Maintenance ScheduleThe following intervals are based on the assumption that you will be doing the service work yourself, as opposed to paying to have the work done. These are our recommended minimum maintenance intervals for vehicles that are driven daily, and in many cases are shorter than the factory’s recommendations. Because frequent maintenance enhances the efficiency, performance and resale value of your Jeep, we encourage you to follow our schedule. If you drive in dusty areas, tow a trailer, idle or drive at low speeds for extended periods, or drive for short periods (less than four miles at a time) in below freezing temperatures, even smaller intervals are recommended.

When the vehicle is new, follow the maintenance schedule to the letter, record it in your owner’s manual and keep all receipts to protect the warranty and resale value. In many cases the initial maintenance check is done by the dealer at no cost (check with the service department when you buy the truck for more information).

** If operated under one or more of the following conditions, change the automatic transmission fluid every 15,000 miles.
The type of transmission fluid the 2006 Ford F-150 uses is Dexron/Mercon. The transmission fluid needs to be replaced every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Along with fluid changes, terrible sounds will come from the transmission. Old transmission fluid will be awful to the ear. A worn out torque converter will cause a headache. The transmission is one of the most crucial parts of the vehicle. You will come into issues at some point. Delayed shifts will cause acceleration issues. The transmission might slip. You could experience shudders. Hard shifts could arise and that is not good. There may be jerking. The gears might become stuck. If the transmission fluid leaks, that needs to be fixed quickly. accountCircle Mark J. April 9, 2020 Dexron iii/mercon accountCircle Andy November 13, 2020 Try Mercon V.
