technical specifications FORD SUPER DUTY 2013 3.G Diesel Supplement Manual

STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to the off position.
To prolong engine life (especially after extended high speed, high
ambient temperature, or high GVW/GCW operation, such as heavy loads
and/or heavy trailers), it is recommended that a hot engine be idled for
3-5 minutes. This allows the turbocharged engine to cool down. For more
information on GVW/GCW, see theLoad Carryingchapter in your
Owner’s Manual.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Note:Idling in cold weather does not heat the engine to its normal
operating temperature. Long periods of idling, especially in cold weather,
can cause a buildup of deposits which can cause engine damage.
Changing to a lighter grade engine oil also makes starting easier under
these conditions. Refer toEngine oil specificationsin theMaintenance
chapter of this supplement.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for cold temperatures. Diesel fuel which
has not been properly formulated for the ambient conditions may gel
which can clog the fuel filters. One indication that the fuel filter(s) may
be clogged is if the engine starts, stalls after a short time, and then does
not restart. If you have been using biodiesel, you may need to use a fuel
with lower biodiesel content, try another brand, or discontinue using
biodiesel. Do not use alcohol based additives to correct fuel gelling. This
may result in damage to the fuel injectors/system. Use the proper
anti-gel & performance improver product as listed in theTechnical
Specificationssection in theCapacities and Specificationschapter.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel fuel conditioner module (DFCM)
which recirculates fuel from the engine to help prevent fuel filter
clogging. To avoid engine fuel starvation during cold weather operation
of 32°F (0°C) or below, it is recommended that the fuel level in your
tank should not be allowed to drop below
14full. This helps prevent air
from entering the fuel system and stalling the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with a an SCR system which uses diesel exhaust
fluid (DEF) to operate properly. DEF must be replenished at certain
intervals. When filling the vehicle’s DEF tank in cold weather, special
care must be taken to prevent damage to the DEF tank. For proper cold
weather fill procedure, seeSelective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) System
in theFuel and Refuelingchapter.

DIESEL FUEL ADDITIVES
It should not be necessary to add any aftermarket additives to your fuel
tank if you use a properly formulated diesel fuel. Aftermarket additives
can damage the injector system or engine.
Use Motorcraft® cetane booster or an equivalent cetane booster additive
if you suspect fuel has low cetane. Use Motorcraft® anti-gel &
performance improver or an equivalent additive if there is fuel gelling.
Do not use alcohol based additives to improve cetane quality, to prevent
fuel gelling or any other use. The use of alcohol additives may result in
damage to the fuel injectors/system. refer to theTechnical
specificationssection in theCapacities and Specificationschapter for
more information.
Repairs to correct the effects of using an aftermarket product that does
not meet Ford specifications in your fuel may not be covered by your
warranty.
Note:Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel is designed to meet the emissions
standards for the 6.7L engine and is backward compatible as well (i.e.,
can be used in Ford 7.3L, 6.9L, 6.4L and 6.0L diesel engines in Ford
vehicles).
FUELING TIPS
WARNING:Do not use starting fluid such as ether or gasoline
in the diesel air intake system. Such fluids can cause immediate
explosive damage to the engine and possible personal injury.
Truck stops have pumps and nozzles designed for larger, heavy-duty
trucks. When refueling at truck stops: if the nozzle shuts off repeatedly
when refueling, wait 5–10 seconds; then use a slower rate of flow (don’t
depress the nozzle trigger as far).
If air is allowed to enter the fuel system (during fuel filter change or if
you run out of fuel) the engine will purge the trapped air as it runs. To
purge the air sooner: prior to engine start, prime the system by turning
the key to on for 30 seconds then to off. Repeat this several times. The
engine may run rough and produce white smoke while air is in the
system. This is normal and should correct itself in a short time.
An engine that suddenly becomes noisy or operates poorly after a fuel fill
could be using substandard fuel (i.e., high water content, low cetane
rating or gasoline in the fuel). Diesel fuel should be purchased from a
reputable station which sells a large amount of diesel fuel.

EXCEPTIONS
In addition, there are several exceptions to the Normal Schedule. They
are listed below:
Normal vehicle axle maintenance:Rear axles and power take-off
(PTO) units with synthetic fluid and light-duty trucks equipped with
Ford-design axles are lubricated for life; do not check or change fluid
unless a leak is suspected, service is required or the assembly has been
submerged in water. During long periods of trailer towing with outside
temperatures above 70°F (21°C) and at wide-open throttle for long
periods above 45 mph (72 km/h), non-synthetic rear axle fluids should
be changed every 3000 miles (4800 kilometers) or three months,
whichever comes first. This interval can be waived if the axle is filled
with 75W140 synthetic gear fluid meeting Ford specification
WSL-M2C192-A, part number F1TZ-19580-B or equivalent. Add friction
modifier XL-3 (EST-M2C118-A) or equivalent for complete refill of
Traction-Lok rear axles (refer toTechnical specificationsin the
Maintenancechapter for details).
F-450 and F-550 axle maintenance:Change rear axle fluid every
100000 miles (160000 kilometers) under normal driving conditions on all
commercial applications. For trucks operated at or near maximum Gross
Vehicle Weights, the rear axle fluid should be changed every 50000 miles
(80000 kilometers). In addition, this 50000 mile (80000 kilometer)
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 120000 miles (192000 kilometers) 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
250000 miles (400000 kilometers) 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.
