Maintenance Schedule

[Connect]

Did a quick search but did not find what I was looking for. Is there a maintenance schedule that Ford publishes for the Maverick Hybrid? It seems based on what I have been reading is that it will tell you when the oil needs to be changed based on a oil life monitor I assume. My wife's Honda does that for basic things like the oil change. What I'm more curious about is if there is something saying at X miles the transmission should be serviced, at Y miles 123 should be done.

Hopefully this makes sense.

Look in the manual, either the printed one or the .pdf which is downloadable & searchable.

Some of the maintenance frequency varies significantly, depending on what you use the truck for, how you drive and how many miles a year you put on it. The oil life monitor takes into consideration a lot of this, like short trips vs long, etc. And depending on how you drive, the Hybrid's Internal Combustion Engine runs a helluva lot less than the ecoboost/turbo model. So oil changes are usually needed much less frequently in your truck than the ecoboost model. If you don't drive much, you should change oil at least once a year. IIRC, the monitor will remind you at least at 1 yr, and more frequently, if needed.

I see what you mean....maintenance frequency varies significantly... for transmission service it's 150,000 miles for 'normal' and 30,000 for everything else. Engine coolant every 200,000 miles.

I should receive my truck sometime the week of December 4th, but wanted to have an idea.

Think the basic oil change intervals are 7500 miles or 1 year whichever occurs first.

Have a 22 EB. Just got my 24 hybrid. Personally I will perform the first oil/filter change at around 3k miles, then go with 5k intervals or 1 yr. As for the CVT fluid, I will change that at about 40-60k and the coolant after a couple of years. The coolant also cools the battery pack. Note that due to regenerative braking, your brake pads will last multiple times longer than on an EB. I am just getting comfortable with my hybrid, I have 120 miles on it. My mpg is already up to 40+mpg and climbing and my DTE range increased from 330 miles when I took possession to 412 mi today.

I always change oil at 3000 miles, 6000 miles, 10000 miles. Then I do 5000 miles after that. Easy to remember every 5000 miles. I do the 3000 and 6000 because I have seen how much metal comes off the rings and cylinder walls on a new engine. Why have all those fine metal particles floating around in my engine when an oil change helps to get rid of them. I change the oil every 500 miles in my Model T's, but they do not have filters.

Schedule will be significantly different and much less frequent for OP. He has a hybrid on order and the ICE doesn't run nearly as much . The truck's oil monitor takes this (and many other things) into consideration when it tells you it's time for an oil change.

A petroleum engineer on his YT channel recommended changing Hybrid engine old far more frequently than Ford recommends....and you are correct the Manual says not much at all. I wrote him, a few months ago, when my Mav had 2300 miles on original oil, his recommendation was to change it now. I did. I am not as much of a detail dude as he was but will likely change it much more frequently than the 10,000 mile computer bot says.

Probably will do similar

Thanks, yeah I am leaning more towards more frequent than the monitor says... we will see how it goes

Me too, good luck!

It's all in the Owner's Manual. Or you can go with the internet wizards that stayed in a Holiday Inn Express who know more than Ford's Engineers.
