FUEL REQUIREMENTS - CHOOSING THE RIGHT FUEL: VEHICLES
OPERATED WHERE ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL IS
REQUIRED (UNITED STATES/CANADA/PUERTO RICO/U.S. VIRGIN
ISLANDS AND OTHER LOCALES)
Note:Damage caused by using the improper type of fuel or fuel additive
is not covered under your warranty.
Note:Do not blend used engine oil with diesel fuel under any
circumstances. Blending used oil with the fuel will significantly increase
your vehicle’s exhaust emissions and reduce engine life due to increased
internal wear.
Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel fuel (also known as ULSD) designated as number
1-D or 2-D with a maximum of 15 ppm sulfur should be used in your
diesel vehicle. This vehicle may be operated on diesel fuels containing up
to 20% biodiesel, also known as B20. These fuels should meet either the
ASTM D975 diesel or the ASTM D7467 B6-B20 biodiesel industry
specifications should be used. Outside of North America, use fuels
meeting EN590 or equivalent local market standard.
Using low sulfur diesel fuel
(16-500 ppm) or high sulfur diesel
fuel (greater than 500 ppm) in the
6.7L diesel engine will cause certain emission components to malfunction
which may also cause the service engine soon light to illuminate
indicating an emissions-related concern.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for cold temperature. For best results at
temperatures below 20°F (-7°C), it is recommended to use a diesel fuel
which has been seasonally adjusted for the ambient conditions. SeeCold
weather operationin theFuel and Refuelingchapter of this supplement.

Use only DEF certified by the
American Petroleum Institute (API)
such as Motorcraft® DEF or
equivalent meeting Ford
specification WSS-M99C130-A
and/or ISO 22241. Look for API
certification trademark shown here.
Repairs resulting from the use of
non-certified DEF products will not be covered by your vehicle’s
warranty.
Maintaining the purity of DEF is important to avoid malfunctions in the
SCR system.
If DEF is removed from the tank for repair work, etc., the same DEF
must not be used to refill the tank as its purity is no longer guaranteed.
To fill the DEF tank, see your authorized dealer or do the following
(before filling the DEF tank in cold climates, seeFilling the DEF tank
in cold climateslater in this section):
•DEF bottle fill with spout:
The following procedure applies to Motorcraft® DEF or similar DEF
bottles; for other brands or bottle types, refer to the instructions on the
bottle label.
1. Remove the cap from the DEF container. Remove the spout from the
bottle and insert the straw end into the bottle. Ensure that the arrow
above the nut is aligned with the bottle handle and the small tube end
extends into the far corner of the bottle. Twist the spout nut on the
container until it is tight.
2. Open the DEF filler port on the
vehicle by turning thebluecap
counterclockwise.Do not put DEF
in the fuel tank. This can cause
engine damage not covered by
your vehicle’s warranty.
