2017 FORD F450 SUPER DUTY oil temperature

1See the SAE viscosities grades chart forcorrect temperature usage.2For severe duty service, use SAE 5W-40API CJ-4.3For biodiesel fuel blends (B20 max), useSAE 5W-40 or SAE 15W-40 API CJ-4.
If you use oil and fluids that do not meetthe defined specification and viscositygrade, this may lead to:
•Component damage which is notcovered by the vehicle warranty.
•Longer engine cranking periods.
•Increased emission levels.
•Reduced engine performance.
•Reduced fuel economy.
•Degraded brake performance.
Note:An engine block heater isrecommended at temperatures below–10°F (–23°C).
Engine Oil Specifications
The use of correct oil viscosities for dieselengines is important for satisfactoryoperation. Determine which oil viscositybest suits the temperature range youexpect to encounter for the next serviceinterval from the following SAE viscositygrade chart.

An oil that displays this symbol conformsto current engine, emission system andfuel economy performance standards ofthe International Lubricants SpecificationAdvisory Committee (ILSAC).
Do not use supplemental engine oiladditives because they are unnecessaryand could lead to engine damage that maynot be covered by your vehicle warranty.
Note:Ford recommends using DOT 4 LowViscosity (LV) High Performance Brake Fluidor equivalent meeting WSS-M6C65-A2. Useof any fluid other than the recommendedfluid may cause degraded brakeperformance and not meet the Fordperformance standards. Keep brake fluidclean and dry. Contamination with dirt,water, petroleum products or othermaterials may result in brake systemdamage and possible failure.
Note: Automatic transmissions that requireMERCON® LV transmission fluid shouldonly use MERCON® LV transmission fluid.The use of any other fluid may causetransmission damage.
Alternative Engine Oil forExtremely Cold Climates
To improve engine cold start performance,we recommend that you use the followingalternative engine oil in extremely coldclimates, where the ambient temperaturereaches -22.0°F (-30°C) or below.

Sustained high-speed driving at gross vehicle weight rating (maximum loaded weightfor vehicle operation)
Inspect the engine and secondary cooling system coolantconcentration (freeze-point protection) and additive(corrosion inhibitor) strength. Add coolant additive ifnecessary.
Every 30000 miles (48000km) or 1200 engine hours
Flush and refill the coolant. Do not add coolant additive.Every 60000 miles (96000km) or 2400 engine hours
Note:When adding coolant additive, do not exceed the specified maximum of 48 fluidounces (1.4 liters) for the engine and 16 fluid ounces (473 ml) for the secondary coolingsystem. Operating the engine with excessive coolant additive may cause overheating whichcould lead to severe, permanent engine damage.
Note:After the initial coolant flush and fill at 60000 miles (96000 kilometers) or 2400engine hours, flush and fill every 45000 miles (72000 kilometers) or 1800 engine hoursthereafter.
Operating in sustained ambient temperatures below -10°F (-23°C) or above 100°F (38°C)
Change the engine oil and filter as indicated by theinformation display, and perform the services listed in thescheduled maintenance chart.
As required
Replace the engine-mounted and frame-mounted fuelfilters.Every 15000 miles (24000km), six months, 600 enginehours
Replace the wheel bearing grease and grease seals if usingnon-sealed bearings. (Two-wheel drive vehicles)Every 30000 miles (48000km)
Operating in dusty or sandy conditions (such as unpaved or dusty roads)
Rotate the tires*, inspect the tires for wear and measuretread depth.
Every 7500 miles (12000km)
Inspect the brake system pads and rotors.
Inspect the air filter restriction gauge. Replace the filter ifnecessary.
Inspect the steering and suspension ball joints and tie rods.Lubricate any grease fittings.

Scheduled Maintenance

Off-road operation
Change the rear axle fluid (Dana rear axles only - some F-350s; all F-450s and F-550s).Every 50000 miles (80000km)
Change the transfer case fluid. (Four-wheel drive vehicles)
Inspect the front axle fluid. (Four-wheel drive vehicles)
*Vehicles with dual rear wheels should rotate the front wheels when specified; rear wheelsonly if unusual wear is noted.**Reset the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor after engine oil and filter changes.
Using biodiesel, up to and including 20% biodiesel (B20)
Change the engine oil and filter as indicated by theinformation display, and perform the services listed in thescheduled maintenance chart.
As required
Replace the engine-mounted and frame-mounted fuelfilters.Every 15000 miles (24000km), six months, 600 enginehours
Using fuel other than ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel - vehicles operated where ultra-lowsulfur diesel fuel is not required or available
Change engine oil and filter.Every 2500 miles (4000km) or three months (ifusing high sulfur fuel withmore than 500 ppm sulfur)
Change engine oil and filter.Every 5000 miles (8000km) or six months (if usinghigh sulfur fuel with fewerthan 500 ppm sulfur)
Exceptions
Axle and Transfer Case Maintenance
Axle(s) and transfer case (4X4 only) fluidchanges or level checks are not requiredunless a leak is suspected or the assemblyhas been submerged in water. During longperiods of trailer towing with outsidetemperatures above 70°F (21°C) or at
wide-open throttle for long periodsabove45 mph (72 km/h), change the rearaxle fluid every 30,000 mi (48,000 km) ifthe rear axle is filled with non-syntheticfluid. This interval can be waived and the150,000 mi (240,000km) service intervalcan continue if the rear axle is filled with75W140 synthetic gear fluid meeting Ford
