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
Axle Maintenance
Change the axle fluid anytime an axle is submerged in water.
California Fuel Filter Replacement
If you register your vehicle in California, the California Air Resources
Board has determined that the failure to perform this maintenance item
does not nullify the emission warranty or limit recall liability before the
completion of your 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 3000 miles (5000 kilometers).
If the available API SM or SN oils are not available, then the oil change
interval is 1800 miles (3000 kilometers).
Engine Air Filter and Cabin Air Filter Replacement
The life of the engine air filter and cabin air filter is dependent on
exposure to dusty and dirty conditions. Vehicles operated in these
conditions 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)
