automatic transmission fluid FORD SUPER DUTY 2009 2.G Diesel Supplement Manual

The following cold weather idling guidelines must be followed:
•Avoid idling the engine for more than 10 minutes at a time.
•Use Motorcraft Cetane improvers or non alcohol-based Cetane
improvers from a reputable manufacturer.
•Maintain the engine cooling system properly.
•Do not shut the engine down after an extensive idling period
(10 minutes or more). Drive the vehicle for several miles with the
engine at normal operating temperatures under a moderate load to
burn off any accumulated carbon and varnish.
•Consider using an engine block heater.
•For extended idle times use an approved idle speed increase device.
Winter operating tips for Arctic operation -20°F (-29°C) and below
The following information is provided as a guideline only, and is not
intended to be the only source of possible solutions in resolving extreme
cold temperature issues.
Starting aids:
The use of the factory engine block heater (refer toEngine block heater
[if equipped]in theDrivingchapter of theOwner’s Guide) and oil pan
heaters (aftermarket) will assist in engine starting, in extreme cold
ambient temperatures.
WARNING:Do not use starting fluid, such as ether, in the air
intake system (see air filter decal). Such fluid could cause
immediate explosive damage to the engine and possible personal injury.
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

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.
Multi-point inspection - recommended at every visit
❑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.
❑Check windshield for cracks, chips and pitting.
❑Inspect for oil and fluid leaks.
❑Inspect air filter.
❑Check shocks and struts and other suspension components for leaks and damage.
