Air Filter Replacement - Ford Diesel 2011 Supplement Manual

Maintenance and Specifications
After installation of the new filter
element, reset the gauge by pressing
the reset button on top of the
gauge.
Note: Vehicle operation in heavy
snowfall or extreme rain conditions
may feed excessive amounts of
snow/water into the air intake
system. This could plug/soak the air
filter with snow and may cause the
engine to lose power and possibly
shut down.
The following actions are recommend after operating the vehicle up to
200 miles (320 km) in heavy snowfall or extreme rain:
• Snow: At the earliest opportunity, open the hood and clear all the
snow and ice from the air filter housing inlet (do NOT remove the
foam filter) and reset the air filter restriction gauge.
• Extreme rain: The air filter will dry after about 15–30 minutes at
highway speeds. At the earliest opportunity, open the hood and reset
the air filter restriction gauge.

Air filter replacement:

When replacing the air filter element, use the Motorcraft air filter
element listed in Motorcraft part numbers later in this chapter.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of vehicle damage and/or
personal burn injuries do not start your engine with the air filter
removed and do not remove it while the engine is running.
