2015 FORD F650 engine oil

3. Do not press the accelerator pedal, service brake pedal, or clutch
pedal (manual transmission).
4. The parking brake must remain set.
On average, depending on filter level and other factors, the process takes
20–30 minutes to complete. The DPF lamp turns off when the process is
complete. Repeat Steps 1–5, if parked regeneration is interrupted.
To Discontinue Parked Regeneration
Press any of the floor pedals to discontinue parked regeneration.
Maintenance and Service
The DPF can retain a relatively large amount of residual ash and provide
many miles and hours of maintenance-free operation. At some point,
generally beyond 150000 miles (240000 kilometers) or 5000 hours of
operation (whichever comes first), the DPF requires professional
cleaning to remove the accumulated ash.
The exact number of miles or hours of operation vary greatly depending
upon vehicle and engine loading and operating conditions, ash content of
the engine oil, and quality of the diesel fuel used in your truck. Adhering
to your engine manufacturer’s recommended oil and fuel specifications
maximizes the miles and hours of operation before a DPF professional
cleaning is required. See your engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual for
more details about recommended maintenance and service of your DPF.
Exhaust Outlet Assembly
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. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury.
Note:Do not modify or remove this device. Modification of the system
or additions of aftermarket devices can reduce the effectiveness of the
system, as well as cause damage to the exhaust system or engine. Any
modifications may also invalidate the vehicle or engine warranty. See
your warranty information.
Note:Blocked or plugged holes or modification to, or removal of, the
outlet assembly could result in elevated exhaust temperatures that may
result in vehicle or property damage or personal injury.
The exhaust outlet assembly on your vehicle is a uniquely functioning
device that accompanies the DPF assembly. It can help control the
temperature of the exhaust during the DPF regeneration process.

The inlet holes in the side of the assembly are functional. These holes
allow outside air to enter into the outlet assembly. Keep the holes clear
of mud and other foreign material to maintain proper functionality of the
system. One way to keep the holes clear is to spray the outlet assembly
with a hose when washing your vehicle. Failure to keep the functional
holes clear of foreign material may result in blocking or plugging of the
holes.
SWITCHING OFF A DIESEL ENGINE
Allow the engine to idle for three to five minutes before shutting it
down. The larger the engine, the greater the need is for this idling
period.
Note:Try to limit engine idle to 10 minutes. Excessive idling reduces
fuel economy.
ENGINE AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:In the event of engine shutdown, make sure the
vehicle is safely off the road and the problem is remedied prior to
returning to the road. Failure to remove the vehicle from the road
could result in an accident, causing serious injury or death.
This feature either illuminates a light in the instrument cluster or sounds
a tone (or both) indicating that the engine is being shut down due to
high coolant temperature, low engine oil pressure, high diesel particulate
filter soot loading or low engine coolant level. If any of these conditions
exist, the engine automatically shuts down.
If the engine shuts down, you can restart and operate it for 30 seconds
at a time or until you correct the problem. Do not attempt to use this
restarting feature to drive your vehicle very far as serious engine damage
could result.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:Failure to follow engine block heater instructions
could result in property damage or personal injury.
WARNING:Do not use your heater with ungrounded electrical
systems or two-pronged (cheater) adapters. There is a risk of
electrical shock.

Diesel Engine
WARNING:Using low sulfur (16-500 ppm) or high sulfur
(greater than 500 ppm) diesel fuel in a diesel engine designed to
use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel causes certain emission
components to malfunction which may also cause the Service Engine
Soon light to illuminate indicating an emissions-related concern. It may
also increase the likelihood of engine oil dilution with fuel which may
lead to major engine damage
WARNING:Do not mix diesel fuel with gasoline, gasohol or
alcohol. This could cause an explosion resulting in personal
injury.
WARNING:Do not add gasoline, gasohol or alcohol to diesel
fuel. This practice creates a serious fire hazard resulting in
personal injury and engine performance problems.
WARNING:Do not use starting fluid such as ether or gasoline.
Such fluids can cause immediate explosive damage to the engine
and possible personal injury.
WARNING:Do not use home heating oil or any diesel fuel not
intended for highway use. Red dye is used to identify fuels
intended for agricultural and non-highway use. Damage to the fuel
injection system, engine and exhaust catalyst can occur if an improper
fuel is used.
Note:Use of any fuel other than those recommended may cause
powertrain damage, a loss of vehicle performance, and repairs may not
be covered under warranty.
Use only Ultra Low Sulfur (15 ppm Sulfur Maximum) No. 1-D or 2-D
diesel fuel in your diesel engine. Diesel fuel No. 1-D or winter diesel fuel
blend of No. 2-D is recommended at ambient temperatures below 20°F
(-7°C). Diesel fuel that is blended with 20% biodiesel maximum may be
used.
Fuel and Refueling105

Biodiesel fuel is a product converted from renewable fuel sources,
including vegetable oil, animal fat and cooking oil. You should not use
raw, refined, and recycled vegetable/plant oils, greases, and animal fats.
Biodiesel fuel blends must meet requirements of ASTM D7467 standard
specification. See your engine operator’s manual for more information
and restrictions about the use of biodiesel fuel.
Octane Recommendations - Gasoline Engines
Regular unleaded gasoline with a
pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87
is recommended. Some stations
offer fuels posted as Regular with
an octane rating below 87,
particularly in high altitude areas. Do not use fuels with a posted octane
rating below 87.
Do not be concerned if your engine sometimes knocks lightly. However, if
it knocks heavily under most driving conditions while you are using fuel
with the recommended octane rating, see an authorized dealer to
prevent any engine damage.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Gasoline Engine
Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse
effect on powertrain components.
If you have run out of fuel:
•You may need to cycle the ignition from off to on several times after
refueling to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to
the engine. On restarting, cranking time takes a few seconds longer
than normal.
•If your vehicle is equipped with dual fuel tanks, adding four–five
gallons (15–19 liters) of fuel is enough to restart the engine. If your
vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep grade, more than four–five
gallons (15–19 liters) may be required.
•The service engine soon indicator may come on. For more
information on the service engine soon indicator, see theInstrument
Clusterchapter.
SeeGeneral informationin theInformation Displayschapter for
information on Miles to Empty.
Diesel Engine
Avoid running out of fuel as this allows air to enter the fuel system,
which makes restarting your vehicle difficult.

