I have a 2011 Ford F250 diesel powerstroke. Is there anything different that I need to do for the winter months. (ie. Plug it in to keep engine block warm?)

. Change the oil and filter, using SAE 5W-40 full synthetic heavy duty diesel engine oil and a Motorcraft oil filter. This will improve starting, performance, and fuel mileage, especially in cold weather.
. Purge the fuel system of water and change the under hood and under frame fuel filters.
. Remove and fully charge both batteries. Clean the battery terminals and cable connections. Apply dielectric grease.
. Add Supplemental Coolant Additive FW-16 (8-10 oz. every 15,000 miles). Use Fleetguard test strips, to check the status every other month.
. Check tire pressure.
. Top off windshield washer fluid.
