Maintenance and Specifications 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: VEHICLES OPERATED WHERE ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL IS REQUIRED (UNITED STATES/CANADA/PUERTO RICO/U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS AND OTHER LOCALES) Use only Ultra Low Sulfur (15 ppm Sulfur Maximum) number 1-D or 2-D diesel fuel (also known as ULSD) in your 6.7L diesel engine. The engine and exhaust system were designed to only use this fuel. Look for the ULTRA-LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL (15 ppm Sulfur Maximum) label on fuel pumps when purchasing your fuel. Using low sulfur diesel fuel (16-500 ppm) or high sulfur diesel fuel (greater than 500 ppm) in a diesel engine designed to use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel will cause certain emission components to malfunction which may also cause the service light to illuminate indicating an emissionsengine soon related concern. Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for cold temperature. For best results at temperatures below 20°F (-7°C), it is recommended to use a diesel fuel which has been seasonally adjusted for the ambient conditions. See Cold weather operation in the Driving chapter of this supplement. FUEL REQUIREMENTS - CHOOSING THE RIGHT FUEL: VEHICLES OPERATED WHERE ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL IS NOT REQUIRED For the engine to operate reliably on low-sulfur or high-sulfur diesel fuel, the engine must be a factory built high-sulfur engine (available as a dealer order option for select markets) or a ULSD (ultra low sulfur diesel) fuel configured engine that has been retrofitted for high-sulfur diesel fuel using Ford Motor Company dealer service parts. Failure to use retrofit components other than those available through your authorized dealer will result in engine coolant system damage, engine overheating, SCR and/or DPF damage and possible base engine damage. 21 2012 Diesel (67l) Supplement, 3rd Printing USA (fus)

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: VEHICLES
OPERATED WHERE ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL IS
REQUIRED (UNITED STATES/CANADA/PUERTO RICO/U.S. VIRGIN
ISLANDS AND OTHER LOCALES)
Use only Ultra Low Sulfur (15 ppm Sulfur Maximum) number 1-D or
2-D diesel fuel (also known as ULSD) in your 6.7L diesel engine.
The engine and exhaust system were designed to only use this fuel. Look
for the
ULTRA-LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL (15 ppm
Sulfur Maximum)
label on fuel pumps when purchasing your fuel.
Using low sulfur diesel fuel (16-500 ppm) or high sulfur diesel
fuel (greater than 500 ppm) in a diesel engine designed to use
only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel will cause certain emission
components to malfunction which may also cause the service
engine soon
light to illuminate indicating an emissions-
related concern.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for cold temperature. For best results
at temperatures below 20°F (-7°C), it is recommended to use a diesel
fuel which has been seasonally adjusted for the ambient conditions. See
Cold weather operation
in the
Driving
chapter of this supplement.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS - CHOOSING THE RIGHT FUEL: VEHICLES
OPERATED WHERE ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL IS NOT
REQUIRED
For the engine to operate reliably on low-sulfur or high-sulfur diesel fuel,
the engine must be a factory built high-sulfur engine (available as a
dealer order option for select markets) or a ULSD (ultra low sulfur
diesel) fuel configured engine that has been retrofitted for high-sulfur
diesel fuel using Ford Motor Company dealer service parts. Failure to use
retrofit components other than those available through your authorized
dealer will result in engine coolant system damage, engine overheating,
SCR and/or DPF damage and possible base engine damage.
