General maintenance information Maximum oil change interval Normal Schedule: 8,000 km (5,000 miles) or six months, whichever occurs first. Severe Duty Schedule: 5,000 km (3,000 miles) or three months, whichever occurs first. See appropriate Schedule. GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION The required scheduled maintenance services listed in this guide are considered essential to the proper operation, safety and performance of your Ford Motor Company vehicle.
General maintenance information WHEEL LUG NUTS Wheel lug nuts must be tightened to proper torque specifications at 800 km/500 miles of new vehicle operation (160 km/100 miles for vehicles equipped for snow plowing). Proper torque specifications are provided in your “Owner’s Guide.” Also retighten to proper torque specification at 800 km/500 miles after (1) any wheel change or (2) any other time the wheel lug nuts have been loosened.
General maintenance information an interval equivalent to 200 engine hours of use. Since most vehicles are not equipped with hourmeters, it may be necessary for you to approximate your idle time and plan oil/filter changes accordingly.
