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 3000 miles (5000 kilometers).
If the available API SM or SN oils are not available, then the oil change
interval is 1800 miles (3000 kilometers).

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.
