Maintenance and Specifications Use Ford Engine Oil Filter Part No. 3C3Z-6731-AA (FL-2016) or equivalent. These filters protect your engine by filtering harmful, abrasive or sludge particles. The FL-2016 filters particles significantly smaller than most available "will-fit" filters. To replace the filter, 1. Unscrew the oil filter cap and wait a few seconds for the oil to drain through the built-in drain valve. Note: The filter should be changed before reinstalling the oil pan drain plug. 2. Reinstall and tighten the oil filter cap. Do not handle a hot oil filter with bare hands. Continuous contact with USED motor oil has caused cancer in laboratory mice. Protect your skin by washing with soap and water. Engine lubrication for severe service operation The following severe service operating conditions require unique engine maintenance procedures: • towing a trailer over 1,600 km (1,000 miles) • sustained, high speed driving at Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (maximum loaded weight for vehicle operation during hot weather-above 32°C [90°F]). • frequent or extended idling (over 10 minutes per hour of normal driving). • operating in severe dust conditions. • frequent, short trips of 16 km (10 miles) or less during freezing weather If you are operating your vehicle under any of these conditions, observe the following service procedures: • Change engine oil and filter every 8,000 km (5,000 miles). • Use Motorcraft oil or an equivalent oil conforming to Ford Specification WSS-M2C171-D or API categories CI-4, CI-4/SL or DHD-1. If CI-4 oil is not available, CH-4 is acceptable. For more information refer the General Owner's Information section of this supplement. 42
