Capacities, Specs, ....?????

I just bought a Sweet 2003 f350 7.3 auto . I want to change all the fluids and filters so I know for sure when they were done.

The owner did not have the manual. Is there a place I can figure out all the specs on the truck?

What type of oil to use and the capacities for the truck ex... (engine, diffs, tranny, transfer case.

I also need the filters.

Thanks,

KB

Motorcraft oil filters from walmart are a good deal.
Many like the mobil 1 synthetic tranny fluid. There is an excellent write up on how to change in the link Neal provided.
Fuel filters RACOR - FUEL FILTER ('99-'03 FORD 7.3L)-Dodge Cummins and Ford Power Stroke Diesel Truck Accessories - Geno's Garage

Is that fuel filter from Geno's Garage as good as the motorcraft one. The dealer wanted like 53 bucks for the filter.

Racor is who originally manufactured the Motorcraft filter, so yes, it's just as good.
