ENGINE AND SUBSYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Note:Information in this section pertains to the 6.0L Power Stroke
engine only. For information pertaining to other engines, see the
respective engine operator manual.
Note:To prevent damage to the engine control module, never
spray-wash it directly. Never spray any connector.
For effective emissions control and low operating cost, it is important
that maintenance operations listed in this section be performed at the
specified periods or mileage intervals indicated (kilometers, miles, hours,
or months, whichever comes first).
Service intervals are based upon average operating conditions. Where
dusty, frequent start and stop or heavily laden operations are
encountered, more frequent servicing will be required.
As the vehicle (engine) owner, you are responsible for the performance
of all scheduled maintenance. The required maintenance operations may
be performed by the owner at a service establishment of the owner’s
choosing. Any replacement parts used for required maintenance services
or repairs should be genuine manufacturer service parts or equivalent in
quality and performance to genuine manufacturer service parts. Use of
inferior parts hinders operations of the engine and emissions controls
and can reduce engine life and/or jeopardize the warranty.
Receipts covering the performance of regular maintenance should be
retained in the event questions arise concerning maintenance. The
receipts should be transferred to each subsequent owner of the vehicle
(engine).

Catalytic converter
If your Diesel engine is equipped with a catalytic converter, it is
important to review the maintenance schedule to insure proper
functioning of the catalytic converter. Also, take precautions not to
damage the catalytic converter when servicing your engine or storing
your vehicle.
Note:If your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter/muffler,do
notblend waste oil with Diesel fuel. Operate only on low sulfur (less
than 500 parts per million sulfur) Diesel fuel with a cetane value of 45 or
higher.
Note:If your vehicle is equipped with a vertical exhaust pipe, it is very
important to have and maintain a rain cap on the exhaust pipe to
prevent water from entering the exhaust system and catalytic converter.
Any water entering the catalytic converter may damage the catalyst and
affect the function of the converter.
Air induction system
Once each year, perform a complete inspection of the air induction
system. In areas where road salt is used, the inspection consists of
disassembling the joints of each aluminum component and inspecting for
salt build-up, presence of chlorine that can cause aluminum particles to
flake off and enter the engine combustion chambers.
If evidence of corrosion is found (usually at the pipe connections), use a
wire brush to clean the inside of the pipes and inside the rubber hoses.
If the intake pipes are pitted at the joint ends, use RTV silicone to seal
the joints. Be certain that no excess material is on the inside of the pipes
that can be pulled into the engine. If the service condition of the pipes,
hoses or clamps is questionable, replace the defective part(s).
Be sure that prior to reassembly all dust and debris has been cleaned out
of the pipes and couplings with a clean, damp rag.
To reduce the risk of personal injury or death when performing
maintenance to any turbocharged engine with engine air inlet
piping disconnected, a turbocharger compressor air inlet protective
shield should be installed over the turbocharger air inlet.

any damage to the fuel tank or fuel system if a genuine Ford or
Motorcraft fuel filler cap is not used.
If you do not use the proper fuel filler cap, excessive pressure or
vacuum in the fuel tank may damage the fuel system or cause
the fuel system to work improperly in a collision, which may result in
possible personal injury.
Choosing the right fuel
The engine is designed to use low sulfur number 1D or 2D diesel fuel
only. At temperatures below–20
oF(–7oC), number 1D or winter blend
number 2D fuel is recommended. (SeeCold weather operationin the
Drivingsection.) Diesel fuel containing no more than 5% of biodiesel
may be used. Biodiesel fuel is a product derived from renewable fuel
sources such as vegetable oil, animal fat and cooking oil.
Do not use home heating oil or any diesel fuel not intended for
highway use. Red dye is used to identify fuels intended for
agricultural and non-highway use. Damage to the fuel injection
system, engine and exhaust catalyst can occur if an improper fuel
is used. Do not add gasoline, gasohol or alcohol to diesel fuel.
This practice creates a serious fire hazard and engine
performance problems.
Use low sulfur (less than 0.05% by weight) fuel as required by the EPA
for emission compliance.
Do not mix diesel fuel with gasoline, gasohol or alcohol. This
could cause an explosion resulting in personal injury.
Do not use starting fluid such as ether or gasoline. Such fluids
can cause immediate explosive damage to the engine and
possible personal injury.
Fuel quality
It should not be necessary to add any aftermarket additives to your fuel
tank if you use a properly formulated diesel fuel that meets ASTM D 975
specification. Aftermarket additives can damage the injector system or
engine. Repairs to correct the effects of using an aftermarket product in
your fuel may not be covered by your warranty.

Do not blend used engine oil with diesel fuel under any
circumstances.Blending used oil with the fuel will significantly increase
your vehicle’s exhaust emissions and reduce engine life due to increased
internal wear.
Many of the world’s automakers approved the World-wide Fuel Charter
that recommends diesel fuel specifications to provide improved
performance and emission control system protection for your vehicle.
Diesel fuel that meet the World-wide Fuel Charter should be used when
available. Ask your fuel supplier about fuel that meet the World-Wide
Fuel Charter.
Running out of fuel
Avoid running out of fuel as this will allow air to enter the fuel system,
which will make restarting the vehicle difficult.
If you have run out of fuel:
•If your vehicle is equipped with dual fuel tanks,add at least 4–5
gallons (15–19 liters) of fuel to each tank before attempting to restart
the engine.
•If your vehicle is equipped with a Caterpillar engine,the fuel
system must be primed before attempting to restart the engine. Refer
to the engine operator’s manual for instructions on priming the engine.
•Use caution not to overheat and damage the starterby cranking
the engine for an excessive period of time. You may need to crank the
engine for a longer time than normal. If the engine fails to start in 30
seconds, turn the ignition to the OFF position and wait for two
minutes before cranking the engine again.
•Any remaining trapped air will self-purge from the fuel system once
the engine starts running.
•
The engine may run rough and produce white smoke while air is in the
fuel system. This is normal and should stop after a short period of time.
Fuel filter/water separator
Do not drain water separator while engine is running. Fuel may
ignite if separator is drained while engine is running or vehicle is
moving.
The fuel filter/water separator removes any contaminated particles
and/or water from the fuel before the fuel enters the engine.
The fuel filter/water separator should be drained as recommended in the
general maintenance information section.
