Fuel Delivery:
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
Recommended Fuel:
Unleaded gasoline, typically 87 octane, though higher octane may be recommended for Duratec/SHO engines.
NHTSA Frontal Impact Driver:
Good (for 2005-2007 models with side airbags, for 2000-2004 models vary based on year and specific equipment).
NHTSA Frontal Impact Passenger:
Good (for 2005-2007 models with side airbags, for 2000-2004 models vary based on year and specific equipment).
ABS:
Standard on most models, optional on some early base models.
Traction Control:
Available on some models, particularly those with the Duratec engine.
Airbags:
Frontal airbags standard. Optional side curtain airbags and side-impact airbags on later models (2005+ often).
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or 6 months, depending on driving conditions and oil type (check manual for specific recommendation).
Air Filter Replacement:
Recommended every 15,000 to 30,000 miles or as needed based on visual inspection.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Varies by engine: Vulcan V6 (e.g., 100,000 miles with platimum plugs), Duratec V6 (e.g., 100,000 miles with platimum plugs).
Transmission Fluid Change:
Intervals vary significantly; typically 50,000 to 100,000 miles for automatic transmissions, or based on severe service conditions. Manual transmission fluid change intervals are also specified.
Engine Oil Specification:
SAE 5W-20 or 5W-30 (check owner's manual for specific engine/year; consult manual for exact API service category).
Automatic Transmission Fluid:
Mercon V (for most 4-speed automatics like 4F50N), Mercon LV or equivalent may be specified for some later models. Consult manual for exact type.
Coolant Type:
Ford Premium Engine Coolant (Green) or equivalent ethylene glycol-based coolant.
Common Issues Vulcan Engine:
Intake manifold gasket leaks (plastic manifold), rear main seal leaks, intermittent no-start conditions due to faulty crankshaft position sensor.
Common Issues Duratec Engine:
Potential for coolant leaks from crossover pipes, occasional oil consumption, timing chain wear (less common but possible).
Common Issues Automatic Transmission:
Torque converter shudder or failure (especially 4F50N), transmission solenoid issues leading to shifting problems.
Common Issues Suspension:
Worn front control arm bushings, premature failure of struts/shocks.
Common Issues Electrical:
Window regulator failures, power lock actuator issues, dashboard warning lights for ABS/Traction Control, heater control panel failures.
