(Diesel engines)
1 Add 8 oz. (236 ml) of Additive Friction Modifier XL-3 or equivalent meeting Ford
Specification EST-M2C118– A for complete refill of limited slip Ford axles. Ford design
rear axles contain a synthetic lubricant that does not require changing unless the axle
has been submerged in water.
2 Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.
3 Your engine has been designed to use Motorcraft engine oils or equivalent oils that meet
Ford specifications. It is also acceptable to use an engine oil of recommended viscosity
grade that meets API SN requirements and displays the API Certification Mark for gasoline
engines
Note: Do not use API category oils labeled as SN, SM, SL or lower category unless the label
also displays the API certification mark. These oils do not meet the requirements for your
engine and emission system.
4 Do not use supplemental engine oil additives in your engine. They are unnecessary and
could lead to engine damage that is not covered by your Ford warranty.
5 Make sure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used. Transmission fluid
requirements are indicated on the dipstick blade or the dipstick handle. Check the container
to verify the fluid you are adding is of the correct type. Refer to your scheduled maintenance
information to determine the correct service interval.
Note: Automatic transmissions that require MERCON LV should only use MERCON LV fluid.
Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.
6 Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some applications may vary based on cooler
size and if equipped with an in-tank cooler. The amount of transmission fluid and fluid
level should be set by the indication on the dipstick’ s normal operating range.
7 See Transmission (page 140). See Checking automatic transmission fluid in this chapter
for the correct dipstick type. Fill to the proper capacity according to dipstick Type A.
8 See Transmission (page 140). See Checking automatic transmission fluid in this chapter
for the correct dipstick type. Fill to the proper capacity according to dipstick Type B.
9 WARNING
The A/C refrigerant system contains refrigerant R-134a under high pressure. Opening
the A/C refrigerant system can cause personal injury. A/C refrigerant system is to
be serviced only by qualified personnel.

Super Duty (TFA) Capacities and Specifications

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.
We strongly recommend the use of only
genuine Ford, Motorcraft or
Ford-authorized re-manufactured
replacement parts engineered for your
vehicle.
Additives and Chemicals
This owner's manual and the Ford
Workshop Manual list the recommended
additives and chemicals for your vehicle.
We do not recommend using chemicals or
additives not approved by us as part of
your vehicle
’s normal maintenance. Please
consult your warranty information. Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a
normal operating characteristic and, by
itself, does not necessarily indicate a
concern or that the fluid needs to be
changed. However, a qualified expert, such
as the factory-trained technicians at your
dealership, should inspect discolored fluids
that also show signs of overheating or
foreign material contamination
immediately.
Make sure to change your vehicle
’s oils and
fluids at the specified intervals or in
conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a
viable way to change fluid for many vehicle
sub-systems during scheduled
maintenance. It is critical that systems are
flushed only with new fluid that is the same
as that required to fill and operate the
system or using a Ford-approved flushing
chemical.

maintenance checks and inspections every

Multi-point Inspection
