Checking the engine oil level
Refer to theScheduled Maintenance Guidechapter for the appropriate
intervals for checking the engine oil. Check the engine oil level

engine oil.
If your vehicle is equipped with the 6.0L Power Stroke engine,
perform the following procedure:

temperature (the engine coolant temperature gauge indicator will be
near the center of the normal area between H and C).
2. Park the vehicle on level ground.
3. Set the parking brake and shift into N (Neutral) (automatic
transmission) or 1 (First) (manual transmission).
4. Turn off the engine and wait a few minutes for the oil to drain
completely into the oil pan.
