FORD 2013 Fusion Hybrid v.1 - Manual (Page 433)

Fusion full hybrid vehicles are equipped
with an information display which indicates
the proper oil change service interval. The
interval may be up to one year or 10000
miles (16000 kilometers). When ENGINE
OIL CHANGE DUE or OIL CHANGE
REQUIRED appears in the information
display, it is time for an oil change; the oil
change must be done within two weeks or
500 miles (800 kilometers) of the ENGINE
OIL CHANGE DUE or OIL CHANGE
REQUIRED message appearing. The oil
monitoring system must be reset after
each oil change. See Engine Oil Check
(page 252).
If your information display is prematurely
reset, becomes inoperative or the vehicle
battery becomes discharged or
disconnected, the oil monitoring system
resets to 100% oil life. You should change
your engine oil one year or 10000 miles
(16000 kilometers) from the previous oil
change. Never exceed one year or 10000
miles (16000 kilometers) between oil
change intervals.
Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid vehicles
are equipped with the Intelligent Oil-Life
Monitor® (IOLM) system which displays a
message in the information display at the
proper oil change service interval. The
interval may be up to two years or 20000
miles (32000 kilometers). When ENGINE
OIL CHANGE DUE or OIL CHANGE
REQUIRED appears in the information
display, it is time for an oil change; the oil
change must be done within two weeks or
500 miles (800 kilometers) of the ENGINE
OIL CHANGE DUE or OIL CHANGE
REQUIRED message appearing. The
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor® must be reset
after each oil change. See Engine Oil
Check (page 252).
If your information display is prematurely
reset or becomes inoperative, you should
perform the oil change interval at six
months or 5000 miles (8000 kilometers)
from your last oil change. Never exceed
two years or 20000 miles (32000
kilometers) between oil change intervals.
Your vehicle is very sophisticated and built
with multiple, complex, performance
systems. Every manufacturer develops
these systems using different
specifications and performance features.
That is why it is important to rely upon your
dealership to properly diagnose and repair
your vehicle.
Ford Motor Company has recommended
maintenance intervals for various parts
and component systems based upon
engineering testing. Ford Motor Company
relies upon this testing to determine the
most appropriate mileage for replacement
of oils and fluids to protect your vehicle at
the lowest overall cost to you and
recommends against maintenance
schedules that deviate from the scheduled
maintenance information.
Ford strongly recommends the use of only
genuine Ford, Motorcraft® or
Ford-authorized re-manufactured
replacement parts because they are
engineered for your vehicle.
Additives and Chemicals
Recommended additives and chemicals
are listed in this owner's manual and in the
Ford Workshop Manual. Additional
chemicals or additives not approved by
Ford Motor Company are not
recommended as part of normal
