Exceptions
Axle and Transfer Case Maintenance
Axle(s) and transfer case (4X4 only) fluid
changes or level checks are 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) or at wide-open throttle for long periods
above45 mph (72 km/h), change the rear
axle fluid every 30,000 mi (48,000 km) if
the rear axle is filled with non-synthetic
fluid. This interval can be waived and the
150,000 mi (240,000km) service interval
can continue if the rear axle is filled with
75W140 synthetic gear fluid meeting Ford

Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Scheduled Maintenance
specification WSL-M2C192-A, part number
XY-75W140-QL, or equivalent. Add friction
modifier XL-3 (EST-M2C118-A) or
equivalent for complete refill of
Traction-Lok rear axles. See Capacities
and Specifications (page 411).
Additional Axle Maintenance for Dual
Rear Wheels
Change rear axle fluid every 250,000 miles
(400,000 kilometers) under normal driving
conditions on all commercial applications.
When operating your vehicle at or near
maximum gross vehicle weights, change
the rear axle fluid every 60,000 miles
(96,000 kilometers). In addition, follow
this 60,000 mile (96,000 kilometer)
schedule when operating your vehicle
under the special operating conditions
where noted.
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 3000 miles (5000
kilometers). If the available API SM or SN oils are not
available, then the oil change interval is
1800 miles (3000 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.
Diesel Particulate Filter
The filter may need to be removed for ash
cleaning at approximately 120000 miles
(192000 kilometers) or greater (actual
mileage can vary greatly depending upon
engine and vehicle operating conditions)
and replaced with a new or
remanufactured (ash cleaned) part. The
filter may need to be replaced at
approximately 250000 miles (400000
kilometers) depending upon engine and
vehicle operating conditions. In both cases,
the engine control system sets a service
light (wrench icon) to inform you to bring
your vehicle to the dealer for service. If
there are any issues with the oxidation
catalyst or particulate filter system, a
service light (wrench or engine icon) sets
by the engine control system to inform you
to bring your vehicle into a dealer for
service.
