2009 FORD SUPER DUTY engine oil

DRAIN WATER SEPARATOR (Diesel engine only)— Displayed
when the water separator has reached a predetermined capacity and
needs to be drained. Refer to your6.0 and 6.4 Liter Power Stroke
Direct Injection Turbo Diesel Owner’s Guide Supplementfor more
information.
STOP SAFELY NOW (Diesel engine only)— Displays and a chime
sounds when the vehicle exhaust system temperature exceeds intended
operating range. If this warning occurs, the engine power is reduced and
the engine will shutdown when the vehicle speed is below 3 mph
(5 km/h).Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possibleand contact
your authorized dealer. Depending on the severity of the
over-temperature condition, the vehicle may or may not restart after
cycling the ignition off. If the vehicle restarts, there may be limited
power, or there could be full function. If the exhaust over-temperature
condition reoccurs the message center will display, STOP SAFELY NOW,
the chime will sound, the engine power will be reduced again and shut
down below 3 mph (5km/h).
ENGINE TURNS OFF IN XX (Diesel engine only)— Displayed
when the vehicle is in the final 30 seconds of a countdown to where the
engine will intentionally be turned off by the PCM. The diesel engine
shutdown is a (Regulatory) requirement which may be required of a
particular diesel vehicle for sale in States requiring this feature.
ENGINE TURNED OFF (Diesel engine only)— Displayed after the
30 second countdown.
ENGINE WARMING PLEASE WAIT XX (Diesel engine only)—
Displayed in extremely cold weather; typically around –15°F (–26°C).
The accelerator pedal will not respond to pressing; this is done so the
engine oil can be properly circulated to avoid engine damage from lack
of lubrication. A timer will begin a countdown from 30 seconds, then OK
TO DRIVE will display once the counter has reached 0 (zero) and the
accelerator pedal will respond to pressing.
OK TO DRIVE (Diesel engine only)— Displayed when the time
counter has reached 0 (zero) and the engine is sufficiently warm enough
to drive in extremely cold weather (refer to the ENGINE WARMING
description mentioned previously).
DRIVE TO CLEAN EXHAUST FILTER (Diesel engine only)—
Displayed when the engine control module detects the Diesel Particulate
Filter (DPF) is full of particulates and that the vehicle is not being
operated in a manner to allow automatic cleaning. The vehicle operator
has to drive the vehicle above 30 mph (48 km/h) for at least 20 minutes

to clean the DPF. This will continue to be displayed until an adequate
drive cycle is completed. This message is NORMAL.Note:
Power-Take-Off (PTO) and/or Stationary Elevated Idle (SEIC) must be
disabled in order to initiate Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) cleaning.
CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER (Diesel engine only)— Displays
continuously when the vehicle has entered the cleaning mode normally;
or when cleaning the filter after a DRIVE TO CLEAN EXHAUST FILTER
message was previously displayed. When this message is displayed
various engine actions will raise the exhaust temperature in the DPF to
clean the exhaust filter. After the exhaust filter is cleaned, the exhaust
temperature will fall back to normal levels. This message is NORMAL.
WARNING:When the CLEANING EXHAUST FILTER message
appears in the message center do not park near flammable
materials, vapors and structures until filter cleaning is complete.
EXHAUST FILTER DRIVE COMPLETE (Diesel engine only)—
Displayed when the vehicle has completed the adequate drive cycle to
clean the DPF. This message is NORMAL.
WARNING:Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in dry grass
or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up the
engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.
OIL LIFE CHANGE SOON (Gas engine only)— Displayed when the
engine oil life remaining is 5 percent or less. When oil life left is between
5% and 0%, the ENGINE OIL CHANGE SOON message will be displayed.
OIL CHANGE REQUIRED (Gas engine only)— Displayed when the
oil life left reaches 0%, the OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message will be
displayed. OIL LIFE OK displays after you have changed the oil.

•The snow plow prep package includes a unique powertrain control
strategy which is required for diesel engine cooling during highway
driving with the snowplow raised.
Operating the vehicle with the snowplow attached
Do not use your vehicle for snow removal until it has been driven at
least 500 miles (800 km).
The attached snowplow blade restricts airflow to the radiator, and may
cause the engine to run at a higher temperature: Attention to engine
temperature is especially important when outside temperatures are
above freezing. Angle the blade to maximize airflow to the radiator and
monitor engine temperature to determine whether a left or right angle
provides the best performance.
Follow the severe duty schedule in yourscheduled maintenance
informationfor engine oil and transmission fluid change intervals.
Snowplowing with your airbag-equipped vehicle
Your vehicle is equipped with a driver and passenger airbag
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) The SRS is designed to activate in
certain frontal and offset frontal collisions when the vehicle sustains
sufficient longitudinal deceleration.
Careless or high speed driving while plowing snow which results in
sufficient vehicle decelerations can deploy the airbag. Such driving also
increases the risk of accidents.
WARNING:All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver,
should always properly wear their safety belts, even when an air
bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) is provided.
Never remove or defeat the “tripping mechanisms” designed into the
snow removal equipment by its manufacturer. Doing so may cause
damage to the vehicle and the snow removal equipment as well as
possible airbag deployment.
WARNING:Do not attempt to service, repair, or modify the air
bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) or its fuses. See your
Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer.
