FORD SUPER DUTY 2013 3.G Diesel Supplement Manual

How to interrupt/cancel OCR
If OCR needs to be cancelled, pressing the brake, accelerator, or shutting
off the vehicle will stop OCR. Depending on the amount of time OCR was
allowed to operate, soot may not have had sufficient time to be
eliminated, but the exhaust system and exhaust gas may still be hot. If
the vehicle is shut off during OCR, you will notice turbo flutter. This is a
normal consequence caused by shutting off a diesel engine during
boosted operation and is considered normal.
Filter service/maintenance
Over time a slight amount of ash will build up in the DPF which is not
removed during the regeneration process. The DPF may need to be
removed for ash cleaning at approximately 120,000 miles (193,000 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 will be set by the
engine control system to inform you
to bring the vehicle into your
authorized dealer for service.

Resonator/Tailpipe assembly maintenance
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.
Note:Additions of aftermarket devices or modifications to the exhaust
system can reduce the effectiveness of the exhaust system as well as
cause damage to the exhaust system and/or engine. These actions may
also affect the vehicle’s warranty. See theWarranty Guidefor more
information.
The diesel resonator tail-pipe assembly is a uniquely functioning device
that accompanies the Oxidation Catalyst/DPF assembly. The assembly
serves multiple functions. First it serves as an acoustic device to
attenuate exhaust noise. Second it provides an exit path for the exhaust
from the vehicle. It also is designed to help control the temperature of
the exhaust during DPF regeneration events. The visible holes in each
leg of the twin tip and the holes under the shield just inboard of the
right rear tire(s) are functional. The holes need to be kept clear of
mud/debris or foreign material to maintain proper function of the
exhaust system. Clean and remove debris or foreign material if present
as needed. Spraying with a hose during regular washing of vehicle should
help keep holes clean and clear of debris or foreign material.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM(S) LAWS
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.
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.
Tampering with emissions control
systems (including related sensors
and the diesel exhaust fluid (DEF)
injection system) can result in reduced engine power and the
illumination of the service engine soon light.
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.
Tampering with noise control system prohibited
Federal law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof: (1) The
removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes
of maintenance, repair or replacement of any device or element of design
incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior
to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or
(2) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has
been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.

Among those acts which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency may
presume to constitute tampering are the acts listed below:
•Removal of hood blanket, fender apron absorbers, fender apron
barriers, underbody noise shields or acoustically absorptive material.
•Tampering or rendering inoperative the engine speed governor, so as
to allow engine speed to exceed manufacturer’s specifications.
The complexity of the diesel engine makes it so the owner is discouraged
from attempting to perform maintenance other than the services
described in this supplement.
If you experience difficult starting, rough idling, excessive exhaust
smoke, a decrease in engine performance or excess fuel consumption,
perform the following checks:
•a plugged or disconnected air inlet system or engine air filter element.
•water in the fuel filter/water separator.
•a clogged fuel filter.
•contaminated fuel.
•air in the fuel system, due to loose connections.
•an open or pinched sensor hose.
•check engine oil level.
•wrong fuel or oil viscosity for climactic conditions.
If these checks do not help you correct the engine performance problem
you are experiencing, consult an authorized dealer.
DUAL FUEL TANK SELECTOR CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
If your vehicle is equipped with dual
fuel tanks, you will have a selector
control, located to the right of the
steering wheel, which allows you to
draw fuel from either tank. Your fuel
gauge and the DTE (distance to
empty) will display the amount of
fuel in the currently selected tank.

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.
ENGINE OIL
Checking the engine oil level
Because it is normal to add some oil between oil changes, check your
engine oil level each time you stop for fuel. To check the engine oil level
consistently and accurately, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Have engine at normal operating temperature (at least into the
NORMAL range on the engine coolant temperature gauge).
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface, then turn off the engine and open
the hood.
3. Allow at least20 minutesafter engine shutdown to ensure that the oil
contained in the upper parts of the engine has returned to the oil pan.
4. Protecting yourself from engine heat, pull out the dipstick, wipe it
clean and reinsert fully.
5. Read oil level on both sides of dipstick and use highest level (reading)
for the actual engine oil level.
6. Maintain the oil level within the
crosshatch area on the dipstick by
adding oil as required. Do not
overfill the oil past the maximum
line as depicted by the arrow.
Engine oil specifications
It is important that only quality engine oils are used in your diesel engine
and it is changed at the recommended service interval. For normal or
severe service, use Motorcraft® oil or an equivalent oil conforming to
Ford specifications or API service categories CJ-4 as listed in the
Capacities and Specificationschapter. It is important to use the
