oil change

I just got a 2006 f-250 with 6.0. I was wondering how much oil it holds, what is the recomending oil to run, and how often should it be changed?

15W-40 is recommended for summers and trailer towing.

10W-30 is recommended for winter use.

5W-30 or 5W-40 is recommended for temps below 30F.

0W-30 is recommended for temps befow 0F

Change engine oil and filter every 5,000 miles when driving in severe conditions. Always change the filter.

Download an electronic copy of your owners manual and diesel supplement here.

Redford, that link doesn't work for some reason. I've seen it posted before and that was the same case then as well.

Motorcraft has their site set up screwy so it is hard to link directly to manuals. Here is a link to the site though.

http://www.motorcraftservice.com

Once there click on Owner Guides on the left side and then enter your year and make. It will then show all the guides available for your vehicle.

Dang....sorry about that.

Here's another link to try, but it won't have the diesel supplement:
