Maintenance and Specifications A symbol has been developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API) to help you select the proper engine oil. It will be included on the oil container you purchase. The top section of the symbol shows the oil performance by the API designation. This should match the owner guide recommendation. The center section will show the SAE viscosity grade. The lower section will state energy conserving if the oil has proven fuel saving capabilities. Changing engine oil and filter Change your oil and filter according to the scheduled maintenance information in this supplement. Change more frequently if your vehicle operation includes extended periods of idling or low-speed operation, driving for a long time in cold temperatures or driving short distances. See the following section Engine lubrication for severe service operation for all severe duty restrictions. 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.
