IF the oil change was due, I would change it whenever that mileage came up.

The good news here for the 6.2L is no traditional fuel filter to change. The fuel filter is part of the fuel pump assembly and inside the tank.

The spark plugs should be changed at 97,500. Besides that...most changes will be fluids. If not changing them, at least checking fill levels.

Mods...hmmm...not many IMHO. Good luck with it!

Don't forget...these 6.2L engines run with 2 plugs per cylinder. Also...YES...Motorcraft everything makes sense to me.
