CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL
AND OIL FILTER
WARNING: Do not handle a hot oil
filter with bare hands. WARNING:
Continuous contact
with used motor oil has caused cancer
in laboratory mice. Protect your skin by
washing with soap and water.
If your vehicle is equipped with a diesel
engine, an Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™
calculates the proper oil change service
interval. When the information display
indicates: OIL CHANGE REQUIRED, change
the engine oil and oil filter. See
Information Displays
(page 70).
The engine oil filter protects your engine
by filtering harmful, abrasive or sludge
particles and particles significantly smaller
than most available will-fit filters. See
Motorcraft Parts
(page 283).
1. Unscrew the oil filter and oil pan drain plug and wait for the oil to drain.
2. Replace the filter.

CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR
FILTER - 6.7L DIESEL
Air Filter Restriction Gauge WARNING:
To reduce the risk of
vehicle damage and personal burn
injuries, do not start your engine with the
air cleaner removed and do not remove
it while the engine is running. Note:
Operating your vehicle in heavy
snowfall or extreme rain conditions may
allow excessive amounts of snow or water
into the air intake system. This could plug
or soak the air filter and cause the engine to
lose power or shut down. The restriction gauge, on the upper housing
of the air filter assembly, measures the
vacuum inside the air filter. The more the
air filter is dirty or clogged, the higher the
vacuum reading.
Check the air filter restriction gauge
whenever you open the hood to perform
general engine maintenance or at least
every 7,500 mi (12,000 km). If you operate
your vehicle in extremely dusty conditions,
check and reset the gauge at least every
500 mi (800 km), or two weeks, whichever
comes first. Change the air filter when the
restriction gauge reads near the change
filter line and the gauge is yellow. If you
allow the restriction gauge to reach
maximum restriction, you can affect your
engine performance and fuel economy.
Note:
Do not blow out the air filter element
with compressed air since the compressed
air could damage the filter paper.
Note: Do not rely on filter appearance
alone. A filter which appears to be dirty may
have several thousand miles (kilometers)
of life remaining.
221
F650750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202010, Second-Printing MaintenanceE163372

After installation of the new filter element,
reset the gauge by pressing the reset
button on top of the gauge.
We recommend the following actions after
operating the vehicle up to 200 mi
(320 km) in heavy snowfall or extreme
rain:
• 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 foam filter and reset the
air filter restriction gauge.
• Extreme rain: The air filter dries after
about 15– 30 minutes at highway
speeds. At the earliest opportunity,
open the hood and reset the air filter
restriction gauge.
Air Filter Replacement
When replacing the air filter element, use
a Motorcraft® air filter element. See
Motorcraft Parts
(page 283).
Note: Failure to use the correct air filter
element may result in severe engine
damage. 1. Locate the mass airflow sensor
electrical connector on the air inlet
tube. Disconnect the electrical
connector. Unlock the locking clip on
the connector, then squeeze and pull
the connector off the air inlet tube. 222
