oil type FORD F150 2016 13.G Quick Reference Guide

EASY FUEL® SYSTEM
The Easy Fuel system is self-sealing and therefore protected against dust,
dirt, water, snow and ice. Open the fuel filler door, insert the nozzle and start
fueling. Wait at least 10 seconds after pumping the fuel before removing the
fuel filler nozzle. This allows the residual fuel to drain into the tank.
To refuel using a portable fuel container, use the fuel funnel. The fuel funnel
location can vary, depending on your vehicle:
• In SuperCab and SuperCrew® vehicles: Attached under the rear seat on
the passenger side, near the spare tire tool box.
• In Regular cab vehicles: Attached behind the passenger seat. For easier
access, move the passenger seat forward.
Slowly insert the funnel into the Easy Fuel system and fill the tank with fuel
from the container. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. You
can purchase extra funnels from your authorized dealer.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they do not work with the Easy Fuel
system and may cause damage.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY AND FUEL TYPE
Depending on your vehicle, your fuel tank has a capacity of either 23 gallons
(87.1L) or 36 gallons (136.2L).
If your vehicle has a yellow ring around the fuel inlet, you have a flex fuel
vehicle and can use either regular unleaded fuel, E85 ethanol fuel or any
mixture of the two. TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Your vehicle comes with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that
displays a low tire pressure warning light
when one or more of your tires
are significantly under-inflated. If this happens, stop and check your tires as
soon as possible. Inflate them to the proper pressure.
Refer to the Wheels and Tires chapter in your Owner’s Manual for
more information.
LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
Your vehicle comes with a full-size spare tire located under the vehicle, just
forward of the rear bumper. Use it for emergency use only, and be sure to
replace it as soon as possible.
The jack and tools location can vary, depending on your vehicle:
• In SuperCab and SuperCrew® models: Attached behind the rear seat on
the passenger side.
• In Regular cab models: Attached to the floor behind the passenger seat—
for easier access, move the passenger seat forward.
For complete details on how to change your tire, refer to the Wheels and Tires
chapter in your Owner’s Manual. TOWING YOUR F-150 ON FOUR WHEELS
In an emergency situation, you can flat-tow (tow your vehicle on four wheels)
under the following conditions:
•
Your vehicle is facing forward for towing in a forward direction.
• You place the transmission in neutral (N).
• You do not exceed a maximum speed of 35 mph (56 km/h).
• You do not travel beyond a maximum distance of
50 miles (80 kilometers).
Note: For other towing features including neutral tow and recreational
towing, see your Owner’s Manual for details.
ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
Your new Ford F-150 comes with the assurance and support of 24-hour
emergency roadside assistance. To receive roadside assistance in the United
States, call 1-800-241-3673. In Canada, call 1-800-665-2006.
Essential Information
Use only UNLEADED fuel with a minimum octane rating of 87. Do not use
fuel containing more than 15% ethanol, E85 fuel, diesel fuel, fuel-methanol,
leaded fuel or any other fuel because it could damage or impair the emission
control system.
Some tips to keep in mind with an E85 vehicle:
• It is best not to alternate repeatedly between gasoline and E85. If you do
switch fuels, it is recommended that you add as much fuel as possible, at
least half a tank.
• Do not add less than 5 gallons (18.9L) when refueling.
• You should drive the vehicle immediately after refueling for at least
5 miles (8 km) to allow the vehicle to adapt to the change in ethanol
concentration.
• If you exclusively use E85 fuel, we recommend to fill the fuel tank with
regular unleaded gasoline at each scheduled oil change.
To provide improved performance, we recommend premium fuel for severe
duty usage, such as when towing a trailer.
