not fill the reservoir completely.
Onlyuse a washer fluid that meets
Ford specification WSB-M8B16–A2.
Refer toLubricant specifications

State or local regulations on volatile organic compounds mayrestrict the
use of methanol, a common windshield washer antifreeze additive.
Washer fluids containing non-methanol antifreeze agents should be used
onlyif theyprovide cold weather protection without damaging the

fluid placed in the cooling system may harm engine and cooling system
components.
