Action
At every engine start up. Check ABS lamp operation.
After first 500 and 1000 miles (800
and 1600 km), then every 500 and
1000 mile (800 and 1600 km)
interval after tire removal or
replacement.Tighten the wheel mounting nuts
to the specified torque. See
Technical specificationsin the
Wheels and Tireschapter.
At least twice annually. Clean body and door drain holes.
As required. Clean windshield wiper blades.

Excessive noise from under the
cab or engine compartment.Inspect your vehicle for missing,
damaged or mislocated noise
shields.
Excessive engine noise. Check the engine performance and
the engine governor.
Engine overheats; excessive fan
noise; fan constantly runs at high
speed or wobbles due to worn
bearings.Inspect the fan, fan shroud and fan
clutch.
Excessive exhaust noise; you smell
exhaust fumes.Inspect the entire exhaust system
for holes, leaks, breakage,
looseness and corrosive damage.
Excessive engine compartment
noise.Inspect the engine air induction
system (including air ducts and air
filter) for loose, damaged or
missing components.
Poor steering; wandering;
excessive tire wear.Check front end alignment, inspect
the tires and tire pressure.
3
Vibration or abnormal tire wear
indicating imbalance.Balance the wheels and the tires.
Hard shifting or excessive
vibration.Check the transmission and engine
mountings.
2
High effort to shift; noisy
transmission.Check and adjust transmission
controls.2
Insufficient full-throttle power;
backfiring.Check fuel pump pressure.
Radiator cap does not hold
pressure.Clean the cap seal and cap surface
on the radiator.
Electrical power supply has
diminished.Check the battery terminals for
corrosion.

Vehicle System Acts
Exhaust Removal or rendering inoperative exhaust system
components including the catalytic converter -
muffler assembly, inlet pipe, outlet pipe,
resonator and flex pipe. Rotation of horizontal
exhaust system directional outlet pipe to cause
the exhaust to be emitted in a direction other
than the orientation your vehicle was originally
produced with.
Engine cooling Removal or rendering inoperative the fan clutch.
Removal or modification of the fan shroud.
Replacing a fixed fan with a fan of increased
diameter, different number of blades or different
pitch width.
DEF (Diesel
exhaust fluid)Removal or rendering inoperative DEF system
components including the DEF tank, dosing
module, dosing supply module, dosing control
unit, NOx electronic module or NOx sensor.
Emissions Control System(s) Laws
Federal law prohibits vehicle manufacturers, dealers and other persons
engaged in the business of repairing, servicing, selling, leasing or trading
motor vehicles, as well as fleet operators from knowingly removing or
rendering an emissions control device or system inoperative. Further,
modifications of the emissions control system(s) could create liability on
the part of individual owners under the laws of some states. In Canada,
modification of the emissions control system could create liability under
applicable Federal or Provincial laws.
Maintenance
Instructions for maintenance and service of the noise control system
have been included in the required maintenance services and in the
general maintenance section. To further help minimize noise emissions
degradation throughout the life of your vehicle, Ford Motor Company
recommends that you operate this vehicle in the manner described
within this owner’s manual. Caution should be exercised by the owner
when installing replacement parts to be sure that a tampering act (as
outlined above) is not committed. Note any inspection and service
performed in the maintenance log.
