1 See the SAE viscosities grades chart for
correct temperature usage.
2 For severe duty service, use SAE 5W-40
oil that meets Ford specification
WSS-M2C171-F1. 3
For biodiesel fuel blends (B20 max), use
SAE 5W-40 or SAE 15W-40 oil that meets
Ford specification WSS-M2C171-F1.

If you use oil and fluids that do not meet
the defined specification and viscosity
grade, this may lead to:
•
Component damage which is not
covered 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 is
recommended at temperatures below
– 10°F (– 23°C).
Engine Oil Specifications
The use of correct oil viscosities for diesel
engines is important for satisfactory
operation. Determine which oil viscosity
best suits the temperature range you
expect to encounter for the next service
interval from the following SAE viscosity
grade chart. 438

If you use oil and fluids that do not meet
the defined specification and viscosity
grade, this may lead to:
•
Component damage which is not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
• Longer engine cranking periods.
• Increased emission levels.
• Reduced engine performance.
• Reduced fuel economy.
• Degraded brake performance.
We recommend Motorcraft® motor oil for
your vehicle. If Motorcraft® oil is not
available, use motor oils of the
recommended viscosity grade that meet
API SN requirements and display the API
Certification Mark for gasoline engines. Do
not use oil labeled with API SN service
category unless the label also displays the
API certification mark. An oil that displays this symbol conforms
to current engine, emission system and
fuel economy performance standards of
ILSAC.
Do not use supplemental engine oil
additives because they are unnecessary
and could lead to engine damage that may
not be covered by your vehicle warranty.
Note:
Ford recommends using DOT 4 Low
Viscosity (LV) High Performance Brake Fluid
or equivalent meeting WSS-M6C65-A2. Use
of any fluid other than the recommended
fluid may cause degraded brake
performance and not meet the Ford
performance standards. Keep brake fluid
clean and dry. Contamination with dirt,
water, petroleum products or other
materials may result in brake system
damage and possible failure.
Note: Automatic transmissions that require
MERCON® LV transmission fluid should
only use MERCON® LV transmission fluid.
The use of any other fluid may cause
transmission damage.
Alternative Engine Oil for
Extremely Cold Climates
To improve engine cold start performance,
we recommend that you use the following
alternative engine oil in extremely cold
climates, where the ambient temperature
reaches -22°F (-30°C) or below.

Sustained High-speed Driving at Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (Maximum Loaded Weight
for Vehicle Operation)
Inspect the engine and secondary cooling system coolant
concentration (freeze-point protection) and additive
(corrosion inhibitor) strength. Add coolant additive if
necessary.
Every 30,000 mi
(48,000 km) or 1200 engine
hours
Flush and refill the coolant. Do not add coolant additive.
Every
60,000 mi
(96,000 km) or 2400
engine hours
Note: When adding coolant additive, do not exceed the specified maximum of 48 fluid
ounces (1.4 liters) for the engine and 16 fluid ounces (473 ml) for the secondary cooling
system. Operating the engine with excessive coolant additive may cause overheating which
could lead to severe, permanent engine damage.
Note: After the initial coolant flush and fill at
60,000 mi (96,000 km) or 2400 engine
hours, flush and fill every 45,000 mi (72,000 km) or 1800 engine hours thereafter. Operating in Sustained Ambient Temperatures Below -9°F (-23°C) or Above 100°F (38°C)
Change the engine oil and filter as indicated by the
information display, and perform the services listed in the
scheduled maintenance chart.
As required
Replace the engine-mounted and frame-mounted fuel
filters.
Every
15,000 mi
(24,000 km), six months or
600 engine hours
Replace the wheel bearing grease and grease seals if using
non-sealed bearings. (Two-wheel drive vehicles)
Every
30,000 mi
(48,000 km) Operating in Dusty or Sandy Conditions (Such as Unpaved or Dusty Roads)
Rotate the tires1
, inspect the tires for wear and measure
tread depth.
Every
7,500 mi (12,000 km)
Inspect the brake system pads and rotors.
Inspect the air filter restriction gauge. Replace the filter if
necessary.
Inspect the steering and suspension ball joints and tie rods.
Lubricate any grease fittings.

Off-road Operation
Change the rear axle fluid (Dana rear axles only - some F-
350s; all F-450s and F-550s).
Every 50,000 mi
(80,000 km)
Change the transfer case fluid. (Four-wheel drive vehicles)
Inspect the front axle fluid. (Four-wheel drive vehicles)
1 Vehicles with dual rear wheels should rotate the front wheels when specified; rear wheels
only if unusual wear is noted.
2 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 the
information display, and perform the services listed in the
scheduled maintenance chart.
As required
Replace the engine-mounted and frame-mounted fuel
filters.
Every
15,000 mi
(24,000 km), six months or
300 engine hours Using Fuel Other Than Ultra-low Sulfur Diesel Fuel - Vehicles Operated Where Ultra-low
Sulfur Diesel Fuel is not Required or Available
Change engine oil and filter.
Every
2,500 mi (4,000 km)
or three months (if using
high sulfur fuel with more
than 500 ppm sulfur)
Change engine oil and filter.
Every
5,000 mi (8,000 km)
or six months (if using high
sulfur fuel with fewer than
500 ppm sulfur)
Exceptions
Axle and Transfer Case Maintenance
Axle(s) and transfer case (4X4 only) fluid
changes or level checks are not required
unless a leak is suspected or the assembly
has been submerged in water. During long
periods of trailer towing with outside
temperatures above
70°F (21°C) or at wide-open throttle for long periods above
45 mph (72 km/h)
, change the rear axle
fluid every 30,000 mi (48,000 km) if the
rear axle is filled with non-synthetic fluid.
This interval can be waived and the
150,000 mi (240,000 km) service interval
can continue if the rear axle is filled with
75W140 synthetic gear fluid meeting Ford
