SVT HISTORY
The Ford Special Vehicle Team (SVT) was established in 1991. SVT was
commissioned to create factory-produced driver’s cars and trucks;
vehicles that possess a balance between engine and chassis, roadholding
and a supple ride, refinement and performance capability. These qualities
are the core of the SVT product development philosophy.
To support SVT, Ford Motor Company created a dedicated product
development group, Ford Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE). In October
2001, Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE) was renamed Special Vehicle
Team/Engineering (SVT/Engineering).The nucleus of Ford SVT is a
small, cross-functional group of engineers, product planners, and
marketing people who meet on a weekly basis to ensure SVT vehicles
and their mission remain focused. SVT draws heavily on the talents and
knowledge of other driving enthusiasts at Ford who work in the key
disciplines of design, product development, manufacturing, and
marketing. The heart of the SVT philosophy is a deep commitment to
skillful and enthusiastic driving. The ultimate goal of everyone at SVT is
to create vehicles that speak to the needs and desires of the
knowledgeable driving enthusiast.

axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should
be changed any time the rear axle has been submerged in water.
3Ensure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used. Transmission
fluid requirements are indicated on the dipstick or on the dipstick
handle. Check the container to verify the fluid being added is of the
correct type. Refer to your scheduled maintenance guide to determine
the correct service interval.
Some transmission fluids may be labeled as dual usage, such as
MERCONand MERCONV. These dual usage fluids are not to be used
in an automatic transmission that requires use of the MERCONtype
fluid. However, these dual usage fluids may be used in transmissions that
require the MERCONV type fluid.
MERCONand MERCONV type fluids are not interchangeable.
DO NOT mix MERCONand MERCONV. Use of a transmission
fluid that indicates dual usage (MERCONand MERCONV) in
an automatic transmission application requiring MERCONmay
cause transmission damage. Use of any fluid other than the
recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.
4Approximate dry fill capacity including transmission fluid cooling
system, actual refill capacities will vary based on vehicle application and
transmission fluid cooling system (i.e. coolers size, cooling lines. auxiliary
cooler capacities). The amount of transmission fluid and fluid level
should be set by the indication on the dipstick’s normal operating range.
5Use of synthetic or synthetic blend motor oil is not mandatory. Engine
oil need only meet the requirements of Ford specification
WSS-M2C153–H and the API Certification mark.
OCTANE RECOMMENDATIONS
Your vehicle is designed to use
“Premium”unleaded gasoline with
an (R+M)/2 octane rating of 91 or
higher for optimum performance.
The use of gasolines with lower
octane ratings may degrade performance. We do not recommend the use
of gasolines labeled as“Premium”in high altitude areas that are sold
with octane ratings of less than 91.
If your engine knocks under any driving conditions while you are using
fuel with the recommended octane rating, see your dealer or a qualified
service technician to prevent any engine damage.
