2015 FORD F650 check oil

Tires
•Maintain recommended air pressure.
Miscellaneous
•Make sure to cover all linkages, cables, levers and pins under your
vehicle with grease to prevent rust.
•Move vehicles at least 25 feet (8 meters) every 15 days to lubricate
working parts and prevent corrosion.
Removing Your Vehicle from Storage
When your vehicle is ready to come out of storage, do the following:
•Wash your vehicle to remove any dirt or grease film build-up on
window surfaces.
•Check windshield wipers for any deterioration.
•Check under the hood for any foreign material that may have
collected during storage (mice or squirrel nests).
•Check the exhaust for any foreign material that may have collected
during storage.
•Check tire pressures and set tire inflation per the Tire Label.
•Check brake pedal operation. Drive your vehicle 15 feet (4.5 meters)
back and forth to remove rust build-up.
•Check fluid levels (including engine coolant, engine oil and fuel) to
make sure there are no leaks and fluids are at recommended levels.
•If you remove the battery, clean the battery cable ends and inspect.
Contact an authorized dealer if you have any concerns or issues.

Oil-lubricated Front Wheel Bearings
During normal vehicle duty cycle, the lubricant and air inside the
hub/wheel cavity expands and, if not vented, causes pressure build-up
that could cause accelerated seal wear. You can use two venting methods
to prevent pressure build-up:
•A slit or small hole in the rubber check vent
•The window.
Over a period, if not routinely cleaned, a slight film of oil can collect dirt
around the rubber fill plug and face, which could appear to be a leak.
Routine cleaning helps make sure that you can easily observe the
lubricant level through the window as intended. In situations where the
window is clean on the outside but discolored on the inside, you can
check the lubricant level by inserting a finger through the rubber check
vent hole.
The specified lubricant level for a window-type hubcap is from the
minimum line to five–sixteenth inch (8 millimeters) above the minimum
line. If the lubricant level should suddenly drop dramatically below the
minimum level, see theWorkshop Manualfor diagnostic procedure.
Installation, Tightening and Alignment
Make sure the threads on the studs and nuts are clean to permit correct
torque when installing wheels. The mounting surfaces of rims, wheels,
spacer rings and clamps must be free of dirt, rust, lubricants or damage.
Use a wire brush to clean the mounting contact surfaces. Do not use
lubricant on threads.
After properly tightening the rim or wheel, check it for proper alignment.
Rotate the wheel with a piece of chalk attached to a steady, firm surface,
and placed to just barely clear the outside surface of the tire bead seat;
this procedure points out the high spot. A high spot does not necessarily
indicate unevenly tightened lug nuts, but may be the result of a bent
wheel.
Use the following installation procedure:
1. Slide inner rear or front tire and wheel in position over studs and push
it back as far as possible. Use care so you do not damage the threads on
the studs.

1Your engine has been designed to use engine oil that meets Ford
specification. It is also acceptable to use an engine oil of recommended
viscosity grade that displays the API Certification Mark for gasoline
engines.
2Do not use API S category oils labeled as SN, SM, SL or previous oil
category unless the label also display the API certification mark. These
oil do not meet all the requirements of your vehicles engine and
emissions system.
3Do not use supplemental engine oil additives, cleaners or other engine
treatments. They are unnecessary and could lead to engine damage that
is not covered by Ford warranty.

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
You should perform certain basic maintenance checks and inspections
monthly or at six-month intervals.

Periodic Component and System Checks
The following are vehicle checks that should be made periodically either
by the owner or a qualified technician. Bring any deficiencies to the
attention of an authorized dealer or another qualified service outlet as
soon as possible to obtain advice about the need for service or
replacement.
Frequency Recommended Action
At every engine start up. Check ABS lamp operation.
After first 500 and 1000 miles (800
and 1600 km), then every 500 and
1000 mile (800 and 1600 km)
interval after tire removal or
replacement.Tighten the wheel mounting nuts
to the specified torque. See
Technical specificationsin the
