Installation – DFCM filter
1. Install the new filter into the filter bowl tabs and replace the seal on
the DFCM header (top portion of DFCM). Refer toMotorcraft part
numbersin theMaintenancechapter for the fuel filter kit part number.
2. Lube O-ring with lubricant packet in the filter kit. This will assist in
making sure the filter gets properly tightened.
3. Reinstall the lower portion of the
housing by slowly turning it
clockwise onto DFCM housing,
allowing fuel to soak into the fuel
filter element. Tighten the lower
housing until it contacts the
mechanical stop.
Note:The engine will not run
properly if the DFCM fuel filter is
not installed in the housing or if the
filter bowl is not tightened to the
mechanical stop.
The system will need to be purged of air after removal/changing of the
filter. SeePurging air from the fuel system after DFCM and engine
mounted fuel filter replacementfollowing.
Removal - Engine-mounted fuel filter
The engine-mounted fuel filter is a plastic disposable cartridge. To
remove it, do the following:
1. Disconnect both fuel lines by
squeezing the connector tabs and
pulling the lines straight off.
Note:Although the fuel system is
not fully pressurized when the
vehicle is off, some residual
pressure may remain in the fuel
system since it can take some time
for the pressure to completely bleed
off. Therefore, it is recommended to
place a shop rag below the filter
connectors to absorb the small amount of fuel that will drain.

2. Rotate the filter fully
counterclockwise until the peg is at
the far end of the slot.
3. Pull the filter straight up from the bracket and discard the filter.
Installation – Engine-mounted fuel filter
1. Install the new filter into the filter bracket. Turn the filter clockwise to
lock it in place.
2. Reconnect both fuel lines.
Using a fuel which has more than average impurities may require
the fuel filter to be replaced more frequently than the service
interval specifies.
The system will need to be purged of air after removal/changing of the
filter. SeePurging air from the fuel system after DFCM and
engine-mounted fuel filter replacementfollowing.
Purging air from the fuel system after DFCM and engine mounted
fuel filter replacement
Turn the ignition key to on for 30 seconds, then turn it to off. Do this a
total of six times in a row to purge any trapped air from the fuel system.
After filter service, a no start or rough running engine may indicate that
air is entering the system through the filter bowl seal or drain. Make sure
the drain is tight and the filter bowl has been tightened to the
mechanical stop.
DIESEL EXHAUST SYSTEM: OXIDATION CATALYST/DIESEL
PARTICULATE FILTER SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The DPF
is an inline filter in the exhaust system which reduces carbon emissions
by trapping exhaust particles before they reach the tailpipe. The DPF
looks similar to a traditional exhaust catalyst, except larger, and is part
of the exhaust system under the vehicle. The DPF is coupled to a diesel
oxidation catalyst, that reduces the amount of harmful exhaust emitted

Resonator/Tailpipe assembly maintenance
WARNING:Failure to maintain the functional holes, in the
tailpipe section of the exhaust, clean and free of debris or
foreign material may result in the holes becoming blocked or plugged.
Do not modify or remove the tail-pipe section. Blocked or plugged
holes or removal/modification of the system could result in elevated
exhaust gas temperatures which may result in vehicle/property damage
or personal injury.
WARNING:The normal operating temperature of the exhaust
system is very high. Never work around or attempt to repair any
part of the exhaust system until it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the diesel oxidation catalytic converter and/or the
diesel particulate filter (DPF). The diesel oxidation catalytic converter
and/or the DPF heats up to a high temperature after only a short
period of engine operation and can stay hot even after the engine is
turned off. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal
injury.
Note:Additions of aftermarket devices or modifications to the exhaust
system can reduce the effectiveness of the exhaust system as well as
cause damage to the exhaust system and/or engine. These actions may
also affect the vehicle’s warranty. See theWarranty Guidefor more
information.
The diesel resonator tail-pipe assembly is a uniquely functioning device
that accompanies the Oxidation Catalyst/DPF assembly. The assembly
serves multiple functions. First it serves as an acoustic device to
attenuate exhaust noise. Second it provides an exit path for the exhaust
from the vehicle. It also is designed to help control the temperature of
the exhaust during DPF regeneration events. The visible holes in each
leg of the twin tip and the holes under the shield just inboard of the
right rear tire(s) are functional. The holes need to be kept clear of
mud/debris or foreign material to maintain proper function of the
exhaust system. Clean and remove debris or foreign material if present
as needed. Spraying with a hose during regular washing of vehicle should
help keep holes clean and clear of debris or foreign material.

recommended oils because they will provide acceptable engine
performance and durability. These oils are also compatible with the
emission control equipment of your vehicle to meet the more stringent
emission standards.
The use of correct oil viscosities for diesel engines is important for
satisfactory operation. Determine which oil viscosity best suits the
temperature range you expect to encounter for the next service interval
from the following SAE viscosity grade chart.
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).
The American Petroleum Institute
(API) service symbol is used to
identify the proper engine oil for
your engine. The API service symbol
will be included on the oil container
you purchase. The API displays the
oil performance category in the top
half of symbol and the viscosity
grade in the center of the symbol.

