2.Remove the engine oil filler cap.
3.Add engine oil that meets ourspecifications. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 291).
4.Reinstall the engine oil filler cap. Turnit clockwise until you feel a strongresistance.
Note: Do not add oil further than themaximum mark. Oil levels above themaximum mark may cause engine damage.
Note:Immediately soak up any oil spillagewith an absorbent cloth.
Engine Oil Pressure Warning Lamp
WARNING: If it illuminates whenyou are driving do not continue yourjourney, even if the oil level is correct.Have your vehicle checked.
It illuminates when you switchthe ignition on.
If it illuminates when the engineis running this indicates a malfunction.Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe todo so and switch the engine off. Check theengine oil level. If the oil level is sufficient,this indicates a system malfunction. Haveyour vehicle checked as soon as possible.
CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL
AND OIL FILTER
WARNING: Do not add engine oilwhen the engine is hot. Failure to followthis instruction could result in personalinjury.
Your vehicle has an Intelligent Oil LifeMonitor™ that calculates the proper oilchange service interval. When theinformation display indicates: OIL CHANGEREQUIRED, change the engine oil and oilfilter. See Information Displays (page71).
The engine oil filter protects your engineby filtering harmful, abrasive or sludgeparticles and particles significantly smallerthan most available will-fit filters. SeeMotorcraft Parts (page 293).
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. SeeEngine Oil Capacity andSpecification (page 299).
5.Reset the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™.See Information Displays (page 71).
Engine Lubrication for SevereService Operation
The following conditions define severeoperation:
•Frequent or extended idling such asover 10 minutes per hour of normaldriving.
•Low-speed operation or stationary use.
•If the vehicle is operated in sustained,ambient temperatures below -9°F(-23°C) or above 100°F (38°C).

as a stroke indicator to aid inadjustment checks. If the push rod isclean and the brakes are out ofadjustment, you can see the orangemarker protruding from the chamberwhen the brakes are applied.
•Checking the brake lining (every serviceinterval). When brake linings or blockswear within 0.063 in (1.6 mm) theymust be replaced.
•Periodic checking (every serviceinterval) of the air compressor filter.Check the filter minder and when theindicator is near or on the red linemarked Service, replace the filter andreset the service filter minder.
Do not back off or disconnect the frontbrakes so that they are less effective,letting the rear brakes do all the stoppingof your vehicle. Do not overlook the brakeson the trailer either. Brake condition on thetrailer is just as important as the tractor.Proper brake balance on trucks andtractor-trailers is essential for effectivebraking.
Once a year, inspect the entire brakesystem:
•Rubber components for deterioration.A qualified technician should inspectthese components and replace themas necessary. Replacement intervalsvary according to the severity andlength of vehicle service.
•Condition of brake drums, brakechambers and slack adjusters.
•System for air leaks.
•Hose or pipes for rust, damage anddeterioration.
•Operation of service and parkingbrakes.
Periodically inspect parts such as air brakechamber diaphragm, air compressor andair cleaner. Replace any parts if you canconsider them unserviceable.
Air Dryer
Climactic conditions affect performanceof desiccant or after-cooler type air dryers.You must establish a maintenanceschedule for each specific operation.
The use of an air dryer on a vehicle doesnot eliminate the need to drain the airreservoirs periodically.
Inspect for moisture in the air system byopening reservoirs, draincocks or valvesand checking for presence of water. Thepresence of small amounts of water dueto condensation is normal and is not anindication that the dryer is not functioningproperly.
Replace or rebuild the desiccant cartridgewhen you determine that the desiccant iscontaminated and does not have adequatewater absorption capacity. The desiccantchange interval may vary. A generalrecommendation is to replace thedesiccant every 12 months (yearly). Ifexperience has shown that extended orshortened life has resulted for a particularinstallation, then the yearly interval can beincreased or decreased accordingly.
Draining the Air Brake Reservoir
WARNING: Failure to drain airbrake reservoirs can result in a reductionor loss of braking ability due to fluidaccumulation in the reservoir and/orpossible freeze-up during cold weather.
Completely drain all the air brake reservoirsdaily by opening the draincock at the endsof the tanks. (Where accessible.Pull-chains are used when the drains areundercab or otherwise inaccessible.) Closethe draincock after draining. Manually drain

At Every Oil Change Interval as Indicated by the Information Display1
Inspect the steering linkage, ball joints, suspension, tie-rod ends, driveshaft and the U-joints. Lubricate any components that have grease fittings.
Inspect front oil hubs for leaks and check fluid level through hub cap sight glass.
1 Do not exceed one year/10,000 mi (16,000 km) or 350 engine hours between serviceintervals.2 Reset the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor after engine oil and filter changes. See Oil ChangeIndicator Reset (page 229).3 Rotate the front wheels on vehicles with dual rear wheels when specified. Only rotatethe rear wheels if you notice unusual wear.
Brake Fluid Maintenance1
Change the brake fluid.2Every 3 Years
1 Perform this maintenance item every 3 years. Do not exceed the designated time forthe interval.2 Brake fluid servicing requires special equipment available at your authorized dealer.
Other Maintenance Items1
Replace the engine-mounted and frame-mounted fuel
filters.2Every 22,000 mi(36,000 km)
Inspect the engine and secondary cooling system coolantconcentration, freeze-point protection, additive, corrosioninhibitor, strength, coolant level, and hoses. Add coolant
additive if necessary.3
Every 30,000 mi(48,000 km)Note: When adding coolant additive, do not exceed thespecified maximum of 47 fl oz (1.4 L) for the engine and20 fl oz (473 ml) for the secondary cooling system. Oper-ating the engine with excessive coolant additive may causeoverheating which could lead to severe, permanent enginedamage.
Replace the air inlet foam filter.Every 45,000 mi(72,000 km)
Inspect the accessory drive belt or belts.4At 90,000 mi(144,000 km)
