Exceptions
There are several exceptions to the Normal
Schedule:
Axle and PTU maintenance: The Power
Transfer Unit (PTU) and rear axle (AWD only)
in your vehicle does not require any normal
scheduled maintenance. Vehicles are
electronically monitored and notify the driver
required service by displaying a message in
the information display. The PTU lubricant
will be more likely to require a change if the
vehicle has experienced extended periods
of extreme/severe duty cycle driving. Changing or checking the PTU lubricant is
not necessary unless the unit has been
submerged in water, shows signs of leakage
or a message indicating required service is
displayed. Contact your authorized dealer
for service.
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 5000 miles
(8000 kilometers).
If the available API SM or SN oils are not
available, then the oil change interval is
3,000 mi (4,800 km)
.
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.
