This factory service and repair manual for the 2018 Ford Police Interceptor Sedan covers the four-door sedan, offered in a single Base trim, with three DOHC V6 engines: a naturally aspirated 3.5L of 213 cubic inches on flex-fuel, a turbocharged 3.5L of the same size on gasoline, and a naturally aspirated 3.7L of 227 cubic inches, also on flex-fuel. Two of the three run on flex-fuel and one is turbocharged, so the fuel and induction differences are what the engine section has to keep straight, and the procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are arranged by engine accordingly.
