Automatic Transmission Fluid
*
[SV33601( ALL)04/95]
Under normal driving conditions automatic
transmission fluid should be changed every
30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 21,000 miles
(34,000 km) if under severe duty conditions.
However, if the transmission is not working
properly, for instance, the transmission may slip
or shift slowly, or you may notice some sign of
fluid leakage, the fluid level should be checked.
[SV33605( ALL)04/95]
NOTE: Except E4OD transmission, there is no
30,000 mile (48,000 km) sheduled
transmission fluid change requirement.
[SV33615( ALL)05/95]
Transmission fluid, filter and seal assembly
should be changed every 21,000 miles
(34,000 km) only under any of the following

Checking the Automatic Transmission
Fluid
*
[SV33701( ALL)02/95]
It is preferable to check the transmission fluid
level at normal operating temperature
150ÊF-170ÊF (66ÊC-77ÊC),after approximately 20
miles (32 km) of driving. However, if necessary,
you can check the fluid level without having to
drive 20 miles (32 km) to obtain a normal
operating temperature if outside temperatures
are above50ÊF (10ÊC).
*
[SV33801( ALL)01/95]
NOTE: If the vehicle has been operated for an
extended period at high speeds or in
city traffic during hot weather, or
pulling a trailer, the vehicle should be
turned off for about 30 minutes to
allow the fluid to cool before checking.
*
[SV33910( ALL)12/91]
With the vehicle on a level surface, start the
engine and move the transmission shift selector
through all of the gear ranges allowing sufficient
time for each position to engage. Securely latch
the transmission shift selector in the Park (P)
position, fully set the parking brake and leave
the engine running.
*
[SV33920(B F )06/94]
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with the 4x4 option
must have the 4x4 shift selector in any
position other than neutral.

RWARNING
Your vehicle should not be driven if the
fluid level is below the bottom hole on
the dipstick and outside temperatures are
above50ÊF (10ÊC).
*
[SV33940( ALL)02/95]
Wipe off the dipstick cap, pull the dipstick out
and wipe the indicator end clean. Put the
dipstick back into the filler tube and make sure
it is fully seated. Pull the dipstick out and read
the fluid level.
*
[SV33950( ALL)03/90]
When checking fluid at normal operating
temperature, the fluid level should be within the
crosshatched area on the dipstick. When the
vehicle has not been driven, and outside
temperature is above50ÊF (10ÊC), thefluid level
should be between the holes on the dipstick.

[SV33960( ALL)05/95]
Adding Automatic Transmission Fluid
*
[SV33970( ALL)03/94]
The fluid type is stamped on the dipstick. Before
adding any fluid, be sure that the correct type
will be used.
*
[SV33980( ALL)10/89]
Add fluid in 1/2 pint (.25L) increments through
the filler tube to bring the level to the correct
area on the dipstick. If an overfill occurs, excess
fluid should be removed by a qualified
technician.

[SV38900(BEF )01/95]
Use only power steering fluid that:
*
[SV39000(BEF )01/95]
q
meets Ford's Specification ESW-M2C33-F,
such as Ford Premium Power Steering Fluid,
E6AZ-19582-AA or an equivalent Type F
Automatic Transmission Fluid with a Ford
registration number (an 8-digit number
beginning with ª2Pº printed on the fluid
container).
*
[SV39200( ALL)01/95]
If the power steering fluid is low, do not drive
your vehicle for a long period of time before
adding fluid. This can damage the power
steering pump.
*
[SV39300( ALL)03/95]
6. When you are finished, put the dipstick back
in and make sure that it fits snugly.
*
[SV39400( ALL)02/95]
If you check the power steering fluid when it is
cold, make sure that the fluid reaches the FULL
COLD range on the dipstick. The reading will
only be accurate if the fluid temperature is
approximately 50 to85ÊF (10 to 30ÊC).
*
[SV39405( ALL)06/93]
NOTE: Do not turn the steering wheel of your
vehicle with the engine off. It could
force power steering fluid out from the
reservoir cap or in extreme cases, it
could unseat the cap.

Readiness for Inspection/Maintenance
Testing
*
[SV51457( ALL)05/95]
In some localities it may become a legal
requirement to pass an
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test of the
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) II system. If the
vehicle's powertrain system or its battery has
just been serviced, the OBD II system is reset to
a not ready for I/M testing condition. To
prepare for I/M testing, the law specifies a
ªneed for additional mixed city and highway
driving to complete the checkº of the OBD II
system. As soon as all of the OBD II system
checks are successfully completed, the OBD II
system is set to the ready condition. The amount
of driving required to reach the ready condition
varies with individual driving patterns. To
complete this requirement in the minimum
amount of time, refer to the OBD II Drive Cycle
defined below. If the vehicle owner cannot or
does not want to do the additional driving
required by law, a service center can perform
this drive cycle as it would any other type of
repair work.
[SV51458( ALL)05/95]
OBD II Drive Cycle
[SV51459( ALL)04/95]
The engine must be warmed up and at
operating temperature before proceeding with
the drive modes of the following OBD II Drive
Cycle.
[SV51461( ALL)04/95]
1. Start the engine. Drive or idle (in neutral)
the vehicle for 4 minutes.
[SV51463( ALL)04/95]
2. Idle the vehicle in drive (neutral for manual
transmission) for 40 seconds.
*
[SV51465( ALL)05/95]
3. Accelerate the vehicle to 45 mph (72 km/h)
at 1/4 to 1/2 throttle for 10 seconds.

seconds each
*
[SV51475( ALL)05/95]

minute steady state throttle drives.
*
