Going on the following from the '09 Escape which says the same all the way up to 150K.
48,000 Km (30,000 Mi)- Change engine oil and install a new oil filter.
- Perform multi-point inspection (recommended).
- Rotate tires, inspect tires for wear, measure tread depth and inspect wheel ends for end play and noise. Vehicles with dual rear wheels should only be rotated if unusual wear is noted. For vehicles with different front-to-rear tire pressures, the tire pressure must be adjusted and the tire pressure sensor training must be done.
- Install a new cabin air filter (if equipped).
- Install a new engine air filter (except Focus with PZEV engine).
- Install new climate controlled seat cushion filters (if equipped).
- Install a new fuel filter (not required for Fusion, Milan, MKZ, Edge, MKX, Taurus X, Taurus, Focus, Sable, E-Series, Expedition and Navigator with short wheelbase, F-150, Flex, MKS, Escape and Mariner).
- Inspect automatic transmission/transaxle fluid level using the fluid level on all other vehicles (if equipped with an underhood fluid level indicator).
- Inspect and lubricate control arms, steering linkage, steering ball joints, U-joints and driveshaft with zerk fittings (if equipped).
- Inspect halfshaft boots (if equipped).
- Inspect and lubricate 4WD front axle shaft U-joints (if equipped).
- Inspect brake pads, rotors, brake linings, drums, brake lines, hoses and parking brake system.
- Inspect engine cooling system and hoses.
- Inspect exhaust system and heat shields.
Yes, for a '05 it's at 30K. Funny, I think my '97 Ranger had a "lifetime" fuel filter on it too.
