CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR
FILTER - 3.2L POWER STROKE
DIESEL
WARNING
To reduce the risk of vehicle damage
and personal burn injuries, do not
start your engine with the air cleaner
removed and do not remove it while the
engine is running. Note:
Failure to use the correct air filter
element may result in severe engine
damage. The vehicle warranty may be void
for any damage to the engine if the correct
air filter element is not used.
Note: After operating the vehicle up to
200 mi (320 km) in heavy snowfall, we
recommend that you open the hood at the
earliest opportunity and clear the snow and
ice from air filter housing. Do not remove the
foam filter. The foam filler must be in place at all
times. Only use the specified air filter.
See
Capacities and Specifications (page
265).
Change the air filter element and foam
filler at the proper interval. See Scheduled
Maintenance
(page 433). 1. Disconnect the mass air flow sensor
electrical connector and cable from
the air filter cover.
2. Clean the area around the air tube to air filter cover connection to prevent
debris from entering the system and
then loosen the bolt on the air tube
clamp so the clamp is no longer snug
to the air tube. It is not necessary to
completely remove the clamp. Pull the
air tube off from the air filter cover.
3. Release the clamps that secures the air filter cover to the air filter housing.

4.
Carefully lift the air filter housing cover.
Remove the air filter element from the
air filter housing.
5. Install a new air filter element. Make sure that the groove seal on the
pleated paper filter traps both sides of
the vertical partition of the air box.
6. Replace the air filter housing. Engage the clamps that secure the air filter
housing cover to the air filter housing.
Be careful not to crimp the filter
element edges between the air filter
housing and cover. Make sure that the
tabs on the edge are correctly aligned
into the slots.
7. Slip the air tube onto the air filter cover
and snugly tighten the bolt on the air
tube clamp, but do not overtighten.
8. Reconnect the mass air flow sensor electrical connector to the outlet tube.
Make sure the locking tab on the
connector is in the locked position.

water at high pressure. This could
damage certain parts of your vehicle.
Remove the aerial before using an
automatic car wash.
Switch the heater blower off to
prevent contamination of the fresh

Car wash chemicals and environmental
fallout can result in windshield and wiper
blade contamination. Dirty windshield and
wipers will result in poor windshield wiper
operation. Keep the windshield and wiper
blades clean to maintain windshield wiper
performance.
To clean the windshield and wiper blades:
• Clean the windshield with a
non-abrasive glass cleaner.
• For windshields contaminated with
tree sap, chemicals, wax or bugs, clean
the entire windshield using steel wool
(no greater than 0000 grade) in a
circular motion and rinse with water.
• Clean the wiper blades with isopropyl
rubbing alcohol or windshield washer
fluid.
Note: Do not use razor blades or other
sharp objects to clean or remove decals
from the inside of the heated rear window.
The vehicle warranty does not cover
damage caused to the heated rear window
grid lines.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Note: Do not allow air fresheners and hand
sanitizers to spill on interior surfaces. If a
spill occurs, wipe off immediately. Damage
may not be covered by your warranty. Safety Belts WARNINGS
Do not use abrasives, or chemical
solvents to clean them.
Do not allow moisture to penetrate
the safety belt retractor mechanism.
Clean them with interior cleaner or water
applied with a soft sponge. Let them dry
naturally, away from artificial heat.

Only use fluid that meets Ford
specifications. Motor oils of the
recommended viscosity grade that meet
API SN requirements and display the API
Certification Mark for gasoline engines are
also acceptable. Do not use oil labeled
with API SN service category unless the
label also displays the API certification
mark.
An oil that displays this symbol conforms
to current engine, emission system and
fuel economy performance standards of
the International Lubricant Standardization
and Approval Committee (ILSAC).
Note:
Do not use supplemental engine oil
additives. They are unnecessary and could
lead to engine damage that is not covered
by Ford ’s warranty. Use only Motorcraft DOT 4 LV High
Performance Brake Fluid, or equivalent,
meeting WSS-M6C65-A2 or ISO 4925
Class 6. Use of any fluid other than the
recommended fluid may cause brake
system damage.
Use multi-purpose grease for door latches,
hood latch, auxiliary hood latch, trunk latch
and seat tracks.
If you use oil and fluids that do not meet
the defined specification and viscosity
grades this may lead to:
•
Component damage which may not be
covered by the vehicle Warranty.
• Longer engine cranking periods.
• Increased emission levels.
• Reduced engine performance.
• Reduced fuel economy.
• Degraded brake performance.