•Do not use alcohol, methanol or brine or any engine coolants mixed
with alcohol or methanol antifreeze (coolant). Alcohol and other
liquids can cause engine damage from overheating or freezing.
•Do not add extra inhibitors or unapproved additives to the coolant.
These can be harmful and compromise the corrosion protection of the
engine coolant.
Add prediluted engine coolant meeting the Ford specification
(Motorcraft® Orange Antifreeze/Coolant Prediluted). SeeCapacities
and Specificationsfor more information. Note: Generic coolants for all
makes and models may not meet the Ford specification and may cause
damage to the cooling system. This damage may void the warranty.
For vehicles with overflow coolant systems with a non-pressurized cap
on the coolant recovery system, add coolant to the coolant recovery
reservoir when the engine is cool. Add prediluted engine coolant
(Motorcraft® Orange Antifreeze/Coolant Prediluted) to the FULL COLD
level. For all other vehicles which have a coolant degas system with a
pressurized cap, or if it is necessary to remove the coolant pressure
relief cap on the radiator of a vehicle with an overflow system, follow
these steps to add engine coolant.
1. Turn the engine off and let it cool.
2. When the engine is cool, wrap a thick cloth around the coolant
pressure relief cap on the coolant reservoir (a translucent plastic bottle).
Slowly turn cap counterclockwise until pressure begins to release.
3. When you are sure that all the pressure has been released, use the
cloth to turn it counterclockwise and remove the cap.
4. Fill the coolant reservoir slowly with prediluted engine coolant to
within the FULL COLD level, or between the MIN and MAX marks
(within the COLD FILL RANGE), as listed on the engine coolant
reservoir. If you removed the radiator cap in an overflow system, fill the
radiator until the coolant is visible and radiator is almost full. If coolant is
added to bring the level within the COLD FILL RANGE when the engine
is not cold, the system may remain under filled.
5. Replace the cap. Turn until tightly installed. Cap must be tightly
installed to prevent coolant loss.
Whenever coolant has been added, the coolant level in the coolant
reservoir should be checked the next few times you drive the vehicle. If
necessary, add enough prediluted engine coolant to bring the coolant
level to the proper level.

If you have to add more than 1.0 quart (1.0 liter) of engine coolant per
month, have your authorized dealer check the engine cooling system.
Your cooling system may have a leak. Operating an engine with a low level
of coolant can result in engine overheating and possible engine damage.
Engine and secondary cooling system refill procedure
The following procedure should be used when refilling the engine or
secondary cooling systems after it has been drained or become extremely
low.
1. Before you remove the cap, turn the engine off and let it cool.
2. When the engine is cool, wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly
turn cap counterclockwise until pressure begins to release.
3. Step back while the pressure releases.
4. When you are sure that all the pressure has been released, use the
cloth to turn it counterclockwise and remove the cap.
5. Slowly add prediluted engine coolant to the coolant reservoir until the
coolant level is within the COLD FILL RANGE as listed on the reservoir.
6. Reinstall the pressure relief cap.
7. Start and run the engine at 2,000 rpm for 2 minutes.
8. Shut engine off, and remove the pressure relief cap as previously
outlined.
9. If required, add prediluted engine coolant to the coolant reservoir until
the coolant level is within the COLD FILL RANGE as listed on the
reservoir.
10. Engine cooling system: Repeat Step 5 until the coolant level has
stabilized (is no longer dropping after each step) AND the upper radiator
hose at the radiator is warm to the touch (indicating that the engine
thermostat is open and coolant is flowing through the radiator).
Secondary cooling system: Repeat Step 5 until the coolant level has
stabilized (is no longer dropping after each step) AND the lower
passenger side of the secondary radiator is warm to the touch
(indicating secondary thermostat is open and coolant is flowing
through the entire system).
11. Reinstall the pressure relief cap. Shut the engine off and let it cool.
12. Check the coolant level in the reservoir before you drive your vehicle
the next few times (with the engine cool).
