2008 Ford Crown Victoria Severe Duty Police/Fleet Supplement 2nd Printing - Page 5

Severe duty equipment 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. Lubricant Specifications Item Rear Axle Lubricant Ford part name Motorcraft SAE 75W-140 High Performance Synthetic Rear Axle Lubricant Ford part number XY-75W140-QL Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A ELECTRICAL 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. Alternator- Police and Long Wheelbase Taxi The high-output alternator provides 200 amperes of current to support the high power requirements of modern police equipment. Output at idle is approximately 130 amperes. Current demand by both the vehicle and all energized police equipment in excess of this amount during vehicle idling will place the electrical system into a discharge condition. Electrical power management systems should be applied if necessary to avoid discharging the battery. 5 2008 Crown Victoria (cro) Supplement USA (fus)
