How does this chart look to you guys? If you have any suggestions please let me know.

This chart is based on little to no towing and 90/10 ratio of driving freeway/city.

If this is to set the intervals for service I'm not sure what you are basing the time and miles on other than driving types. Severe service should always be considered. Engine oil should be every 5K to 7K with synthetic oils. The fuel system cleaner isn't really needed until 75K unless you're in severe conditions. The differential service is never usually done before 100K unless you're in dirt/water/mud all the time then as needed. Tranny service intervals are OK. Radiators I do every 2 years max. regardless of mileage. Brake flush is OK. Have you pulled up the Ford recommended service intervals? They are pretty right on. Good luck

This is all based on 5k/25k intervals. I heard that Ford recommends to do your plugs every 60k so I rounded down to make it 50k. I also remember reading that Ford recommended 30k on the diffs so I rounded down to 25k. I haven't seen the 100k for the diffs anywhere so are they 100k every time? Do they need additives when going that long?

I also read that using a fuel cleaner on every oil change helps with the carbon build up on plugs and reduces the chances of breakage when removing them.

Also, do you know how much fluid it would take to do a power steering and brake flush?
