AMSOIL diesel oil guide for trucks, vans, SUVs and diesel engines<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For the 2010 Ford F-350 Pickup with the 6.4L 8-cylinder Diesel Turbo (Engine Code R), the engine oil capacity is 15 quarts<\/strong> (including filter replacement). Recommended viscosities include 10W-30<\/strong> for temperatures between -18 to 10\u00b0C, and 5W-40 or 15W-40<\/strong> for heavy-duty driving and trailer towing. AMSOIL recommends the Signature Series Max-Duty Diesel Oil<\/strong> for superior protection.<\/p>\n

What oil does a 2010 Ford F-350 6.4L diesel take?<\/h2>\n

The 2010 Ford F-350 with the 6.4L Power Stroke engine requires specific viscosities based on ambient temperature. For temperatures below 10\u00b0C, 0W-30 or 0W-40 is appropriate. Between -18 to 10\u00b0C, use 10W-30. For temperatures above -7\u00b0C, 15W-40 is standard, though 5W-40 or 15W-40 must be used for heavy-duty driving and trailer towing.<\/p>\n

Note on Ford Specifications:<\/strong> The AMSOIL lookup note references Ford Material Engineering Specification WSS-M2C171-F1. Ford has indicated that they recommend oils meeting WSS-M2C171-F1 rather than CK-4 motor oils for older diesel engines, including the 6.4L, because testing on some CK-4 formulations showed inadequate wear protection compared to earlier CJ-4 formulations.<\/p>\n
