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 above
45 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 (240,000 km) service interval can continue if the rear axle is filled with 75W140 synthetic gear fluid meeting Ford 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.
Additional Axle Maintenance for Dual Rear Wheels
Change the rear axle fluid every
250,000 mi (400,000 km) under normal driving conditions on all commercial applications. When you operate your vehicle at or near maximum gross vehicle weights, change the rear axle fluid every
60,000 mi (96,000 km). In addition, follow this
60,000 mi (96,000 km) schedule when you operate 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
3,000 mi (5,000 km).
If the available API SM or SN oils are not available, then the oil change interval is
2,000 mi (3,000 km).
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
Over time, a slight amount of ash builds up in the diesel particulate filter, which is not removed during the regeneration process. The filter may need to be replaced with a new or remanufactured part at approximately
250,000 mi (400,000 km). Actual mileage varies depending on engine and vehicle operating conditions.
In this case, the engine control system illuminates 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, the engine control system illuminates a service light, wrench or engine icon to inform you to bring your vehicle into a dealer for service.
