service inTervaLs
It is important to maintain your vehicle to keep it running
in peak condition. Engine oil and filter changes along
with fuel filter (two fuel filters on diesel vehicles) and
engine coolant inspection/replacement are common
maintenance items that can be done to prolong the life of
your engine. If you drive your vehicle in severe situations,
more frequent service will be required on some items.
Please refer to the scheduled maintenance information
chapter of your diesel Supplement if your vehicle is
equipped with a diesel engine or the separate Scheduled
Maintenance Guide if your vehicle is equipped with a
gasoline engine.
coLd wea
Ther sTarTing
To ensure optimum cold weather starting performance,
and improve cabin heating, the 120 volt engine block
heater should be used during any cold weather operation.
The engine block heater is required when the vehicle is to
be started at temperatures below -10°F (-23°C) or colder
for diesel engines and below 0°F (-17°C) for gas engines.
Please refer to Engine Block Heater in the Driving chapter of your Owner’s Guide. dieseL engine oPera
Tion (if equipped)
Diesel engines have different starting and operating
procedures than gasoline engines. Please refer to
your diesel Supplement for detailed information on
starting and operating your diesel engine. Key items
to remember are:
Starting the Engine
With the key in the on position, the
light will
illuminate if glow plug heat is necessary as a starting aid.
Wait for the light to extinguish before starting the engine.
Turning Off the Engine
It is important to remember that if you have been
operating your vehicle at a high speed or maximum gross
vehicle weight, it is recommended to let the engine idle
for 3-5 minutes so the turbocharged engine can properly
cool down.
Engine Cooling System
The coolant concentration should be maintained at
50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water. The level
of coolant should be maintained at the “COLD FILL”
range in the coolant reservoir. Engine coolant system
anti-freeze and anti-corrosive strength should be checked
and serviced at the mileage or equivalent hour intervals
specified by the maintenance schedule. Refer to your
Owner Guide for additional information.
Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) Fuel The diesel engine requires ultra low sulfur diesel fuel to control exhaust emissions, especially when combined with new exhaust treatment devices such as a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). It is always important to make
sure the proper fuel is used because use of improper fuel (e.g., high level of biodiesel fuel or a high sulfur diesel fuel) may cause serious engine damage. Use of biodiesel is acceptable as long as the content is no higher than 5% (B5). If the biodiesel is rated higher than B5 (such as B10 or B20), it may damage fuel system components.
Diesel fuel quality is critical for reliable engine operation. Motorcraft
® Cetane
Booster & Performance Improver can
be added to improve fuel economy,
starting ability, and reduce engine wear.
To avoid cold weather fuel gelling, add
Motorcraft
® Anti-Gel & Performance
Improver to every new tank of fuel. Draining the Water Separator
Water will gather in the frame-mounted water separator,
called the horizontal fuel conditioning module (HFCM).
The water separator should be drained monthly, or
sooner if the “WATER IN FUEL” lamp illuminates.
Exhaust System
To control exhaust emissions, your diesel Super Duty
is equipped with an exhaust system with clean diesel
after-treatment technology which includes a diesel
oxidation catalytic converter and a diesel particulate
filter (DPF). Do not modify the exhaust after-treatment.
See your Owner’s Guide and Diesel Supplement for
more information.
Checking the Air Filter
Your vehicle has an air filtration system with a restriction
indicator gauge that will alert you when you need to
change your filter. The gauge has a viewable indicator
located underhood on the air filter assembly which
should be inspected every oil change.

Heavier 15W-40 and 5W-40 engine oils are
recommended for temperatures over 50˚F (10˚C) and
must be used for heavy duty driving and trailer towing.
Use Motorcraft oil or an equivalent oil conforming to
Ford specification WSS-M2C171–E or API service
categories CJ-4 or CJ-4/SM. It is important to use these
oils because they are compatible with the emission
control equipment of your vehicle to meet the more
stringent emission standards.
Under normal conditions, the engine oil and filter need
to be changed at 10,000 mi (16,093 km) or 6 month
intervals (whichever comes first). Under severe
conditions, the intervals are sooner; 5,000 mi (8,046
km) or 3 months (whichever comes first). Refer to the
scheduled maintenance information chapter of the
Diesel Supplement for specific information on normal
and severe conditions. Use the same engine oil and
filter change intervals when using synthetic engine oil. TBC, please refer to the Tires,
Wheels and Loading chapter of your
