Maintenance Schedule, All Power Stroke Diesels
Severe duty/special service conditions include:
• Extended periods of engine idling (10 minutes of idling per hour of constant driving)
• Operating in weather conditions below -10° F or above 100° F
• Driving in dusty conditions
• Frequent off-road driving (4 wheel drive usage)
• Frequent light to medium towing (1,000+ miles per oil change interval)
• Frequent heavy towing/hauling
If you're driving behavior falls under any of these conditions, you are advised to follow all "severe duty" service intervals.

Oil, Fluid Requirements & Capacities, All Power Stroke Diesels
Note - All fluid capacities are nominal (approximate) and should be used as a reference for acquiring fluid only. Always fill to dipstick or fill plug level as applicable. Automatic transmission fluid capacity is typically total dry fill. A supplemental additive/friction modifier may be required in limited slip differentials, use Motorcraft XL-3 limited slip differential additive.
