Filters, oil, and service manual recommendations

[TangTonic]

While I wait for my IDI to get here, I want to stock up on some fuel and oil filters. I don't have a manual yet so could someone please tell me the part numbers for these and which brands are recommended. Also, what oil should I be adding when I change the engine oil? The truck is a 1994 IDI Turbo at 98,000 miles. What maintenance items should I begin addressing after oil change and fuel filter change? I will be checking the SCA levels. Also, what manuals should I buy? I have found a 1993 Ford Econoline seires 7.3L IDI manual on Ebay:

And a turbo supplement:

And I also found another manual on ford-trucks in pdf format called 93 94 7.3 Turbocharged Diesel Engine. Would the two listed above be recommended to buy? Any others that would be better?

Thanks for the help.

Check our tech article "the parts bin" for many of these items. Helm was the producer of the original shop manuals, so you may want to know that name for your ebay searches.
