I have a little over 30K on the clock. Besides oil, what other fluid changes should be done? Thanks?

 

just curious.... did you check the owners manual???? it has this really cool section.... "Maintenance" I'm no expert..... but I bet there are some good recommendations there.

 

"SHOULD" be done? At 30,000 miles, I'd like to think you've been changing your oil so that would be based on when you last did it. Nothing else besides maybe your fuel filter "SHOULD" be changed under normal driving conditions.

The rest depends. As was said by stkjock, check the OM.

Oil changes are dependent on type of oil and driving style. But if you're beating the hell out of the car, you might want to do some other fluid changes based on the Maintenance Recommendations from Ford. But normally at this early stage of the game, nothing else.

 

Yeah I read that, but it's al the way downstairs, lol. I wasn't looking for a definative answer, but more of an opinion. Thanks.

 

If you drive your car hard, a tranny fluid change wouldn't hurt.

 

I Like 5k on the motor oil using the 5w20w Motorcraft blend with the FL820 Motorcraft filter. At 30k I would also change the fuel filter FG1083 I think is the part number.

 

Yea, I have heard that these cars are very sensitive to a dirty fuel filter. Usually around 25K, or with the wrong fuels, they start acting up.
