What service next?

Around 5500 miles, my TL called for an A1 service. Around 11,000 miles is called for a B service. Now, I have about 15,500 miles and my maintenance indicator shows <20% on my oil life, but does not yet recommend a service.

What service comes next? I do my own maintenance so I wanted to know if I need a cabin micro-filter or any other special maintenance items.

I'm at work and my manual is at home (no RTFM).

TIA,

Don

The maintenance sub item 2 service is next, which is the engine air cleaner element, the cabin dust and pollen filter, and inspect the drive belt.

You probably won't get this until around 24,000 miles, give or take a few k. So your next service will probably be an A, or possibly an A1 if the MID thinks it's time to rotate the tires again.

Cool, I have a six-pack of oil filters and 7 quarts of Motorcraft 5W20, so I'm all set.

Thanks!
