SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
The scheduled maintenance services in the scheduled maintenance
information of this supplement are required because they are
considered essential to the life and performance of your vehicle.
Use only recommended fuel, lubricants, fluids and service parts
conforming to Ford specifications. Motorcraft parts are designed and
built for best performance in your vehicle.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Choosing the right fuel
The engine is designed to use low sulfur number 1–D or 2–D Diesel fuel
only. At temperatures below 20°F (-7°C), number 1–D or winter blend
number 2–D fuel is recommended. (See Cold weather operation in the
Driving chapter of this supplement.) Diesel fuel containing no more
than 5% of biodiesel may be used. Biodiesel fuel is a product derived
from renewable fuel sources such as vegetable oil, animal fat and cooking
oil.
Do not use home heating oil or any diesel fuel not intended for
highway use. Red dye is used to identify fuels intended for
agricultural and non-highway use. Damage to the fuel injection
system, engine and exhaust catalyst can occur if an improper fuel
is used. Do not add gasoline, gasohol or alcohol to diesel fuel.
This practice creates a serious fire hazard and engine
performance problems.
Fuel quality
It should not be necessary to add any aftermarket additives to your fuel
tank if you use a properly formulated diesel fuel that meets the ASTM D
