SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
The scheduled maintenance services in thescheduled maintenance
informationof this supplement are required because they are
considered essential to the life and performance of your vehicle.
Use only recommended fuel, lubricants, fluids and service parts
conforming to Ford specifications. Motorcraft® parts are designed and
built for best performance in your vehicle.
ENGINE OIL
Checking the engine oil level
Because it is normal to add some oil between oil changes, check your
engine oil level each time you stop for fuel. To check the engine oil level
consistently and accurately, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Have engine at normal operating temperature (at least into the
NORMAL range on the engine coolant temperature gauge).
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface, then turn off the engine and open
the hood.
3. Allow at least20 minutesafter engine shutdown to ensure that the oil
contained in the upper parts of the engine has returned to the oil pan.
4. Protecting yourself from engine heat, pull out the dipstick, wipe it
clean and reinsert fully.
5. Read oil level on both sides of dipstick and use highest level (reading)
for the actual engine oil level.
6. Maintain the oil level within the
crosshatch area on the dipstick by
adding oil as required. Do not
overfill the oil past the maximum
line as depicted by the arrow.
Engine oil specifications
It is important that only quality engine oils are used in your diesel engine
and it is changed at the recommended service interval. For normal or
severe service, use Motorcraft® oil or an equivalent oil conforming to
Ford specifications or API service categories CJ-4 as listed in the
Capacities and Specificationschapter. It is important to use the
