California Proposition 65 Warning
WARNING:Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and
certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to

Your new diesel engine will feel, drive and function somewhat differently
than a gasoline engine. Therefore it is very important that you read and
thoroughly familiarize yourself and others operating the vehicle with this
guide.A special procedure for turning off the diesel engine is in
theDrivingchapter. It is important to read and understand this
material in order to maintain the best service life for your
engine.
This guide will acquaint you with the 6.0L/6.4L Power Stroke diesel
engine. It provides recommendations on engine care and operating
procedures. For complete vehicle information, also refer to theOwner’s
Guideincluded with the vehicle. It also describes equipment and gives
specifications for equipment that was in effect when this guide was
approved for printing, and should be considered a permanent part of the
vehicle.
Some aftermarket products may cause severe engine/transmission
and/or exhaust system damage; refer to theWhat is not covered
section inThe new vehicle limited warranty for your vehicle
chapter of your vehicle’sWarranty Guidefor more information.
Your vehicle’s Powertrain Control Systems can detect and store
information about vehicle modifications that increase horsepower
and torque output such as whether or not performance-enhancing
powertrain components commonly referred to as “performance
chips” have been used. This information cannot be erased and
will stay in the system’s memory even if the modification is
removed. The Information can be retrieved by Ford Motor
Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities when
servicing your vehicle. This information may be used to determine
if repairs will be covered by warranty.
Ford may discontinue models or change specifications without any notice
and without incurring obligations.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
The scheduled maintenance services in thescheduled maintenance
informationof this supplement are required because they are
considered essential to the life and performance of your vehicle.
Use only recommended fuel, lubricants, fluids and service parts
conforming to Ford specifications. Motorcraft parts are designed and
built for best performance in your vehicle.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS - CHOOSING THE RIGHT FUEL: VEHICLES
OPERATED WHERE ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL IS
REQUIRED (UNITED STATES/CANADA/PUERTO RICO/U.S. VIRGIN
ISLANDS AND OTHER LOCALES)
Use only Ultra Low Sulfur (15 ppm Sulfur Maximum) number 1-D
or 2-D diesel fuel in your 6.0L or 6.4L diesel engine.The engine
and exhaust system were designed to only use this fuel. Look for the
ULTRA-LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL (15 ppm Sulfur
Maximum)label on fuel pumps when purchasing your fuel.
Using low sulfur diesel fuel (16-500 ppm) or high sulfur diesel
fuel (greater than 500 ppm) in a 6.4L diesel engine designed to
use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel will cause certain emission
components to malfunction which may also cause the Check
Engine(
)light to illuminate indicating an emissions-related
concern.
Number 1-D or winter blend number 2-D fuel is recommended at
temperatures below 20°F (-7°C) (seeCold weather operationin the
Drivingchapter of this supplement). Diesel fuel containing no more

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.
Multi-point inspection - recommended at every visit
❑Check and top up fluid levels:❑brake
❑coolant recovery reservoir
❑fuel coolant recovery reservoir (F-Super Duty only)
❑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 only)
❑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.
