of transmission fluid and fluid level should be set by the indication on
the dipstick’s normal operating range.
3Service refill capacity for the manual transmission is determined by
filling the transmission to the bottom of the filler hole with the vehicle
on a level surface.
4Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.
5Traction-Lok axles use 2.2 –2.4L (4.75 –5.0 pints) of rear axle lubricant.
6Add 118 ml (4 oz.) of Additive Friction Modifier XL –3 or equivalent
meeting Ford specification EST-M2C118 –A for complete refill of
Traction-Lok axles.
Service refill capacities are determined by filling the rear axle 6 mm to
14 mm (1/4 inch to 9/16 inch) below the bottom of the filler hole.
7Use 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.
