engine FORD SUPER DUTY 2011 3.G Diesel Supplement Manual

Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™
Your diesel engine is equipped with an Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ that
calculates the proper engine oil change service interval based on vehicle
use. The following table is intended to provide examples of vehicle use
and its impact on engine oil change interval; it is provided as a guideline
only. Actual engine oil change intervals will depend on several factors
and will generally decrease with severity of use.

additive strength (corrosion inhibitor) (add engine coolant
additive, if required). Refer to
Engine cooling systemin
theIntroductionchapter.
Every 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or
2400 hours of engine operation
(whichever comes first)– Flush & refill engine coolant (refer to
Engine Coolant
Change Record)– Do not add engine coolant additive
Perform the services noted in the preceding table at the specified
time/mileage (km) period either within 3,000 miles (5,000 km) of the
OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message appearing in the message center or

maintenance requirements need to be adjusted. This needs to be
considered when determining vehicle service intervals.
Note:When adding supplemental coolant additive, do not exceed the
specified maximum of 48 fl. oz. (1.4L). Operating the engine with
