Air filter
Ford specifies 25,000 mile intervals. Check more frequently if operating in dusty conditions. Blocked air filter reduces fuel economy and increases DPF loading on diesel variants.

Fuel filter
Critical for diesel fuel system protection. Water separator should be drained at each service. Blocked fuel filter causes power loss and can damage injection system components.

Brake fluid
Ford specifies 2-year replacement regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, reducing boiling point and causing internal corrosion of brake components.
