2017 FORD POLICE INTERCEPTOR UTILITY reset

When the oil change message appears in
the information display, it is time for an oil
change. Make sure you perform the oil
change within two weeks or 500 miles
(800 kilometers) of the message
appearing. Make sure you reset the
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor after each oil
change. See Oil Change Indicator Reset
(page 186).
If your information display resets
prematurely or becomes inoperative, you
should perform the oil change interval at
six months or 5000 miles (8000
kilometers) from your last oil change.
Never exceed one year or 10000 miles
(16000 kilometers) between oil change
intervals.
Your vehicle is very sophisticated and built
with multiple, complex, performance
systems. Every manufacturer develops
these systems using different
specifications and performance features.
That is why it is important to rely upon your
dealership to properly diagnose and repair
your vehicle.
Ford Motor Company has recommended
maintenance intervals for various parts
and component systems based upon
engineering testing. Ford Motor Company
relies upon this testing to determine the
most appropriate mileage for replacement
of oils and fluids to protect your vehicle at
the lowest overall cost to you and
recommends against maintenance
schedules that deviate from the scheduled
maintenance information.
We strongly recommend the use of only
genuine Ford, Motorcraft or
Ford-authorized re-manufactured
replacement parts engineered for your
vehicle. Additives and Chemicals
This owner's manual and the Ford
Workshop Manual list the recommended
additives and chemicals for your vehicle.
We do not recommend using chemicals or
additives not approved by us as part of
your vehicle
’s normal maintenance. Please
consult your warranty information.
Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a
normal operating characteristic and, by
itself, does not necessarily indicate a
concern or that the fluid needs to be
changed. However, a qualified expert, such
as the factory-trained technicians at your
dealership, should inspect discolored fluids
that also show signs of overheating or
foreign material contamination
immediately.
Make sure to change your vehicle ’s oils and
fluids at the specified intervals or in
conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a
viable way to change fluid for many vehicle
sub-systems during scheduled
maintenance. It is critical that systems are
flushed only with new fluid that is the same
as that required to fill and operate the
system or using a Ford-approved flushing
chemical.
Owner Checks and Services
Make sure you perform the following basic
maintenance checks and inspections every
month or at six-month intervals.

Every oil change
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).
309
Police Interceptor (TUB) Canada/United States of America, Police, enUSA, First Printing Scheduled Maintenance

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:
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 lube will be more likely to require a
fluid 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
3000 miles (4800 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.
