i have 2011 EL and I wanted to do some maintenance. I went to a dealer and got 10 quarts of motorcraft tranny fluid and filter and will do tranny drain and fill (sorry not big on flushes). I asked dealer about fuel filter and he said it is maintenance free and does not need to be replaced???? I asked for cabin filter and he said it does not have one?? So what should I replace?? I do full synthetic oil change every two weeks with filter.

Besides oil and air filters are there any other replacable filters??

Btw I put 10000 miles a month so its more about mileage replacement than age.

thank you

The fuel filter is part of the pump, sorry . I would consider the trans flush as it also soes the tq convertor. I would ask them to not use any aftermarket chems with it though[waste of money]. these trannies are rated to go 100k miles before service but at your rate that is every year.

I would change coolant regularyly along with the differential fluids and brake and power steering fluids.

Also the serpentine belt.

The coolant is due around 100k also along with the tranny, and diffs. at your rate of usage with highway miles mostly that is plenty often.
