Also add a bottle of Lubeguard. Heard its pretty good stuff.
You can't listen to the owners manual.
I did and I am on my third tranny.
You've got to change the oil every 12,000 - 15,000 miles.

Almost 70k on mine. I change the fluid often because it is so hot here and I drive in a lot of traffic from time to time. Been using Mercon V fluid, shifts a bit smoother since then. Don't know how much longer Tour #2 would have gone. My wife traded it for a Mazda Tribute when it had 50k on it.

With my zetec that vibrates so much at stoplights I shift it in to neutral at just about every stop. Is this hard on the tranny or is it good?

It isn't bad. Most Zetecs have a fairly rough idle and no probs with the trans.
