Replace the engine-mounted and frame-mounted fuelfilters.Every 15000 miles (24000km), 6 months, 600 enginehours
Replace the wheel bearing grease and grease seals if usingnon-sealed bearings. (Two-wheel drive vehicles)Every 30000 miles (48000km)
Inspect the engine and secondary cooling system coolantconcentration (freeze-point protection) and additive(corrosion inhibitor) strength. Add coolant additive ifnecessary.
Every 30000 miles (48000km) or 1200 engine hours
Flush and refill the coolant. Do not add coolant additive.Every 60000 miles (96000km) or 2400 engine hours
Note:When adding coolant additive, do not exceed the specified maximum of 48 fluidounces (1.4 liters) for the engine and 16 fluid ounces (473 ml) for the secondary coolingsystem. Operating the engine with excessive coolant additive may cause overheating whichcould lead to severe, permanent engine damage.
Note:After the initial coolant flush and fill at 60000 miles (96000 kilometers) or 2400engine hours, flush and fill every 45000 miles (72000 kilometers) or 1800 engine hoursthereafter.

California Fuel Filter Replacement
If you register your vehicle in California, theCalifornia Air Resources Board hasdetermined that the failure to perform thismaintenance item does not nullify theemission warranty or limit recall liabilitybefore the completion of your vehicle'suseful life. Ford Motor Company, however,urges you to have all recommendedmaintenance services performed at thespecified intervals and to record all vehicleservice.
Hot Climate Oil Change Intervals
Vehicles operating in the Middle East,North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa orlocations with similar climates using anAmerican Petroleum Institute (API)Certified for Gasoline Engines (Certificationmark) oil of SM or SN quality, the normaloil change interval is 3000 miles (5000kilometers).
If the available API SM or SN oils are notavailable, then the oil change interval is1800 miles (3000 kilometers).
Engine Air Filter and Cabin Air FilterReplacement
The life of the engine air filter and cabin airfilter is dependent on exposure to dustyand dirty conditions. Vehicles operated inthese conditions require frequentinspection and replacement of the engineair filter and cabin air filter.
Diesel Particulate Filter
The filter may need to be removed for ashcleaning at approximately 120000 miles(192000 kilometers) or greater (actualmileage can vary greatly depending uponengine and vehicle operating conditions)and replaced with a new orremanufactured (ash cleaned) part. Thefilter may need to be replaced atapproximately 250000 miles (400000kilometers) depending upon engine andvehicle operating conditions. In both cases,the engine control system sets a servicelight (wrench icon) to inform you to bringyour vehicle to the dealer for service. Ifthere are any issues with the oxidationcatalyst or particulate filter system, aservice light (wrench or engine icon) setsby the engine control system to inform youto bring your vehicle into a dealer forservice.
