ISSUE:
Some vehicles may exhibit one or more of the following concerns:
- Rough idle
- Poor Performance
- Lack/loss of power
- Stalling
- Misses
- Bucking/jerking
- Hesitation/stumble
These symptoms may be caused by the oil dipstick being inaccurate in
its readings. A low oil level in the oil pan and quality of
oil being used can cause the oil to aerate. This aeration has
been determined to affect the way the engine performs.
ACTION:
Replace the oil dipstick with the new 14 quart dipstick and add the
required oil to reduce the possibility of oil aeration. Refer
to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
- Ensure engine is at normal operating
temperature.
- Remove the old oil dipstick and replace
it with the new dipstick (F4TZ-6750-E).
- Park the vehicle on a level surface, turn
off the engine and open the hood. Allow at least 20 minutes
after engine shutdown to assure that all of the oil has returned to
the oil pan.
- Carefully remove the dipstick and wipe it
clean. Reinsert dipstick fully and remove again.
- Read the oil level on both sides of the
dipstick and use the highest reading for actual engine oil level.
- Add the required amount of oil to reach
the "FULL" mark on the new dipstick.
| NOTE: |
15W40 OIL THAT MEETS THE CF-4, MACK E-OL, AND SG/SH
SPECIFICATIONS IS REQUIRED FOR USE WITH THIS ENGINE.
ALTHOUGH OTHER OILS MEET THESE SPECIFICATIONS, THE MOTORCRAFT
15W40 WITH THE BLACK LID IS RECOMMENDED FOR ITS SUPERIOR
AERATION QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS. |
