2012 FORD SUPER DUTY oil filter

1For severe duty usage, use SAE 5W-40 API CJ-4.
2For biodiesel (grades B6-B20) usage, use SAE 5W-40 or SAE
15W-40 API CJ-4.
An engine block heater is recommended at temperatures below –10°F
(–23°C).
A symbol has been developed by the
American Petroleum Institute (API)
to help you select the proper engine
oil. It will be included on the oil
container you purchase. The top
section of the symbol shows the oil
performance by the API designation. This should match the owner guide
recommendation. The center section will show the SAE viscosity grade
Changing the engine oil and oil filter
Your vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ that
calculates the proper oil change service interval. When the message
center indicates:OIL CHANGE REQUIRED, change the engine oil and
oil filter. See theMessage centersection of theInstrument Cluster
chapter for more information.
Refer toMotorcraft part numberslater in this chapter for the engine oil
filter part number. This filter protects your engine by filtering harmful,
abrasive or sludge particles and particles significantly smaller than most
available “will-fit” filters.

To change the engine oil and oil filter:
1. Unscrew the oil filter and oil pan drain plug and wait for the oil to drain.
Note:The oil pan drain plug only requires 1/4 turn to removal/install. A
3/8 inch socket drive may be used to assist with removal/installation, but be
careful not to over-tighten the plug during installation.
2. Replace the filter.
3. Reinstall the oil pan drain plug.
4. Refill the engine with new oil. For the proper capacity, see
Maintenance product specifications and capacitiesin this chapter.
5. Reset the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™. SeeMessage centerin the
Instrument Clusterchapter for more information.
WARNING:Do not handle a hot oil filter with bare hands.
WARNING:Continuous contact with used motor oil has caused
cancer in laboratory mice. Protect your skin by washing with
soap and water.
Engine lubrication for severe service operation
The following conditions define severe operation for which engine
operation with SAE 5W-40 API CJ-4 is recommended. Oil and oil filter
change intervals will be determined by the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™
as noted previously.
•
frequent or extended idling (over 10 minutes per hour of normal driving)
•low-speed operation/stationary use
•if vehicle is operated in sustained ambient temperatures below -10°F
(-23°C) or above 100°F (38°C)
•frequent low-speed operation, consistent heavy traffic less than
25 mph (40 km/h)
•operating in severe dust conditions
•operating the vehicle off road
•towing a trailer over 1,000 miles (1,600 km)
•sustained, high-speed driving at Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(maximum loaded weight for vehicle operation)
•
use of fuels with sulfur content other than ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD)
•use of high-sulfur diesel fuel

NOISE EMISSIONS WARRANTY, PROHIBITED TAMPERING ACTS
AND MAINTENANCE
On January 1, 1978, Federal regulation became effective governing the
noise emission on trucks over 10,000 lbs. (4,536 kg) GVWR (Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating). The following statements concerning prohibited
tampering acts and maintenance, and the noise warranty found in the
Warranty Guide, are applicable to complete chassis cabs over
10,000 lbs. (4,536 kg) GVWR.
Tampering with noise control system prohibited
Federal law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof: (1) The
removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes
of maintenance, repair or replacement of any device or element of design
incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior
to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or
(2) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has
been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.
Among those acts which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency may
presume to constitute tampering are the acts listed below:
•Removal of hood blanket, fender apron absorbers, fender apron
barriers, underbody noise shields or acoustically absorptive material.
•Tampering or rendering inoperative the engine speed governor, so as
to allow engine speed to exceed manufacturer’s specifications.
The complexity of the diesel engine makes it so the owner is discouraged
from attempting to perform maintenance other than the services
described in this supplement.
If you experience difficult starting, rough idling, excessive exhaust
smoke, a decrease in engine performance or excess fuel consumption,
perform the following checks:
•a plugged or disconnected air inlet system or engine air filter element.
•water in the fuel filter/water separator.
•a clogged fuel filter.
•contaminated fuel.
•air in the fuel system, due to loose connections.
•an open or pinched sensor hose.
•check engine oil level.
•wrong fuel or oil viscosity for climactic conditions.
If these checks do not help you correct the engine performance problem
you are experiencing, consult an authorized dealer.

•Try operating the starter switch several times. Should the switch be
corroded, this operation may clean the contacts or make the switch
temporarily operable until you can reach the dealer.
•If all electrical connections are tight and you need assistance to start,
refer toJump startingin theRoadside Emergencieschapter of your
Owner’s Guide.
If engine cranks but won’t start
Prolonged starter cranking (in excess of 10 seconds) could cause
damage to the starter motor.
•Check the fuel gauge. You may be out of fuel. If the gauge shows that
there is fuel in the tank, the trouble may be in the electrical system or
the fuel system. If equipped with an auxiliary tank, be sure that the
tank control switch is set for the tank with fuel and not on an empty
tank.
•Leaving the ignition key turned to on for over two minutes without
starting may make starting difficult because the glow plugs will cease
activation. Reset the system by turning the ignition key to off and
then back to on again.
If the engine runs hot
The following could cause the engine to overheat:
•Lack of coolant.
•Dirty cooling system.
•Plugged radiator fins, A/C condenser and/or oil cooler.
•Malfunctioning fan drive.
•Driving with frozen coolant.
•Sticking thermostat.
•Overloading or pulling heavy trailers during hot weather.
•Grill or radiator air blockage.
•Slipping or missing drive belt.
•Plugged or very dirty air filter.

If fuses burn out
Burned-out or blown fuses usually indicate an electrical short-circuit,
although a fuse may occasionally burn out from vibration. Insert a second
fuse. If this fuse immediately burns out and you cannot locate the cause,
return your vehicle to your dealer for a circuit check.
WARNING:Replacement fuses and circuit breakers must always
be the same rating as the original equipment shown. Never
replace a fuse or circuit breaker with one of a higher rating. Higher
rated fuses or circuit breakers could allow circuit overloading in the
event of a circuit malfunction, resulting in severe vehicle damage or
personal injury due to fire.
Refer to theOwner’s Guidefor replacement of fuses.
Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system speed limit and
Idle-only modes
If the vehicle’s speed is limited or in an idle-only mode, the SCR system
may be limiting the vehicle’s functions due to low or contaminated diesel
exhaust fluid (DEF). Check the DEF. SeeSelective catalytic reduction
(SCR) systemin theMaintenance and Specificationschapter for more
information.
