transmission oil FORD SUPER DUTY 2010 2.G Diesel Supplement Manual

Important notice
Ford vehicles are suitable for producing ambulances only if equipped
with the Ford ambulance preparation package. In addition, Ford urges
ambulance manufacturers to follow the recommendation of theFord
Incomplete Vehicle Manual, Ford Truck Body Builder’s Layout Book
(and pertinent supplements) and theQualified Vehicle Modifiers
Guidelines.Using a Ford vehicle without the Ford ambulance
preparation package to produce an ambulance voids the Ford warranty
and could result in elevated underbody temperatures, fuel
overpressurization and the risk of fuel expulsion and fires. To determine
whether the vehicle is equipped with the Ford ambulance preparation
package, inspect the information plate on the driver’s side door pillar.
Contact the manufacturer of your vehicle to determine whether the
ambulance manufacturer’s followed Ford’s recommendations.
WARNINGS
Throughout this guide, you will find warnings identified by the
symbol
. Warnings remind you to be especially careful to reduce the
risk of personal injury.
NEW VEHICLE BREAK-IN
Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive
continuously at the same speed for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of
new vehicle operation. Vary your speed to allow parts to adjust
themselves to other parts.
Drive your new vehicle at least 500 miles (800 km) before towing a
trailer. Make sure you use the specified engine oil by checking the engine
oil specification chart underEngine oilin theMaintenance and
Specificationschapter.
Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils during
the first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation, since these
additives may prevent piston ring seating. SeeEngine oilin the
Maintenance and Specificationschapter of this supplement for more
information on oil usage.
DIESEL ENGINE INFORMATION
The Diesel engine fuel system consists of:
•On E-Series vehicles (6.0L engine),a Diesel Fuel Conditioner
Module (DFCM) mounted on the driver-side frame rail next to the
transmission

STARTING THE ENGINE
Read all starting instructions carefully before you start your vehicle.
For temperatures below 32°F (0°C), the use of the correct grade engine
oil is essential for proper operation. Refer toEngine oil specifications
in theMaintenance and Specificationschapter for more information.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a cold weather starting strategy that
prevents severe engine damage by assisting in engine lubrication
warm-up. In extremely cold ambient temperatures, this strategy activates
and prevents the accelerator pedal from being used for 30 seconds after
starting the vehicle. By not allowing the accelerator pedal to be used, the
engine oil is allowed to properly lubricate the bearings preventing engine
damage due to lack of proper lubrication. After the 30 second warm-up
period, the accelerator pedal will be operational again as long as the
pedal is not being pressed when the 30 second time limit expires. When
starting the engine in extremely cold temperatures (-15°F [–26°C]), it is
recommended to allow the engine to idle for several minutes before
driving the vehicle.
If your vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission,make sure
the parking brake is fully set before you turn the key. Depress the clutch
pedal and place the gearshift in the neutral position. The clutch must be
fully depressed in order to operate the starter. Do not press the
accelerator during starting.
If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission,ensure
the gearshift lever is in P (Park) and the parking brake is fully set before
you turn the key. Do not press the accelerator during starting.
Engine-driven cooling fan (fan clutch)
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine driven cooling fan drive (also
called a fan clutch). This fan drive changes the fan speed to match the
vehicle’s changing cooling air flow requirements. Fan speed, fan noise
level and fuel consumption all will increase based on the driving
conditions that include trailer towing, hill climbing, heavy loads, high
speed and high ambient temperature, individually or in combination. The
fan drive is designed to provide the minimum fan speed (and resulting
fan noise and fuel consumption) required to meet the ever changing
vehicle cooling air flow requirements. You will hear the amount of fan
noise increasing and decreasing as the engine power requirements and
vehicle driving conditions change as you drive. This is to be expected as
being normal to the operation of your vehicle. High levels of fan noise
might also be heard when your engine is first started, and should
normally decrease after driving for a short time.

Idle control:
For periods of extended idle, the throttle should be set at an rpm that is
sufficient to keep the engine at normal operating temperatures. This
action can reduce the amount of engine damaging deposits.
•The engine contains a unique “Cold Weather - Idle up feature”
calibration strategy within the PCM. Under the appropriate conditions,
the strategy will automatically elevate the engine idle speed after
130 seconds of idling in cold ambient temperatures. For this feature to
be activated, the truck must be in P (Park) (for automatic
transmission), in neutral (for manual transmission) with the parking
brake applied and engine oil temperature below 158°F (70°C). This
strategy raises the rpm to a level that reduces the potential to
produce “coking” or “wet stacking”, which is common to all diesel
engines when idling for extended periods during cold ambient
temperatures.
•Your vehicle may have a factory option for a Stationary Elevated Idle
Control (SEIC) through dash-mounted Upfitter switches will allow the
operator to elevate the idle rpm for extended idle periods, as well as
aftermarket equipment such as PTO operation. This feature must be
configured even if ordered from the factory. See your authorized
dealer for required upfitting.
Operation in snow
Vehicle operation in heavy snowfall or extreme rain conditions may feed
excessive amounts of snow/water into the air intake system. This could
plug/soak the air filter with snow and may cause the engine to lose
power and possibly shut down.
You may not need to change the air filter and the vehicle may be driven
up to 200 miles (320 km) under the following conditions:
•Snow:At the earliest opportunity, open the hood and clear all the
snow and ice from the air filter housing inlet (do NOT remove the air
filter) and reset the air filter restriction gauge.
•Wet:The air filter will dry after about 15–30 minutes at highway
speeds. At the earliest opportunity, open the hood and reset the air
filter restriction gauge.
Refer toAir filter and restriction gaugein theMaintenance and
Specificationschapter of this supplement for more information.

Multi-point Inspection
In order to keep your vehicle running right, it is important that you have
the systems on your vehicle checked regularly. This can help identify any
potential issue before there are any problems. Ford Motor Company
suggests the following multi-point inspection to be performed at every
scheduled maintenance interval as the way to ensure your vehicle keeps
running right.
Retightening lug nuts
❑On vehicles equipped with single rear wheels, retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque at 500 miles (800 km) after
any wheel disturbance (tire rotation, changing a flat tire, wheel removal, etc.).
❑On vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels, retighten the wheel lug nuts to the specified torque at 100 miles (160 km),
and again at 500 miles (800 km) of new vehicle operation and after any wheel disturbance (tire rotation, changing a flat
tire, wheel removal, etc.).
❑Refer toWheel Lug Nut Torque Specificationin yourOwner’s Guidefor the proper lug nut torque specification.

❑Check and top up fluid levels:❑brake❑coolant recovery reservoir❑fuel coolant recovery reservoir (F-Super Duty)❑manual and automatic transmission❑power steering❑window washer❑Inspect tires for wear and check air pressure, including spare.
❑Check exhaust system for leaks, damage, loose parts and foreign materials.
❑Check that holes in the tail-pipe of the exhaust system are clear of debris; the holes/slots are functional (F-Super Duty)
❑Check battery performance.
❑Check operation of horn, exterior lamps, turn signals and hazard warning lights.
❑Check radiator, coolers and heater and air conditioning hoses.
❑Inspect windshield washer spray and wiper operation.
