FUEL QUALITY
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:
Your warranty will not cover damage
caused by using an improper type of fuel or
fuel additive.
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.
You should use Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel
fuel (also known as ULSD) designated as
number 1-D or 2-D with a maximum of
15-ppm sulfur in your diesel vehicle. You
may operate your vehicle on diesel fuels
containing up to 20% biodiesel, also
known as B20. These fuels should meet
the ASTM D975 diesel or the ASTM D7467
B6-B20 biodiesel industry specifications.
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 your 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. Fuel Requirements - Choosing The
Right Fuel: Vehicles Operated
Where Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel
Is Not Required
For the engine to operate reliably on
low-sulfur or high-sulfur diesel fuel, the
engine must be a factory built high-sulfur
engine (available as a dealer order option
for select markets) or an ultra low sulfur
diesel fuel configured engine that has been
retrofitted for high-sulfur diesel fuel using
Ford Motor Company dealer service parts.
Failure to use retrofit components other
than those available through your
authorized dealer will result in coolant
system damage, engine overheating,
selective catalyst reduction system or
diesel particulate filter damage and
possible base engine damage.
Use only a diesel engine configured for use
with high sulfur diesel fuel in markets with
diesel fuel that has sulfur content greater
than 15 ppm. Using low sulfur diesel fuel
(16–500 ppm) or high sulfur diesel fuel
(greater than 500 ppm) in a diesel engine
designed to use only Ultra Low Sulfur
Diesel fuel may result in damage to engine
emission control devices and the
aftertreatment system, potentially
rendering the vehicle inoperable.
Vehicles with engines configured for use
with high sulfur diesel fuel are only
available for sale in countries where ultra
low sulfur diesel fuel is generally not
available or mandated by the government.
Vehicles originally sold in a ultra low sulfur
diesel fuel market that are subsequently
exported to non- ultra low sulfur diesel fuel
markets will need to be retrofitted (at the
customer
’s expense using Ford authorized
dealer service parts) in order to be reliably
operated on non- ultra low sulfur diesel
fuel.

Super Duty (TFA) Fuel and Refueling

Biodiesel
WARNING
Do not use home heating oil,
agricultural fuel, raw fats and oils,
waste cooking greases, biodiesel
fuels greater than 20% or any diesel fuel
not intended for highway use. Damage to
the fuel injection system, engine and
exhaust catalyst can occur if an improper
fuel is used. Do not add gasoline, gasohol
or alcohol to diesel fuel. This practice
creates a serious fire hazard and engine
performance problems. You may operate your vehicle on diesel
fuels containing up to 20% biodiesel, also
known as B20.
Biodiesel fuel is a chemically converted
product from renewable fuel sources, such
as vegetable oils, animal fats and waste
cooking greases.
To help achieve acceptable engine
performance and durability when using
biodiesel in your vehicle:
•
Confirm the biodiesel content of the
fuel to be B20 (20% biodiesel) or less
• Only use biodiesel fuel of good quality
that complies with industry standards
• Follow the recommended service
maintenance intervals. See General
Maintenance Information (page 58).
• Do not store biodiesel fuel in the fuel
tank for more than 1 month
• Consider changing brands or reducing
biodiesel content if you have cold
temperature fuel gelling issues or a
frequent LOW FUEL PRESSURE
message appearing
• Do NOT use raw oils, fats or waste
cooking greases Use of biodiesel in concentrations greater
than 20% may cause damage to your
vehicle, including engine and/or exhaust
after-treatment hardware (exhaust
catalyst and particulate filter) failures.
Concentrations greater than 20% can also
cause fuel filter restrictions that may result
in a lack of power or damage to fuel
system components, including fuel pump
and fuel injector failures.
SAE 5W-40 or SAE 15W-40 oil is
recommended for fuels with greater than
5% biodiesel (B5). Refer to the Special
operating conditions section under the
Schedule Maintenance chapter for more
information about oil change intervals and
other maintenance when operating on
biodiesel.
Look for a label on the fuel pump to
confirm the amount of biodiesel contained
in a diesel fuel. Biodiesel content is often
indicated with the letter B followed by the
percent of biodiesel in the fuel. For
example, B20 indicates a fuel containing
20% biodiesel. Ask the service station
attendant to confirm the biodiesel content
of a diesel fuel if you do not see a label on
the fuel pump.
Biodiesel fuels degrade more easily than
diesel fuels not containing biodiesel and
should not be stored in the fuel tank for
more than 1 month. If you plan to park or
store your vehicle for more than 1 month,
then you should empty your vehicle fuel
tank of biodiesel fuel. You should fill the
tank with a pure petroleum-based diesel
fuel and run your vehicle for a minimum of
30 minutes.
Note:
Degraded or oxidized biodiesel can
damage fuel system seals and plastics and
corrode steel parts.
During cold weather, if you have problems
operating on biodiesel, you may need to
use a diesel fuel with lower biodiesel
content, try another brand, or discontinue
the use of biodiesel.