•DEF freezes below 12°F (-11°C). Your vehicle is equipped with an
automatic pre-heating system which allows the DEF system to
operate below 12°F (-11°C).
•Do not store the DEF bottle in your vehicle. If it leaks, it could cause
damage to interior components or release an ammonia odor inside
your vehicle.
•Store DEF out of direct sunlight and in temperatures between
23°F–68°F (-5°C–20°C).
NOISE EMISSIONS
In order to keep to the federal exterior noise regulations, your vehicle
may be equipped with noise emission items. Depending on your vehicle
configuration, it may have all or some of the following items:
Air Intake System:Inspect the air cleaner. Do not alter its location. Do
not alter inlet and outlet piping.
Body:Inspect wheel well splash shields, cab shields and under hood
insulation for deterioration, dislocation and orientation.
Cooling System:
•Inspect the fan for blade damage. If you find any damage, replace
with the recommended parts. Inspect for fan-to-shroud interference
and any damage to shroud, such as cracks and holes.
•Do not change fan ratio or alter fan spacer dimensions and positions.
•Inspect fan clutch for proper operation. Make sure the fan is
disengaged when cooling of the engine is not required.
•Inspect radiator shutters (if equipped) for proper operation. The
shutters should be open during normal operating temperatures.
Engine:Valve covers and block covers damp-out engine mechanical
noise. If they need replacing, make sure to replace them with the
recommended parts. Check for mechanical isolations.
Transmission Enclosure:Inspect for cracks, holes and tears. Clean any
deposits, such as oil, dirt and stones.
Exhaust System:
•Inspect for leaks at various joint connections and loose clamps.
•
Perform a visual inspection for cracks or holes in the muffler and tail pipe.
•Always use the recommended replacement parts.
•Do not change the tail pipe elbow or offset tail pipe orientation from the
standard position as originally received.
•To avoid abnormal changes in vehicle sound levels, it is necessary for the
owner to perform inspections and necessary maintenance at the intervals
shown in theScheduled Maintenancechapter.

If you install an electrical back up alarm, connect it to the backup lamp
circuit.
Parking
WARNING:When parking your vehicle, do not leave the
transmission in gear; if the key is in the on position and the
vehicle rolls, the engine could start. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in an unattended vehicle moving, possibly causing personal
injury or property damage.
Always use the parking brake. When parking on a grade, block the
wheels and turn the front wheels to one side so that if your vehicle rolls,
the front tires act against the curb to stop your vehicle. The front wheels
are more effective at stopping a rolling vehicle than the rear wheels.
Cold Weather
Note:Idling in cold weather does not heat the engine to its normal
operating temperature. Long periods of idling in cold weather can cause
a build-up of heavy deposits of carbon and rust on valve stems causing
them to stick which, in turn, can cause valvetrain damage.
Note:We recommend against using winter fronts, or other air-restrictive
devices mounted in front of the radiator on vehicles with
chassis-mounted charge air coolers, unless extremely cold weather
conditions exist. Airflow restriction can cause high exhaust temperatures,
power loss, excessive fan usage and a reduction in fuel economy. If you
must use a winter front, the device should have a permanent opening of
at least 120 square inches (774 square centimeters) directly in line with
the fan hub.
For best engine operation in temperatures of 32°F (0°C) or lower:
•Make sure the batteries are the correct type and are fully charged.
Check other electrical components to make sure they are in optimum
condition.
•Use a permanent-type engine coolant to protect the engine against
damage from freezing.
•If your vehicle is equipped with a water-fuel separator, drain it daily.
Fill the fuel tank at the end of daily operation to prevent
condensation in the fuel system.
•Use the proper engine oil and maintain it at its proper level.

BREAKING-IN
You need to break in new tires for approximately 300 miles
(480 kilometers). During this time, your vehicle may exhibit some unique
driving characteristics. Avoid driving too fast during the first 1000 miles
(1600 kilometers). Vary your speed frequently and change up through
the gears early. Do not labor the engine.
ECONOMICAL DRIVING
Several things affect your vehicle’s fuel economy, such as how you drive,
the conditions you drive under and how you maintain your vehicle.
You may improve your vehicle’s fuel economy by keeping these things in
mind:
•Accelerate and slow down in a smooth, moderate fashion.
•Drive at steady speeds without stopping.
•Anticipate stops; slowing down may eliminate the need to stop.
•Close the windows for high-speed driving.
•Drive at reasonable speeds. Traveling at 55 mph (88 km/h) uses 15%
less fuel than traveling at 65 mph (105 km/h).
•Keep the tires properly inflated and use only the recommended size.
•Use the recommended engine oil.
•Perform all regularly scheduled maintenance.
You may want to avoid doing these things since they may reduce your
vehicle’s fuel economy:
•Sudden or hard accelerations.
•Warm up your vehicle on cold mornings.
•Use the air conditioner or front defroster.
•Use the speed control in hilly terrain.
•Rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
•Carry unnecessary weight. Approximately 1 mpg (0.4 km/L) is lost for
every 400 pounds (180 kilograms) of weight carried).
•Add particular accessories to your vehicle (such as bug deflectors,
roll bars and light bars, running boards, ski racks).
•Drive with the wheels out of alignment.
