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 least 20 minutes after engine shutdown to assure 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 (read for the actual engine oil level.
|
|
| 6. Maintain the oil level between ADD and OPERATING RANGE on the dipstick by adding oil as required. The distance from ADD to OPERATING RANGE on the dipstick represents 2 quarts. Do overfill. If the oil level exceeds OPERATING RANGE, oil consumption may result. |

Engine oil specifications
To help achieve proper engine performance and durability, it is important that only engine lubricating oils of the proper quality are used in your Diesel engine and that the engine oil is changed no later than the recommended interval. Diesel engines require specially formulated oil to resist contamination. Proper quality oils also provide maximum efficiency of the crankcase ventilating system which reduces air pollution.
|
|
| For normal or severe service, use Motorcraft oil or an equivalent oil conforming to Ford Specification WSS-M2C171-D or API Service categories CI-4, CI-4/SL or DHD-l. If CI-4 oil is not available, CH-4 is acceptable. |
|
| Engine oils with improved fuel economy properties ( energy conservi are currently available. If you use an energy conserving oil, be sure i meets the recommended Ford Specification, API service categories a SAE viscosity grades listed in the Lubricant and Maintenance Materi; Specifications chart. Some energy conserving oils do not meet the requirements necessary for your Diesel engine.

|
The use of correct oil viscosities for Diesel engines is important for satisfactory operation.
Determine which oil viscosity best suits the temperature range you expect to encounter for the next service interval.

* Heavy duty trailer towing with ambient temperatures above 50°F (10°C) requires 15W-40 engine oil. |

|
| This symbol has been developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API) to help you select the proper engine oil. It will be included on the oil 15W-40 container you purchase. The top section of the symbol shows the oil performance by the API designation. This should match the owner guide recommendation. The center section will show the SAE viscosity grade. The lower section will state energy conserving if the oil has proven fuel saving capabilities. |

Changing engine oil and filter |
|
|
|
|
Change your oil and filter according to the scheduled maintenance guide. Change more frequently if your vehicle operation includes extended periods of idling or low-speed operation, driving for a long time in cold temperatures or driving short distances. See the following section Engine lubrication for severe service operation for all severe duty restrictions.
Use Ford Engine Oil Filter Part No. 3C3Z-6731-AA (FL-2016) or equivalent. These filters protect your engine by filtering harmful, abrasive or sludge particles. The FL-2016 fIlters particles significantly smaller than most available "will-fit" fIlters.

|
| To replace the filter, |
|
|
| 1. Unscrew the oil filter cap and wait a few seconds for the oil to drain through the built-in drain valve.
Note: The filter should be changed before reinstalling the oil pan drain plug.
2. Reinstall and tighten the oil filter cap.

Engine lubrication for severe service operation |
|
|
The following severe service operating conditions require unique engine maintenance procedures:
Towing a trailer over 1,600 km (1,000 miles).
Sustained, high speed driving at Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (maximum loaded weight for vehicle operation during hot weather-above 90°F [32°C]).
Frequent or extended idling (over 10 minutes per hour of normal driving).
Operating in severe dust conditions.
Frequent, short trips of 10 miles (16 km) or less during freezing weather.
|
|
| If you are operating your vehicle under any of these conditions, observe the following service procedures:
Change engine oil and fIlter every 5,000 miles (8,000 km).
Use Motorcraft oil or an equivalent oil conforming to Ford Specification WSS-M2CI71-D or API categories CI-4, CI-4/SL or DHD-l. If CI-4 oil is not available, CH-4 is acceptable. For more information refer the Severe duty maintenance schedule in the scheduled maintenance guide.
