Normal Axle and Power Take Off Maintenance
- Rear axles and power take off (PTO) units containing synthetic lubricant and light duty trucks equipped with Ford-design axles are lubricated for life. These lubricants are not to be changed unless service is required or the axle assembly has been submerged in water.
NOTE
- Varied driving habits, dust and road conditions may require more frequent replacement of wear components than the time/distance intervals shown in this publication.
- If you operate the vehicle "off road" in water that is deeper than the hubs (1/2 wheel height) or in extreme muddy conditions, then the affected components must be serviced daily.
- If you are using your Ford vehicle in a stationary manner while the engine is running for long periods (i.e. door-to-door delivery, taxi, police, power/utility, power take off (PTO) use), change your oil and filter every 5,000 km or every 200 engine hours. It will be necessary to approximate idle time on vehicles not equipped with hourmeters.
- The required maintenance services listed are subject to change without notice.
