Engine Idle Hour Meter
Your vehicle may been fitted with an idle
meter to indicate how much time the
vehicle has been sitting in park (P) or
neutral (N). The meter is incorporated with
the vehicle odometer. Depressing the
odometer-reset button once displays the
trip odometer (miles [kilometers]
following by a "T" for trip odometer);
depressing the odometer-reset button a
second time displays the idle meter (hours
following by an "H" for hours). The idle
meter only accumulates time when the
vehicle is in park (P) or neutral (N).
Displayed time is cumulative for the vehicle
and cannot be reset to zero. Police vehicles
often experience long periods of idling,
during which engine oil continues to break
down but distance is not accumulated on
the odometer.
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
There are several exceptions to the Normal
Schedule:
Rear axle maintenance: A rear axle fluid
change or level check is not required unless
a leak is suspected 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), change the rear axle
fluid every 22,500 mi (36,000 km) or three
months, whichever comes first (if rear axle
is filled with non-synthetic fluid). This
interval can be waived and 240,000 mi
(380,000km) service interval can be used
if the rear axle is filled with 75W90
synthetic gear fluid meeting Ford
specification ES-PM-M2013, part number
XY-75W90-QLS, or equivalent. Add friction
modifier XL-3 (EST-M2C118-A) or
equivalent for complete refill of
Traction-Lok rear axles.
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
3000 miles (4800 kilometers).
Engine air filter replacement: The life of
the engine 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.
