EXCEPTIONS

There are several exceptions to the Normal Schedule. They are listed

below:

Normal vehicle axle maintenance: Rear axles and power take-off

(PTO) units with synthetic fluid and light-duty trucks equipped with

Ford-design axles are lubricated for life; do not check or change fluid

unless a leak is suspected, service is required 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), non-synthetic rear axle fluids should

be changed every 3,000 miles (4,800 km) or three months, whichever

comes first. This interval can be waived if the axle is filled with 75W140

synthetic gear fluid meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A, part

number F1TZ-19580-B or equivalent. Add friction modifier XL-3

(EST-M2C118-A) or equivalent for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear

axles (refer to Maintenance product specifications and capacities in

the Maintenance and Specifications chapter for details).

Police/Taxi/Livery vehicle axle maintenance: Change rear axle fluid

every 100,000 miles (160,000 km). Rear axle fluid change may be waived

if the axle was filled with 75W140 synthetic gear fluid meeting Ford

specification WSL-M2C192-A, part number FITZ-19580-B or equivalent.

Add four ounces (118 mL) of additive friction modifier XL-3

(EST-M2C118-A) or equivalent for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear

axles. The axle fluid should be changed anytime the axle has been

submerged in water

California fuel filter replacement: If the vehicle is registered in

California, the California Air Resources Board has determined that the

failure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify the emission

warranty or limit recall liability prior to the completion of the 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.

Class A Motorhome: Change brake fluid every two years.

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 or SM or greater, the normal oil change

interval is 5,000 miles (8,000 km). If using an oil that is less than the API

SM (i.e. SL) category, then the oil change service interval is 3,000 mile

(4,800 km).
