GENERAL MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION
Why Maintain Your Vehicle?
Carefully following the maintenance
schedule helps protect against major repair
expenses resulting from neglect or
inadequate maintenance and may help to
increase the value of your vehicle when
you sell or trade it. Keep all receipts for
completed maintenance with your vehicle.
We have established regular maintenance
intervals for your vehicle based upon
rigorous testing. It is important that you
have your vehicle serviced at the proper
times. These intervals serve two purposes;
one is to maintain the reliability of your
vehicle and the second is to keep your cost
of owning your vehicle down.
It is your responsibility to have all
scheduled maintenance performed and to
make sure that the materials used meet
the specifications identified in this owner's
manual. See Capacities and
Specifications (page 256).
Failure to perform scheduled maintenance
invalidates warranty coverage on parts
affected by the lack of maintenance.
Why Maintain Your Vehicle at Your
Dealership?
Factory-trained Technicians
Service technicians participate in extensive
factory-sponsored certification training to
help them become experts on the
operation of your vehicle. Ask your
dealership about the training and
certification their technicians have
received. Genuine Ford and Motorcraft
Replacement Parts
Dealerships stock Ford, Motorcraft and
Ford-authorized branded re-manufactured
replacement parts. These parts meet or
exceed our specifications. Parts installed
at your dealership carry a nationwide
12-month or 12000-mile (20000
kilometer) parts and labor limited
warranty.
If you do not use Ford authorized parts they
may not meet our specifications and
depending on the part, it could affect
emissions compliance.
Convenience
Many dealerships have extended evening
and Saturday hours to make your service
visit more convenient and they offer one
stop shopping. They can perform any
services that are required on your vehicle,
from general maintenance to collision
repairs.
Note:
Not all dealers have extended hours
or body shops. Please contact your dealer
for details.
Protecting Your Investment
Maintenance is an investment that pays
dividends in the form of improved
reliability, durability and resale value. To
maintain the proper performance of your
vehicle and its emission control systems,
make sure you have scheduled
maintenance performed at the designated
intervals.
Diesel Engine
Your vehicle is equipped with the
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor system, which
displays a message in the information
display at the proper oil change interval.
This interval may be up to one year or
10000 miles (16000 kilometers).
314
F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing Scheduled Maintenance

A message appears in the information
display when it is time for an oil change.
Make sure you perform the oil change
within two weeks or 500 miles (800
kilometers) of the message appearing.
Make sure you reset the Intelligent Oil-Life
Monitor after each oil change. See
Instrument Cluster (page 54).
If your information display resets
prematurely or becomes inoperative, you
should perform the oil change interval at
six months or 5000 miles (8000
kilometers) from your last oil change.
Never exceed one year or 10000 miles
(16000 kilometers) between oil change
intervals.
All Vehicles
Your vehicle is very sophisticated and built
with multiple, complex, performance
systems. Every manufacturer develops
these systems using different
specifications and performance features.
That is why it is important to rely upon your
dealership to properly diagnose and repair
your vehicle.
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.
Emissions Control System WARNING
Because of high engine
compartment and exhaust system
temperatures resulting from
emissions equipment, do not park, idle or
operate your vehicle in dry grass or other
dry ground cover where the possibility of
ground fire exists. 315
F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing Scheduled Maintenance

To make sure the emissions control
systems operate effectively, you should
have the services listed in the maintenance
schedule performed at the specified time
and mileage intervals. You should avoid
running out of fuel or turning off the ignition
when your vehicle is moving, especially at
high speeds.
Do not make unauthorized modifications
to the engine or vehicle. Modifications
causing increased amounts of unburned
fuel to reach the exhaust system can
significantly increase the temperature of
the engine compartment and the exhaust
system.
Avoid driving your vehicle if it does not
operate properly. If the engine diesels
(more than five seconds of engine run-on
after shut-off), misfires, surges, stalls or
backfires, see an authorized dealer. Be alert
for fluid leakage, odor, smoke, loss of oil
pressure, or charge indicator or over
temperature warning.
Vehicles equipped with a diesel engine
cannot use diesel fuel blended with waste
oil if equipped with a catalytic
converter-muffler. Waste lube oil blending
in fuel plugs the catalytic
converter-muffler, resulting in a significant
loss of engine power.
Noise Emissions Warranty, Prohibited
Tampering Acts and Maintenance
On January 1, 1978, Federal regulations
became effective governing the noise
emissions on trucks over 10000 pounds
(4536 kilograms) GVWR. The following
statements concerning prohibited
tampering acts and maintenance and the
noise warranty are found in the warranty
information, and are applicable to
completed trucks.
Tampering with Noise Control System
Prohibited
Federal law prohibits the following acts or
the causing thereof: (1) The removal or
rendering inoperative, by any person other
than for purposes of maintenance, repair
or replacement, of any device or element
of design incorporated into any new vehicle
for the purpose of noise control prior to its
sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser
or while it is in use, or (2) the use of the
vehicle after such device or element of
design has been removed or rendered
inoperative by any person.
Among those acts presumed to constitute
tampering are the following acts listed:
Acts
Vehicle system
Removal of noise shields, hood blanket, tunnel liner oracoustical absorptive material.
Acoustical shielding
Removal or rendering inoperative the engine speed
governor to allow engine speed to exceed manufacturer specifications. Removal of engine mounted noise shield or oil pan enclosure.
Engine
Removal of the air duct, silencer, air cleaner, and/or air
cleaner element and baffle in air cleaner; re-indexing of air cleaner.
Engine air induction
316
F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing Scheduled Maintenance

There are three types of maintenance
intervals for general vehicle environments:
On-Highway, City and Severe Service. In
all applications, monitoring miles
(kilometers) and time and when the engine
is due for an oil change determine the
actual interval. When the engine oil change
is required before the truck lubrication
interval, perform the lubrication at the
same time in order to reduce your vehicle
’s
time out of service.
Air Brake Adjustment WARNING
Failure to maintain proper air brake
adjustment can result in reduction
or loss of braking ability.
A qualified service technician, keeping to
the instructions in the service manual,
should perform air brake inspection and
adjustment or repairs.
Cam Brakes - Automatic Slack
Adjusters
WARNING
Do not manually adjust the
automatic slack adjusters to correct
excessive push rod stroke as it may
result in reduced brake effectiveness and
a vehicle crash. Excessive push rod stroke
indicates that a problem exists with the
automatic adjuster, with the installation
of the adjuster, or with foundation brake
components that manual adjustment does
not remedy. Seek service from a qualified
facility for excessive push rod stroke. Inspect standard air brakes equipped with
automatic slack adjusters for proper brake
adjustment as listed in the maintenance
schedule charts.
However, inspect the brakes more
frequently when subjecting them to heavy
use or adverse operating conditions such
as:
•
Frequent brake applications while fully
loaded.
• Operation on hilly or mountainous
terrain.
• Frequent operation on dirt, gravel or
mud.
Some aftermarket brake linings also
require more frequent inspections.
