ENGINE OIL CAPACITY AND SPECIFICATION

Use oil that meets the defined specification and viscosity grade. If you do not use oil that meets the defined specification and viscosity grade, it could result in:

• Component damage that your vehicle warranty does not cover.
• Longer engine cranking periods.
• Increased emission levels.
• Reduced vehicle performance.
• Reduced fuel economy.

Engine Oil
We recommend Motorcraft motor oil for your vehicle. If Motorcraft motor oil is not available, use motor oil of the recommended viscosity grade that meets our specification WSS-M2C171-F1. You can find the list of approved motor oils at www.motorcraft.com. Do not use supplemental engine oil additives because they are unnecessary and could lead to engine damage that your vehicle warranty does not cover. 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 SAE Viscosity Grades chart.
Note: An engine block heater is recommended at temperatures below -9°F (-23°C).
