mileage FORD SUPER DUTY 2013 3.G Diesel Supplement Manual

The glow plug system is
electronically controlled by the PCM
and GPCM. The GPCM energizes the
glow plugs immediately after the ignition is turned on and kept on as
determined by the GPCM using the ECT, BARO and environmental
temperature sensor. The required time for the glow plugs to be
energized decreases as the coolant temperature, barometric pressure and
environmental temperature increase.
Engine and secondary cooling system
The cooling system contains an engine cooling loop to cool the engine
and a secondary cooling loop to cool the transmission, exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR), charge air and fuel. The coolant serves three
primary purposes: to provide heat transfer, freeze point protection, and
corrosion protection using additives.
Vehicles with diesel engines typically are used to carry heavy loads and
accumulate mileage rapidly. These two factors may cause the additives in
the coolant to “wear out” in a shorter time. Refer to theSpecial
operating conditionssection for more information about coolant
additives and coolant change intervals. Operating the engine with
insufficient coolant and/or coolant additive can cause severe engine
damage.
Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system
Your vehicle is equipped with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR)
system to help reduce emission levels of oxides of nitrogen from the
exhaust of the diesel engine. This system relies on the use of diesel
exhaust fluid (DEF) which must be replenished at certain intervals.
Failure to maintain proper DEF levels or if the DEF becomes
contaminated will result in vehicle speed limitations and/or result in the
vehicle entering an idle-only mode. SeeSelective catalytic reduction
(SCR) systemin theFuel and Refuelingchapter for more information.
Speed control (if equipped)
If vehicle speed goes outside a predetermined range from the set speed,
the RES (Resume) function will not reset vehicle speed. Vehicle speed
will need to be reset with the SET +/- button after reaching desired
speed using accelerator pedal.

Your vehicle’s message center will display a series of messages regarding
the amount of DEF available. A systems check will display messages
indicating the amount of DEF available (OK or under
12full) or will
produce a warning message that displays the mileage (kilometers)
remaining as the fluid in the DEF tank nears empty. For more
information on warning messages, see theInformation Displayschapter
of yourOwner’s Manual.
As the DEF level nears empty, the
DEF warning symbol will be
displayed and chimes will sound
with the messages starting at 500 miles (805 km) remaining before DEF
is depleted. The warning symbol and messages will continue until the
DEF tank is refilled.
Continued driving without refilling will result in the following actions as
required by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and /or U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):
•Within a certain number of miles (kilometers) to empty, speed will be
limited upon vehicle restart. Prior to this occurring a message will
appear in the message center.
•Further vehicle operation without refilling your DEF tank will cause
the engine to enter an idle-only condition. This will only occur upon
vehicle refueling or extended idle and will be indicated by a message
in the message center indicating required actions to resume normal
operation. It is required to add a minimum of 0.5 gallons (1.9L) of
DEF to the tank to exit the idle-only condition, but the vehicle will
still be in the speed limiting mode until the tank is refilled completely.
For either vehicle speed limiting or idle-only condition, normal vehicle
operation will resume when the DEF tank is refilled.
Note:When filling the DEF tank from empty, there may be a short delay
before detecting the increased level of DEF. This must occur before full
power is returned.

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.

ENGINE AND SECONDARY COOLING SYSTEM COOLANT
Checking the engine coolant
The concentration, additive strength and level of coolant should be
checked at the mileage intervals listed in thescheduled maintenance
information.Be sure to read and understandPrecautions when
servicing your vehiclein yourOwner’s Manual.
When the engine is cold, check the level of coolant in the reservoirs. See
Under Hood Overviewfor the location of the engine and secondary
cooling system reservoirs. If the coolant has not been checked at the
recommended interval, the engine or secondary coolant reservoir may
become low or empty. If either reservoir is low or empty, add coolant to
the reservoir(s). Refer toEngine and secondary cooling system refill
procedurein this chapter.
Note:The engine coolant should be between the MIN and MAX marks
(within the COLD FILL RANGE), as listed on the engine coolant reservoirs.
Note:Coolant expands when it is hot. The level may extend beyond the
MAX mark.
If the level is below the MIN mark, add engine coolant immediately see
Adding coolantin this chapter.
Note:For best results, coolant concentration should be tested with a
refractometer such as Rotunda tool 300– ROB75240 available from your
dealer. Ford does not recommend the use of hydrometers or coolant test
strips for measuring coolant concentrations.
The coolant concentration should be maintained within 48% to 50%,
which equates to a freeze point between -30 °F and -34 °F.
Note:Automotive fluids are not interchangeable; do not use engine
coolant/antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outside of its specified
function and vehicle location.

