To change the engine oil and oil filter:
1. Unscrew the oil filter and oil pan drain plug and wait for the oil to drain.
Note:The oil pan drain plug only requires 1/4 turn to removal/install. A
3/8 inch socket drive may be used to assist with removal/installation, but be
careful not to over-tighten the plug during installation.
2. Replace the filter.
3. Reinstall the oil pan drain plug.
4. Refill the engine with new oil. For the proper capacity, see
Maintenance product specifications and capacitiesin this chapter.
5. Reset the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™. SeeMessage centerin the
Instrument Clusterchapter for more information.
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.
Engine lubrication for severe service operation
The following conditions define severe operation for which engine
operation with SAE 5W-40 API CJ-4 is recommended. Oil and oil filter
change intervals will be determined by the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™
as noted previously.
•
frequent or extended idling (over 10 minutes per hour of normal driving)
•low-speed operation/stationary use
•if vehicle is operated in sustained ambient temperatures below -10°F
(-23°C) or above 100°F (38°C)
•frequent low-speed operation, consistent heavy traffic less than
25 mph (40 km/h)
•operating in severe dust conditions
•operating the vehicle off road
•towing a trailer over 1,000 miles (1,600 km)
•sustained, high-speed driving at Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(maximum loaded weight for vehicle operation)
•
use of fuels with sulfur content other than ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD)
•use of high-sulfur diesel fuel

WARNING:Failure to maintain the functional holes, in the
tailpipe section of the exhaust, clean and free of debris or
foreign material may result in the holes becoming blocked or plugged.
Do not modify or remove the tail-pipe section. Blocked or plugged
holes or removal/modification of the system could result in elevated
exhaust gas temperatures which may result in vehicle/property damage
or personal injury.
WARNING:The normal operating temperature of the exhaust
system is very high. Never work around or attempt to repair any
part of the exhaust system until it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the diesel oxidation catalytic converter and/or the diesel
particulate filter (DPF). The diesel oxidation catalytic converter and/or
the DPF heats up to a high temperature after only a short period of
engine operation and can stay hot even after the engine is turned off.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM(S) LAWS
In the U.S. federal law and certain state laws prohibit removing or
rendering inoperative emission control system(s). Similar federal or
provincial laws may apply in Canada. Ford recommends against any
vehicle modification without determining applicable law.
WARNING:Do not remove or alter the original equipment floor
covering or insulation between it and the metal floor of the
vehicle. The floor covering and insulation protect occupants of the
vehicle from the engine and exhaust system heat and noise. On
vehicles with no original equipment floor covering insulation, do not
carry passengers in a manner that permits prolonged skin contact with
the metal floor. Provide adequate insulation. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in fire or personal injury.
NOISE EMISSIONS WARRANTY, PROHIBITED TAMPERING ACTS
AND MAINTENANCE
On January 1, 1978, Federal regulation became effective governing the
noise emission on trucks over 10,000 lbs. (4,536 kg) GVWR (Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating). The following statements concerning prohibited
tampering acts and maintenance, and the noise warranty found in the
Warranty Guide, are applicable to complete chassis cabs over
10,000 lbs. (4,536 kg) GVWR.

Sustained high-speed driving at Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (maximum
loaded weight for vehicle operation)
As required– Change engine oil and replace oil filter as indicated by
message center and perform services as listed in the
Scheduled Maintenance chart.
Every 15,000 miles (24,000 km),
6 months, 600 hours of engine
operation, or as indicated by the
message center or instrument
cluster (whichever occurs first)– Change engine- and frame-mounted fuel filters
Every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or
800 hours of engine operation
(whichever comes first)– Inspect concentration (freeze-point protection) and
additive strength (corrosion inhibitor) (add engine coolant
additive, if required). Refer to
Engine cooling systemin
theIntroductionchapter.
Every 30,000 miles (48,000 km)– Replace wheel bearing grease and grease seals on 4x2
wheel bearings (if non-sealed bearings are used)
Every 50,000 miles (80,000 km)– Change rear axle lubricant (if equipped with a DANA
rear axle, some F-350s, all F–450s and F–550s)
Every 50,000 miles (80,000 km)– Change transfer case fluid (4x4 only)
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
when the time/mileage (km) reading indicates service is due.
Example #1:The OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message comes on at
18,751 miles (30,177 km); perform the 22,500 mile (36,000 km) fuel
filter replacement.
Example #2:The OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message hasnotcome on
but the odometer reads 22,500 miles (36,000 km); perform the fuel filter
replacement. (i.e., Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ was reset at 15,000 miles
[24,000 km].)
Note:When adding supplemental coolant additive, do not exceed the
specified maximum of 48 fl. oz. (1.4L). Operating the engine with
excessive supplemental coolant additive may cause overheating which
could lead to severe permanent engine damage.

EXCEPTIONS
In addition, there are several exceptions to the Normal Schedule. They
are listed below:
COOLANT CHANGE RECORD
Normal Vehicle Axle Maintenance
❑Rear axles and power take-off (PTO) units containing synthetic lubricant and light duty trucks equipped with Ford-design
axles are lubricated for life. These lubricants are not to be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is re-
quired or the axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle and PTO lubricant should be changed anytime the axle
and PTO have been submerged in water. Non-synthetic rear axle lubricants should be replaced every 3,000 miles
(5,000 km) or 3 months, whichever occurs first, during extended trailer tow operation above 70°F (21°C) ambient and
wide open throttle for extended periods above 45 mph (72 km/h). The 3,000 mile (5,000 km) lube change interval may
be waived if the axle was filled with 75W140 synthetic gear lubricant meeting Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A, part
number F1TZ-19580-B or equivalent. Add four ounces (118 mL) of additive friction modifier C8AZ-19B546-A (EST-
M2C118-A) or equivalent for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear axles. The axle lubricant should be changed anytime an
axle has been submerged in water.
F-450 and F-550 Axle Maintenance
❑Replace rear axle lubricant every 100,000 miles (160,000 km) under normal driving conditions on all F-450 and F-550
commercial applications. For F-450 and F-550 trucks operated at or near maximum Gross Vehicle Weights, the rear axle
lubricant should be replaced every 50,000 miles (80,000 km). In addition, this 50,000 mile (80,000 km) schedule
should be observed when the vehicles are operated under the Special Operating Conditions, where noted.
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
❑The DPF may need to be removed for ash cleaning at approximately 120,000 miles (192,000 km) or greater (actual
mileage can vary greatly depending upon engine/vehicle operating conditions) and replaced with a new or remanufactured
(ash cleaned) part. The filter may need to be replaced at approximately 250,000 miles (400,000 km) depending upon
engine/vehicle operating conditions. In both cases the engine control system will set a service light (
) to inform
you to bring the vehicle to the dealer for service. If there are any issues with the oxidation catalyst/DPF system a service
light (
or) will be set by the engine control system to inform you to bring the vehicle into a dealership
for service.
Engine Coolant
❑6 years or 105,000 miles (168,000 km) - change coolant (whichever comes first) or as indicated from the coolant tests
for concentration (freeze-point) or additive strength (corrosion inhibitor).
❑After initial change - change coolant every 3 years or 45,000 miles (72,000 km) or as indicated from the coolant tests
for concentration (freeze-point) or additive strength (corrosion inhibitor).
