Quick reference guide on my logbook - suggestions that I missed?

[inline_five]

I'm putting together a maintenance logbook for my Mav but am making a page for quick reference stuff. Any thing I left out that should be on there?

Compatible battery types - in case somewhere you really need a battery right now! but they don't have exact OEM group/DIN.

Group 99R or DIN T4 FLA.
Group 104R or DIN H4 AGM.

I have a few places noted that carry a brand I'd like to stay in for quality and warranty period. (if it's bad and you want to use warranty you are stuck there without paying full price again).

ETA:
Transmission level & fill plug torque - 26 ft lbs
Room temp check.

Nice. Will you put one together for my EcoBoost?

I'm not a battery guy, you're saying those two sizes will fit?

None of those appear on this chart:

Ha I can give you the Word document and you can edit/adjust as needed!

I hadn’t noticed DOT 4 brake fluid on the Maverick.

Oh my - need a new chart since the manual references the 99R T4 - since that's what is in it.

This one is better.

Also some product in the alt size. Considering the truck system is tagged for an AGM battery, the H4 would likely have been it.

24MY manual, earlier may be the same. Wish they sold those in tiny bottles since rarely is a whole flush going on.

BRAKE FLUID SPECIFICATION

Use fluid that meets the defined specification and viscosity grade.
If you do not use fluid that meets the defined specification and viscosity grade, it could result in:

• Component damage that your vehicle warranty does not cover.
• Reduced brake performance.

Note: We recommend you use Dot 4 Low Viscosity (LV) High Performance Brake Fluid meeting WSS-M6C65-A2 specifications or ISO 4925 Class 6 standards. If you use any fluid other than the recommended fluid, it could cause reduced brake performance and not meet our performance standards. Keep brake fluid clean and dry. Contamination with dirt, water, petroleum products or other materials could result in brake system damage and possible failure.

Tire rotations?

 

[MetalsGeek]

The tire rotation pattern often varies with who does it, so consistency would be a help.
I like having part numbers for different brands on ubiquitous things like filters & wiper blades.

Good point - super annoying to be trying to find the correct 2 sizes for wipers when you want another option, like winter version perhaps.
22 & 20" perhaps?
Haven't looked yet - hope it takes one of the standard adapters found in most blade packs.

Windshield wiper blade.​

Looks like it uses the pinch connector, I updated that

Everything I've read on Motorcraft is their quality is good, and it's readily available for good prices. So I'm personally sticking with it for things like filters, oil, coolant, brake fluid etc.

Tire rotations?

I'm doing it once a year with my oil change. See right column second one down. This is per Ford's manual pg 440. I only drive 3000-4000 miles a year so it works well. Good thought though, I will include the rotation pattern on the sheet.