Checking coolant corrosion inhibitor additive strength
At specific mileage intervals of 15,000 miles (24,000 km), as listed in the
scheduled maintenance informationchapter, the coolant corrosion
inhibitor additive should be checked. The optional information display, if
equipped, will also display the messageCHECK COOLANT ADDITIVE
at this time. The purpose of checking is to verify the correct engine
coolant concentration (freeze point protection) and corrosion inhibitor
additive level (strength) of the coolant for maximum engine performance
and protection. Three products are available for ensuring the life and
health of the coolant: one tool, a test kit and a coolant inhibitor additive:
•Rotunda tool 300–ROB75240 available from your dealer –
recommended refractometer to test coolant concentration.
•
Rotunda 328-R071–ELC (Antifreeze Coolant ELC Contamination Kit) –
Evaluates the corrosion inhibitor additive strength. Note the first step is
to verify the vehicle’s coolant concentration is in the correct range of 40
– 60%. Coolant concentrations outside this range will not provide valid
test results. If the report results in a pass (i.e., the cooling system does
not show excessive contamination/the corrosion inhibitor additive
strength is sufficient), no action is required. If the report results as
insufficient (does not pass), the corrosion inhibitor additive strength of
the coolant is too low. If the ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM corrosion
inhibitor additive strength is low, add 48 fluid oz. of Motorcraft®
Specialty Orange Engine Coolant Revitalizer. If the SECONDARY
COOLING SYSTEM corrosion inhibitor additive strength is low, add 16
fluid oz. of Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant Revitalizer.
•Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant Revitalizer – Additive to
boost the corrosion inhibitor level based upon the test results of the
Antifreeze Coolant ELC Contamination Kit. The Revitalizer may be
added two times over the life of the coolant. If additional dosages are
required, the cooling system must be flushed and refilled per the
instructions in the Workshop Manual.
Refer to theCapacities and Specificationschapter for the proper
coolant and additive specifications.
Coolant change
At specific mileage intervals, as listed in thescheduled maintenance
information,the coolant should be changed. The optional information
display, if equipped, will also display the messageCOOLANT CHANGE
REQUIREDat this time.
Refer to theCapacities and Specificationschapter for the proper coolant.

Protecting Your Investment
Maintenance is an investment that will pay dividends in the form of
improved reliability, durability and resale value. To maintain the proper
performance of your vehicle and its emission control systems, it is
imperative that scheduled maintenance be completed at the designated
intervals.
Your vehicle is equipped with the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor® (IOLM)
system which displays a message in the information display at the proper
oil change service interval; this interval may be up to one year or
10000 miles (16000 kilometers). When ENGINE OIL CHANGE DUE or
OIL CHANGE REQUIRED appears in the information display, it is time
for an oil change; the oil change must be done within two weeks or
500 miles (800 kilometers) of the ENGINE OIL CHANGE DUE or OIL
CHANGE REQUIRED message appearing. The Intelligent Oil-Life
Monitor® must be reset after each oil change; see theInformation
Displayschapter of yourOwner’s Manual.
If your information display is prematurely reset or becomes inoperative,
you should perform the oil change interval at six months or 5000 miles
(8000 kilometers) from your last oil change. Never exceed one year or
10000 miles (16000 kilometers) between oil change intervals.
Your vehicle is very sophisticated and built with multiple, complex,
performance systems. Every manufacturer develops these systems using
different specifications and performance features. That is why it is
important to rely upon your dealership to properly diagnose and repair
your vehicle.
Ford Motor Company has recommended maintenance intervals for
various parts and component systems based upon engineering testing.
Ford Motor Company relies upon this testing to determine the most
appropriate mileage for replacement of oils and fluids to protect your
vehicle at the lowest overall cost to you and recommends against
maintenance schedules that deviate from the scheduled maintenance
information.
Ford strongly recommends the use of only genuine Ford, Motorcraft® or
Ford-authorized remanufactured replacement parts because they are
engineered for your vehicle.
Additives and Chemicals
Ford Motor Company recommended additives and chemicals are listed in
the owner manual and in the Ford Workshop Manual. Additional
chemicals or additives not approved by Ford Motor Company are not
recommended as part of normal maintenance. Please consult your
warranty information.

NORMAL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND LOG
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor®
Your vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor® that
determines when the engine oil needs to be changed based on how your
vehicle is used. By using several important factors in its calculations, the
monitor helps reduce the cost of owning your vehicle and reduce
environmental waste at the same time. This means you won’t have to
remember to change the oil on a mileage-based schedule; the vehicle lets
you know when an oil change is due by displaying OIL CHANGE
REQUIRED in the information display. The following table is intended to
provide examples of vehicle use and its impact on engine oil change
intervals; it is provided as a guideline only. Actual engine oil change
intervals depend on several factors and generally decrease with severity
of use.
When to expect the OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message
