Maintenance Schedule

Have you looked at the Maintenance Schedule: https://owner.ford.com/tools/account/maintenance/maintenance-schedule.html
What is this?

Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor™
Your vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor that determines when you should change the engine oil based on how your vehicle is used. By using several important factors in its calculations, the monitor helps reduce the cost of owning your vehicle and reduces environmental waste at the same time. Do not exceed one year or 10,000 miles.

And what about this service at 150k?

You may find the schedule in the owners manual to be more specialized to your vehicle instead of the more generic one. Though really, I think the only issue on the generic one is that the Oil-Life footer shows up for all vehicles instead of just certain ones. The larger motor on the Mach-E does have oil in it, though I guess there's no set schedule for replacing it.

Here you will see confirmation that transmission fluid should be exchanged at 150,000 miles or 10 years. Yes, your Mach-E has a transmission, albeit a relatively simple one.

So as far as I understand, the first item is just a garbage they posted because somebody designing the web page is incompetent. And the second one is just a gear oil, because the car just has a few gears and no transmission in the usual sense of that word, though they do call it one speed transmission.

I am looking for when to change brake fluid. Someone said every 3 yrs. Is it less than that for EV's?

The MachE owners manual says brake fluid flush every 3 years.

Yes, it has a “transmission“ not of the normal variety. Since the unit includes input from the vehicle primary motive unit, final drive, and differential components, it’s really a transaxle regardless of the fact that it only has one gear.
