Maintenance Schedule -- E-Series Ford Cutaway E350 Super Duty

Schedule ~9482 words

Maintenance Schedules - Gasoline Engines

The maintenance schedule is designed to protect against major repairs resulting from neglect or inadequate maintenance and to prolong the life of the vehicle.

General Maintenance Information

Note. This is a generic maintenance schedule for all Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. There may be items listed that do not apply to all vehicles.

The Normal Schedule applies to operation of the vehicle under typical, everyday driving conditions. The maintenance frequency in this schedule typifies what the vast majority of vehicles will require. The listed services should be carried out at specified mileage, time or hours of operation, whichever occurs first. There are, however, additional services that only the noted vehicles require.

If the vehicle is operated in one or more of the following special operating conditions, those additional services will be required. The special operating conditions are

  1. Towing a trailer or using a camper or car-top carrier.
  2. Extensive idling and/or low-speed driving for long distances as in heavy commercial use such as delivery, taxi, patrol car or livery.
  3. Driving in dusty conditions such as unpaved or dusty roads.
  4. Off-road operation.
  5. Use of E85 fuel 50% of the time or greater (flex fuel vehicles only).

There are also exceptions to the Normal Schedule which will require more frequent maintenance for some components. Those exceptions are

  1. Vehicle axle - maintenance and lubrication.
  2. Police and taxi vehicles - maintenance and lubrication.
  3. Engine oil and Motorcraft® Coolant - time-based and mileage-based intervals.
  4. Change brake fluid every 2 years (Class A Motorhome).
  5. Check the rear spring U-bolt nuts for correct torque every 24,000 km (15,000 mi) (Transit Connect).
  6. Change spark plugs every 72,000 km (45,000 mi) (Mustang Shelby GT500).
  7. Change engine oil and filter every 8,000 km (5,000 mi) (F-150 Raptor).
  8. Tire rotation every 8,000 km (5,000 mi) (F-150 Raptor).

Engine Idle Hour Meter - Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, Taxi and Executive Series Town Car Equipped with Engine Idle Hour Meter

The vehicle may be equipped with an engine idle hour meter to indicate how much time the vehicle is idling in PARK or NEUTRAL. The engine idle hour meter is incorporated with the vehicle odometer. Depressing the odometer reset button once will display the trip odometer (miles followed by a T for trip odometer). Depressing the odometer reset button a second time will display the engine idle hour meter (hours followed by an H for hours). The engine idle hour meter will only accumulate time when the vehicle is in PARK or NEUTRAL. Displayed time is cumulative for the vehicle and the engine idle hour meter cannot be reset to zero . Emergency vehicles, such as police/fire and fleet vehicles, often experience long periods of idling, during which time the engine oil will continue to break down but mileage is not accumulated on the odometer.

To assist fleet managers in maintaining proper oil change intervals, the engine idle hour meter will help determine when an oil change is required. For every hour that the vehicle idles, it has accumulated the equivalent of approximately 53 km (33 mi) of driving. Using the combination of the vehicle odometer and the engine idle hour meter allows the fleet manager to better determine when the oil needs to be changed.

Engine idle hour meter calculation

  1. Idle hours x 33 = miles equivalency
  2. Miles driven + miles equivalency = oil change interval

Example: In metric units, this calculation would be 4,828 km + 3,233 (61 idle hours x 53 km/idle hour) = 8,061 km. When the odometer has accumulated 3,000 miles + 2,013 (61 hours x 33 miles/idle hour) = 5,013 miles, the oil change interval will have been reached.

Normal Vehicle Axle Maintenance

Rear axles and transfer case/Power Transfer Unit (PTU) containing synthetic lubricant and light duty trucks equipped with Ford-design axles are lubricated for life. These lubricants are not to be checked or changed unless service is required, or if a leak is suspected or the axle assembly has been submerged in water.

The axle and transfer case/ PTU fluid should be changed anytime they have been submerged in water. Non-synthetic rear axle lubricants should be installed new every 4,800 km (3,000 mi) or 3 months, whichever occurs first, during extended trailer tow operation above 21°C (70°F) ambient and Wide Open Throttle (WOT) for extended periods above 72 km/h (45 mph).

The 4,800 km (3,000 mi) lube change interval may be waived if the axle was filled with 75W-140 synthetic gear lubricant. Add 118 ml (4 oz) of additive friction modifier for complete refill of Traction-Lok® rear axles.

The axle lubricant should be changed anytime an axle has been submerged in water.

Police and Taxi Vehicle Axle Maintenance

Install new rear axle lubricant every 160,000 km (100,000 mi). Rear axle lubricant change may be waived if the axle was filled with 75W-140 synthetic gear lubricant. Add 118 ml (4 oz) of additive friction modifier for complete refill of Traction-Lok® rear axles.

The axle lubricant should be changed anytime an 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.

F-150 Raptor (See MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE - SVT RAPTOR)

Note. This schedule includes specific maintenance interval information for 6.0L diesel engine.

The Normal Schedule applies to operation of the vehicle under typical, everyday driving conditions. The maintenance frequency in this schedule typifies what the vast majority of vehicles will require. The listed services should be carried out at specified mileage, time or hours of operation, whichever occurs first. There are, however, additional services that only the noted vehicles require.

If the vehicle is to be used as a tow truck, the vehicle should not be used to tow for the first 1,600 km (1,000 mi). For the first 800 km (500 mi) that the truck is used for towing, the vehicle should not exceed 112 km/h (70 mph) and there should be no full-throttle starts.

If the vehicle is operated in one or more of the following Special Operating Conditions, those additional services will be required. The Special Operating Conditions are

  1. towing or carrying heavy loads.
  2. extensive idling and/or driving at low speeds for long distances.
  3. driving in dusty conditions.
  4. off-road operation.
  5. short trip, cold operating conditions.

There are also exceptions to the Normal Operating Schedule which will require more frequent maintenance for some components. Those exceptions are

  1. normal vehicle axle - maintenance and lubrication.
  2. engine oil and coolant - time and mileage-based interval.

Motorcraft® Engine Coolant

  1. Change coolant at 5 years or 168,000 km (105,000 mi) of the vehicle life, whichever comes first.
  2. After the initial change, change coolant every 3 years or 72,000 km (45,000 mi) thereafter.

Rear axles, transfer case and Power Take-Off (PTO) containing synthetic lubricant and light duty trucks equipped with Ford-design axles are lubricated for life. These lubricants are not to be checked or changed unless service is required, a leak is suspected or the axle assembly has been submerged in water.

The rear axle, transfer case and PTO fluid should be changed anytime it has been submerged in water. Non-synthetic rear axle lubricants should be changed every 4,800 km (3,000 mi) or 3 months (whichever occurs first) during extended trailer tow operation above 21°C (70°F) ambient and Wide Open Throttle (WOT) for extended periods above 72 km/h (45 mph).

The 5,000 km (3,000 mi) lubricant change interval may be waived if the axle was filled with 75W-140 synthetic gear lube meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A or equivalent. Add 118 ml (4 fl oz) of additive friction modifier C8AZ-19B546-A or equivalent for a complete refill of the Traction-Lok® rear axles.

The axle lubricant should be changed anytime an axle has been submerged in water.
