Coolant refill capacity
To find out how much fluid your vehicle's cooling
system can hold, refer toRefill capacitiesin the
Capacities and specificationschapter.
Fill your engine coolant reservoir as outlined in
Adding engine coolantin this chapter.
Severe climates
If you drive in extremely cold climates (less than
±36É C [±34É F]):
²it may be necessary to increase the coolant
concentration above 50%.
²NEVER increase the coolant concentration
above 60%.
²increased engine coolant concentrations
above 60% will decrease the overheat
protection characteristics of the engine
coolant and may cause engine damage.
²refer to the chart on the coolant container
to ensure the coolant concentration in your
vehicle will provide adequate freeze
protection at the temperatures in which you
drive in the winter months.
If you drive in extremely hot climates:
²it is still necessary to maintain the coolant
concentration above 40%.
²NEVER decrease the coolant concentration
below 40%.
²decreased engine coolant concentrations
below 40% will decrease the corrosion
protection characteristics of the engine
coolant and may cause engine damage.
²decreased engine coolant concentrations
below 40% will decrease the freeze
protection characteristics of the engine
coolant and may cause engine damage.

1Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.2Rear axle lubricants do not need to be checked or
changed unless a leak is suspected, service is required or
the axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle
lubricant should be changed any time the rear axle has
been submerged in water. Fill 6 mm to 14 mm (1/4 inch to
9/16 inch) below bottom of fill hole. Add 118 ml (4 oz.) of
Additive Friction Modifier C8AZ-19B546-A or equivalent
meeting Ford specification EST-M2C118±A for complete
refill of Traction-Lok axles.
3Ensure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used.
Transmission fluid requirements are indicated on the
dipstick or on the dipstick handle. MERCONtand
MERCONtV are not interchangeable. DO NOT mix
MERCONtand MERCONtV. Refer to your scheduled
maintenance guide to determine the correct service
interval.
4Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some
applications may vary based on cooler size and if equipped
with an in-tank cooler. The amount of transmission fluid
and fluid level should be set by the indication on the
dipstick's normal operating range.
