Example: When the odometer has accumulated 3,000 miles (4,828 km)
and the idle meter shows 61 hours, a 5,000 mile (8047 km) oil change
interval will have been reached: 3,000 road miles + (61 idle hours x 33
miles/idle hour) = 5,013 miles. In metric units this calculation would be
4,828 kilometers + (61 idle hours x 53 km/idle hour) = 8,061 km.
REAR AXLE
Axle Break-in – Police and Middle Eastern countries only
Rear axles in vehicles destined for use by police or in Middle Eastern
countries are equipped with a synthetic lubricant. Do not drive over
100 mph (160 km/h) for the first 1,000 miles (1,800 km) to allow axle
components to wear in. Additionally, only synthetic lubricant as specified
below should be used when maintenance is performed on the rear axle.

Battery — Police
The Motorcraft maintenance-free battery normally does not require
additional water during its life. However, for severe service usage or in
high temperature climates, the electrolyte level should be checked at
least every five months or 5,000 miles (8,000 km). If the electrolyte level
is below the level indicator in any cell, add enough pure water to bring
the level up to the indicator. Never add electrolyte (’battery acid”) to the
battery as this could shorten battery life.
