2004 FORD F650 oil type

After the engine starts:
•On some engines, theWait to
startlight should illuminate after
the engine starts. Allow the
engine to idle about three
minutes or until the engine
coolant temperature gauge begins to rise. Maintain idle speed until the
Wait to startlight cycles off to indicate the air intake heater has shut
off (approximately six minutes). Operating the engine at higher
speeds will reduce the effectiveness of the air inlet heater.
•Do not increase engine speed
until the oil pressure gauge
indicates normal pressure.
•Ensure engine oil pressure is
indicated on the gauge within 15
seconds after starting.
•Idle the engine for three to five
minutes before operating with a
full load.
•Try to limit engine idle to 10 minutes. Excessive idling reduces fuel
economy.
•When starting a cold engine, increase the engine speed (RPM) slowly
to make sure adequate lubrication is available to the bearings.
Restarting after running out of fuel
The fuel system may need to be purged of air, refer toRunning out of
fuelin theMaintenance and specificationschapter.
Cold weather operation
Do not use volatile starting aids such as ether, propane or
gasoline in the engine air intake system. Glow plugs may ignite
vapors which can cause engine damage or personal injury.
In order to operate the engine in temperatures of 0°C (32°F) or lower,
read the following instructions:
•Make sure that the batteries are of sufficient size and are fully
charged. Check other electrical components to make sure they’re in
optimum condition.
•Use a permanent-type engine coolant solution to protect the engine
against damage from freezing.

6. Clean and install the drain plug securely.
7. Add enough lubricant through the filler plug opening so that the
lubricant level is up to the bottom of the opening.
8. Clean and install the filler plug securely.
WHEELS
General
Wheel bearings should be inspected, lubricated and adjusted at regular
intervals. This is especially important if operating in deep sand, mud, or
water. Refer toLubricant specificationsin this chapter.
Oil lubricated front wheel bearings
During normal vehicle duty cycle, the lube and air inside the hub/wheel
cavity expands and if not vented, causes pressure build-up that could
cause accelerated seal wear.
There are two venting methods:
•a slit or small hole in the rubber check vent or
•the window
You can use either of these methods to prevent pressure build-up.
Normal maintenance
Over a period of time, if not routinely cleaned, a slight film of oil can
collect dirt around the rubber fill plug and face, which could appear to
be a leak. Routine cleaning ensures that the lube level can be easily
observed through the clear window as intended. In situations where the
window is clean on the outside but discolored on the inside, the lube
level may be checked by inserting a finger through the rubber check
vent hole.
The specified lube level for a clear window type hubcaps is from the
minimum line to + 5/16 inch above the minimum line.
If the lube level should suddenly drop dramatically below the minimum
level, see the Service Manual for diagnostic procedure.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE INTERVALS
New vehicles are lubricated at the factory. After the vehicle is placed in
operation, regular lubrication intervals, based on the type of service and
road conditions, should be established. Thorough lubrication at the
specified intervals will insure outstanding life cycle value and will reduce
overall expense.
The lubrication intervals specified should be performed at whatever
interval occurs first, whether it is months, kilometer (miles) or hours.
Only lubricants of superior quality, such as Motorcraft lubricants, should
be used. The use of inferior products will reduce the service life of the
vehicle or result in failure of its components.
Unless otherwise specified, never add lubricant unless it is the same
grade as that which is already being used. If the grade is not known or
not available, drain, flush and refill with new lubricant.
The interval between lubrication periods, oil changes, etc. depends
entirely upon operating conditions. The loads carried, speeds, road and
weather conditions all contribute to the frequency of lubrication periods.
In some types of operation, and where operating conditions are
extremely severe (such as in deep water, mud or unusually dusty
conditions), the vehicle may require lubrication after every 24 hours of
operation.
Maintenance intervals
Maintenance intervals are provided for three types of general vehicle
environments: On-Highway, City and Severe Service. In all applications,
the actual interval is determined by monitoring kilometers (miles) and
time and when the engine is due for an oil change. When the engine oil
change is required prior to the truck lubrication interval, it is
recommended that the lubrication be performed at the same time in
order to reduce your vehicle’s time out of service.
•On-Highway:96,000 km (60,000 miles) or more annually.
•City:95,000 km (59,000 miles) or less annually.
•Severe Service:32,000 km (20,000 miles) or less annually on/off
road in dirty conditions.
