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 30,000 mi
(48,000 km) or three months, whichever
comes first (if rear axle is filled with
non-synthetic fluid). This interval can be
waived and 150,000 mi (240,000km)
service interval can continue if the rear axle is filled with 75W85 synthetic gear fluid
meeting Ford specification
WSS-M2C942-A, part number
XY-75W85-QL, 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.
