2013 FORD F750 coolant

Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use
prediluted engine coolant for optimum cooling system and engine
protection.
What You Should Know About Fail-Safe Cooling (If Equipped)
(Gasoline Engine Only)
WARNING:If fail-safe cooling activates, pull off the road as soon
as safely possible and turn the engine off. The engine may
automatically shut off while driving without further indication.
If the engine coolant supply is depleted, this feature allows the vehicle to
be driven temporarily before incremental component damage is incurred.
The fail-safe distance depends on ambient temperatures, vehicle load and
terrain.
How Fail-Safe Cooling Works
If the engine begins to overheat:
•The engine coolant temperature gauge moves to the red (hot) area.
•The information display indicates the engine is overheating.
•The service engine soon indicator illuminates.
If the engine reaches a preset over-temperature condition, the engine
automatically switches to alternating cylinder operation. Each disabled
cylinder acts as an air pump and cools the engine.
When Fail-Safe Mode Is Activated
WARNING:Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the
engine is running or hot.
Note:Driving the vehicle without repairing the engine problem increases
the chance of engine damage. Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer
as soon as possible.
You have limited engine power when in the fail-safe mode, so drive the
vehicle with caution. The vehicle is not able to maintain high-speed
operation and the engine runs rough. Remember that the engine is
capable of completely shutting down automatically to prevent engine
damage; therefore:
1. Pull off the road as soon as safely possible and turn off the engine.
2. Arrange for the vehicle to be taken to an authorized dealer.
3. If this is not possible, wait a short period for the engine to cool.
4. Check the coolant level and replenish if low.
5. Restart the engine and take your vehicle to an authorized dealer.

Fuel System
Note:During extended periods of vehicle storage (30 days or more),
fuel may deteriorate due to oxidation. Add a quality gas stabilizer
product to the vehicle fuel system whenever actual or expected storage
periods exceed 30 days. Follow the instructions on the additive label.
The vehicle should then be operated at idle speed to circulate the
additive throughout the fuel system.
•Fill the fuel tank(s) with high-quality fuel until the first automatic
shutoff of the fuel pump nozzle.
Cooling System
•Protect against freezing temperatures.
•When removing vehicle from storage, check coolant fluid level.
Confirm there are no cooling system leaks, and fluid is at the
recommended level.
Battery
Note:If battery cables are disconnected, it is necessary to reset memory
features.
•Check and recharge as necessary. Keep connections clean.
•If storing your vehicle for more than 30 days without recharging the
battery, it may be advisable to disconnect the battery cables to make
sure battery charge is maintained for quick starting.
Brakes
•Make sure brakes and parking brake are fully released.
Tires
•Maintain recommended air pressure.
Miscellaneous
•Make sure all linkages, cables, levers and pins under the vehicle are
covered with grease to prevent rust.
•Move vehicles at least 25 feet (8 meters) every 15 days to lubricate
working parts and prevent corrosion.

Removing Your Vehicle from Storage
When your vehicle is ready to come out of storage, do the following:
•Wash your vehicle to remove any dirt or grease film build-up on
window surfaces.
•Check windshield wipers for any deterioration.
•Check under the hood for any foreign material that may have
collected during storage (mice or squirrel nests).
•Check the exhaust for any foreign material that may have collected
during storage.
•Check tire pressures and set tire inflation per the Tire Label.
•Check brake pedal operation. Drive the vehicle 15 feet (4.5 meters)
back and forth to remove rust build-up.
•Check fluid levels (including engine coolant, engine oil and fuel) to
make sure there are no leaks and fluids are at recommended levels.
•If the battery was removed, clean the battery cable ends and inspect.
Contact your authorized dealer if you have any concerns or issues.

Additives and Chemicals
This owner’s manual and the Ford Workshop Manual list the
recommended additives and chemicals for your vehicle. We do not
recommend using chemicals or additives not approved by us as part of
your vehicle’s normal maintenance. Please consult your warranty
information.
Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a normal operating characteristic
and, by itself, does not necessarily indicate a concern or that the fluid
needs to be changed. However, a qualified expert, such as the
factory-trained technicians at your dealership, should inspect discolored
fluids that also show signs of overheating or foreign material
contamination immediately.
Make sure to change your vehicle’s oils and fluids at the specified
intervals or in conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a viable way to
change fluid for many vehicle sub-systems during scheduled
maintenance. It is critical that systems are flushed only with new fluid
that is the same as that required to fill and operate the system or using a
Ford-approved flushing chemical.
Owner Checks and Services
Certain basic maintenance checks and inspections should be performed
monthly or at six month intervals.
Daily Owner Checks
EngineAir filter restriction gauge.
Engine oil level.
Engine coolant level.
Brake SystemAir brake reservoir automatic drain valve
operation.
Drain the air brake reservoir (manual valve).
TransmissionVisually check for fluid leakage.
Steering SystemPower steering fluid level.

Every Oil Change
ClutchLubricate the clutch release cross shaft and all
linkages.
Check the clutch fluid level.
Fuel SystemDrain the accumulated water or sediment from
the fuel tank(s).
Steering SystemLubricate the steering shaft(s), U-joints and
splines if equipped with grease fittings.
Lubricate the front axle spindle pins.
Lubricate the steering linkage when equipped
with grease fittings.
Lubricate the power steering gear output shaft.
*Coolant protection checks should be made just prior to the onset of
freezing weather, where applicable. If coolant is dirty or rusty in
appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with the
prescribed solution of cooling system fluid and distilled water. Use only
permanent type coolant that meets specifications as listed in your engine
operator’s manual. See the engine manufacturer’s operating guide for
supplemental corrosion inhibitor specifications.
Periodic Component/System Checks
The following are vehicle checks that should be made periodically either
by the owner or a qualified technician. It is recommended that
deficiencies be brought to the attention of your dealer or another
qualified service outlet as soon as possible so advice regarding the need
for service or replacement can be obtained.
Frequency Recommended Action
At every engine start up. Check ABS lamp operation.
After first 500 and 1000 miles (800
and 1600 km), then every 500 and
1000 mile (800 and 1600 km)
interval after tire removal or
replacement.Tighten the wheel mounting nuts
to the specified torque. See
Technical specificationsin the
Wheels and Tireschapter.
At least twice annually. Clean body and door drain holes.
As required. Clean windshield wiper blades.
