TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNING
When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign materials
present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub,
brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fasteners
that attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting
surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the
wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off
while the vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of control. lb.ft (Nm)

* Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and rust. Use only Ford
recommended replacement fasteners.
On vehicles equipped with single rear wheels, retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque
at 100 miles (160 kilometers) after any wheel disturbance (such as tire rotation, changing
a flat tire, wheel removal).
On vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels, retighten the wheel lug nuts to the specified
torque at 100 miles (160 kilometers), and again at 500 miles (800 kilometers) of new
vehicle operation and after any wheel disturbance (such as tire rotation, changing a flat
tire, wheel removal).
It is important to follow the proper wheel mounting and lug nut torque procedures.
On all two-piece flat wheel nuts, apply one drop of motor oil between the flat washer
and the nut. Do not apply motor oil to the wheel nut threads or the wheel stud threads. 419

When to Expect the Message Prompting You to Change Your Oil
Vehicle Use and Example
Miles (km)
Moderate to heavy load or towing.
Mountainous or off-road conditions.
Extended idling, 200-300 hours.
Extended hot or cold operation. Extreme
2,500–5,000 mi
(4,000–8,000 km) Maximum load or towing.
Extreme hot or cold operation.
Use of high sulfur diesel fuel.
Note: Use the appropriate special operating condition for maintenance information when
using high sulfur diesel fuels, operating your vehicle off-road or in dusty conditions, such as
unpaved roads.
Note: For every hour that your vehicle idles, it has accumulated the equivalent of
approximately 25 mi (40 km).
Normal Maintenance Intervals At Every Oil Change Interval as Indicated by the Information Display
1
Change the engine oil and filter. 2
Fuel and water separator. Drain if necessary or if indicated by the information display.
Refill the diesel exhaust fluid tank.
Rotate the tires 3
, inspect the tires for wear and measure tread depth.
Perform a multi-point inspection, recommended.
Inspect the air filter restriction gauge. Replace the filter if necessary.
Inspect the automatic transmission fluid level. Consult dealer for requirements.
Inspect the brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, brake linings, hoses and parking brake.
Inspect the engine and secondary cooling system coolant concentration freeze-point
protection, level and hoses.
Inspect the exhaust system and heat shields.

Sustained High-speed Driving at Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (Maximum Loaded Weight
for Vehicle Operation)
Inspect the engine and secondary cooling system coolant
concentration (freeze-point protection) and additive
(corrosion inhibitor) strength. Add coolant additive if
necessary.
Every 30,000 mi
(48,000 km) or 1200 engine
hours
Flush and refill the coolant. Do not add coolant additive.

Note: When adding coolant additive, do not exceed the specified maximum of 48 fluid
ounces (1.4 liters) for the engine and 16 fluid ounces (473 ml) for the secondary cooling
system. Operating the engine with excessive coolant additive may cause overheating which
could lead to severe, permanent engine damage.
