2017 FORD F250 SUPER DUTY service interval reset

If your vehicle is equipped with a dieselengine, an Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™calculates the proper oil change serviceinterval. When the information displayindicates: OIL CHANGE REQUIRED, changethe engine oil and oil filter. SeeInformation Displays (page 111).
The engine oil filter protects your engineby filtering harmful, abrasive or sludgeparticles and particles significantly smallerthan most available will-fit filters. SeeMotorcraft Parts (page 419).
1. Unscrew the oil filter and oil pan drainplug and wait for the oil to drain.
2. Replace the filter.
3. Reinstall the oil pan drain plug.
4. Refill the engine with new oil. SeeCapacities and Specifications (page427).
5. For diesel engines, you need to resetthe Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™. SeeInformation Displays (page 111).

Your vehicle has two fuel filters. The firstfilter mounts on top of the engine on theleft-hand side. The second filter is insidethe diesel fuel conditioner module. Themodule is mounted between the outboardside of the fuel tank and the frame rail.
Note:The module is at the front of the fueltank or at the front of the aft-axle fuel tankon some models.
Regular fuel filter changes are animportant part of engine maintenance;failing to keep with the scheduledmaintenance could lead to engineperformance issues and fuel injectionsystem damage. See ScheduledMaintenance (page 573).
Use only recommended service partsconforming to specifications. SeeMotorcraft Parts (page 418).
Note:Using fuel that has high levels ofimpurities may require more frequent filterreplacements than the service intervalspecifies.
