2006 FORD SUPER DUTY automatic transmission fluid

STARTING THE ENGINE
Read all starting instructions carefully before you start your vehicle.
For temperatures below 32°F (0°C), the use of the correct grade engine
oil is essential for proper operation.
If your vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission,make sure
the parking brake is set fully before you turn the key. Depress the clutch
pedal and place the gearshift in the neutral position. The clutch must be
fully depressed in order to operate the starter. Do not press the
accelerator during starting.
If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission,ensure
the gearshift lever is in P (Park) and the parking brake is set before you
turn the key. Do not press the accelerator during starting.
Cold weather starting
The engine block heater must be used for starting when the temperature
is -20°F (-29°C) or colder. Refer toUsing the engine block heater (if
equipped)in theDrivingchapter of theOwner’s Guide.
When operating in cold weather, use a minimum of 45 Cetane Diesel fuel
or use Cetane Index improvers from a reputable manufacturer.
Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds as starter damage
may occur. If the engine fails to start, turn the key to 3 (OFF) and wait
30 seconds before trying again.
Do not use starting fluid, such as ether, in the air intake system
(see air cleaner decal). Such fluid could cause immediate
explosive damage to the engine and possible personal injury.
Note:Do not add gasoline, gasohol or alcohol to diesel fuel. This
practice creates a serious fire hazard and causes engine performance
problems.
