Exceptions
There are several exceptions to the Normal Schedule:
Axle Maintenance
Change the axle fluid anytime an axle is submerged in water.
If you receive an axle overtemperature warning message in the instrument cluster display and a wrench warning indicator appears, you should change the rear axle fluid at the next convenient time. The wrench warning indicator turns off when you switch off your vehicle.
Timing Chain
If you use your vehicle extensively at a racetrack or at high rpm, it is possible to exceed the service life of the engine timing chain. A wrench indicator light will illuminate when it is time for you to replace your chain. See an authorized dealer.
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 (4,800 km).
If the available API SM or SN oils are not available, then the oil change interval is
1,800 mi (2,900 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.
