338
F650750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 201708, First Printing Scheduled Maintenance
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 24,000 mi
(38,000 km) or three months, whichever
comes first.
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
The normal oil change interval is 3,000 mi
(5,000 km) for gasoline vehicles operating
in the Middle East, North Africa,
Sub-Saharan Africa or locations with
similar climates using American Petroleum
Institute (API) oils Certified for Gasoline
Engines and displaying the API Certification
Mark. If API Certified Oils are not available,
then it is acceptable to use API SM or SN
oils. If API oils are not available, then the
oil change interval is 1,750 mi (3,000 km). 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 and
cabin air filter.
Diesel Particulate Filter
The filter may need to be removed for ash
cleaning at approximately
120,000 mi
(192,000 km) or greater (actual mileage
can vary greatly depending upon engine
and vehicle operating conditions) and
replaced with a new or re-manufactured
(ash cleaned) part. The filter may need to
be replaced at approximately 250,000 mi
(400,000 km) 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.
