2022-2026 Ford Super Duty Maintenance Requirements
Maintaining a Ford Super Duty requires a strict adherence to engineering specifications, especially for trucks operating in the high-heat environment of Abilene, Texas. Whether you are driving a 2022 Ford F-350 or preparing for the arrival of the 2026 model, following the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor (IOLM) is the baseline for engine health. For those utilizing these trucks for heavy towing or frequent idling, a specialized "Severe Duty" schedule is recommended to prevent premature component wear.
Recommended Service Intervals (Normal vs. Special Operating Conditions)
The following table outlines the critical service points for both the 6.8L/7.3L Gas V8s and the 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel engines found in the F-250 through F-450 range.
| Component / Service | Interval (Normal) | Interval (Severe/Towing) | Engineering Specification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine Oil & Filter | Per IOLM (Up to 10,000 miles) | 5,000 miles / 200 engine hours | WSS-M2C171-F1 (Diesel) |
| Fuel Filters (Diesel) | Every 2nd oil change | Every 15,000 miles | Dual-filter system (Frame/Engine) |
| Engine Coolant | Initial 100,000 miles | Every 60,000 miles | WSS-M97B57-A2 (Orange/Yellow) |
| Transmission Fluid | 150,000 miles | 30,000 to 60,000 miles | MERCON ULV |
| Transfer Case Fluid | 150,000 miles | 60,000 miles | XL-12 or MERCON LV |
| Spark Plugs (Gas) | 100,000 miles | 60,000 miles | Gap: 0.049 to 0.053 inch |
Filtration and Fluid Capacities
![]() | The 2026 Ford Super Duty continues the trend of high-capacity cooling and lubrication systems designed for thermal management under load. For the 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel, the oil capacity remains at 13.1 quarts. It is vital to use a diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) that meets ISO 22241 standards to ensure the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system functions without entering a restricted speed mode. |