6. Once the level in the diesel exhaust
fluid bottle has stopped dropping,
return the container to the vertical
position slightly below the diesel
exhaust fluid filler port and let any
diesel exhaust fluid drain out of the
spout. DO NOT try to continue to add
diesel exhaust fluid to the tank by
shaking or repositioning the container
to induce flow. This may cause spilling
and overfill the tank. Overfilling the
diesel exhaust fluid tank can cause
damage to the tank.
7. Once the spout has drained, remove the spout from the diesel exhaust fluid
filler port and install the blue cap on
the diesel exhaust fluid filler port.
8. Remove the spout from the diesel exhaust fluid container and install the
cap back on the bottle.
9. If the container is empty, discard the empty container, or recycle if possible.
If there is diesel exhaust fluid left in the
container, retain it for later use. The
spout is re-useable; after use, rinse it
with clean water and store the spout
to keep it clean. Do not use the diesel
exhaust fluid spout with any other
chemicals.
10. Wipe away any diesel exhaust fluid that has spilled on painted surfaces
with water and a damp cloth.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid filling station nozzle
fill
Filling the diesel exhaust fluid tank using
a nozzle is similar to a normal fuel fill. The
nozzle will shut off automatically when the
tank is full. Do not continue to fill the tank
as this may cause spilling and overfill can
cause damage to the tank. Note:
Some filling station nozzles may
prevent filling of your diesel exhaust fluid
tank due to a magnetic mechanism in the
nozzle. This is not a problem with your
vehicle. To refill your tank either locate
another filling station or use a bottle to refill
the tank.
Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid tank in
cold climates
Diesel exhaust fluid will freeze below 12°F
(-11°C); however, your vehicle is equipped
with an automatic preheating system
which allows the diesel exhaust fluid
system to operate below 12°F (-11°C).
When your vehicle is not in operation for
an extended period with temperatures at
or below 12°F (-11°C), the diesel exhaust
fluid tank could freeze. If the tank is
OVERFILLED and freezes, it could be
damaged, therefore DO NOT OVERFILL.
To prevent overfilling of the diesel exhaust
fluid tank when filling with a bottle, Ford
recommends using Motorcraft® diesel
exhaust fluid. Additionally, if the
information display indicates EXHAUST
FLUID UNDER 1/2 FULL, you should only
add a MAXIMUM of 2 gallons (6.7L) of
diesel exhaust fluid to the tank to prevent
freeze damage due to overfilling. If the
information display indicates EXHAUST
FLUID LEVEL OK, do not add diesel
exhaust fluid.
Contaminated Diesel Exhaust Fluid or
inoperative Selective Catalytic
Reduction system Selective catalytic reduction
systems are sensitive to
contamination of the diesel
exhaust fluid. USE ONLY API or ISO 22241
CERTIFIED DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID. If the
selective catalytic reduction system
becomes contaminated or inoperative, the
diesel exhaust fluid light will illuminate and
exhaust fluid system fault messages will
appear in the information display.

WARNINGS
To reduce the risk of personal injury,
make sure the engine is cool before
unscrewing the coolant pressure
relief cap. The cooling system is under
pressure; steam and hot liquid can come
out forcefully when the cap is loosened
slightly. Do not add coolant further than the
MAX mark.
Note:
Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling
system sealants, or additives as they can
cause damage to the engine cooling or
heating systems. This damage would not
be covered under your vehicle ’s warranty.
Note: During normal vehicle operation, the
engine coolant may change color from
orange to pink or light red. As long as the
engine coolant is clear and uncontaminated,
this color change does not indicate the
engine coolant has degraded nor does it
require the engine coolant to be drained, the
system to be flushed, or the engine coolant
to be replaced. •
Do not mix different colors or types of
coolant in your vehicle. Make sure the
correct coolant is used. Mixing of
engine coolants may harm your
engine ’s cooling system. The use of an
improper coolant may harm engine and
cooling system components and may
void the warranty. Use engine coolant
meeting the Ford specification. See
Capacities and Specifications (page
54).
• In case of emergency, a large amount
of water without engine coolant may
be added in order to reach a vehicle
service location. In this instance, the
cooling system must be drained,
chemically cleaned with Motorcraft
Premium Cooling System Flush, and
refilled with prediluted engine coolant
as soon as possible. Water alone
(without engine coolant) can cause
engine damage from corrosion,
overheating or freezing.
• Do not use alcohol, methanol, 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 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). See
Technical Specifications
(page 56).
Note: Generic coolants marketed 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.

Super Duty (TFA) Maintenance

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. When you are sure
that all the pressure has been released,
use the cloth to turn it
counterclockwise and remove the cap.
3. 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.
4. 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 2000 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.

Super Duty (TFA) Maintenance

Ford Motor Company has recommended
maintenance intervals for various parts
and component systems based upon
engineering testing. Ford Motor Company
relies upon this testing to determine the
most appropriate mileage for replacement
of oils and fluids to protect your vehicle at
the lowest overall cost to you and
recommends against maintenance
schedules that deviate from the scheduled
maintenance information.
We strongly recommend the use of only
genuine Ford, Motorcraft or
Ford-authorized re-manufactured
replacement parts engineered for your
vehicle.
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
Make sure you perform the following basic
maintenance checks and inspections every
month or at six-month intervals. Check every month
Air filter restriction gauge.
Fuel and water separator. Drain if necessary (or if indicated by the information display). Tires (including spare) for wear and proper pressure.
Holes and slots in the tail pipe to make sure they are functional and clear of debris.
