1Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.
2If your vehicle’s rear axle is filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant it
is considered lubricated for life. These 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 1/4 inch to 9/16 inch (6 mm to 14 mm) below bottom of fill hole.
Add 4 oz. (118 ml) of Additive Friction Modifier XL–3 or equivalent

meeting Ford specification EST-M2C118–A, for complete refill of 8.8 inch
and 9.75 inch Traction-Lok axles.
3Fill Dana rear axles to 1/4 inch to 9/16 inch (6 mm to 14 mm) below
bottom of fill hole. Fill Visteon axles 1/4 inch to 9/16 inch (6 mm to 14
mm) below bottom of fill hole.
4Visteon Traction-Lok axles require 4 oz. (118 ml) of Additive Friction
Modifier XL–3 or equivalent. Dana limited-slip axles (E250/350/450/550)
require 8 oz. (237ml) of Additive Friction Modifier XL–3 or equivalent
meeting Ford specification EST-M2C118-A.
5Optional fuel tank 55 gallon (208 L).
6Ensure 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 yourscheduled maintenance informationto
determine the correct service interval.
Some transmission fluids may be labeled as dual usage, such as
MERCON
and MERCON
V. These dual usage fluids are not to be used
in an automatic transmission that requires use of the MERCON
type
fluid. However, these dual usage fluids may be used in transmissions that
require the MERCON
V type fluid.
MERCON
, MERCON
V and MERCON
SP are not
interchangeable. DO NOT mix MERCON
, MERCON
V and
MERCON
SP. Use of dual usage fluids in an automatic
transmission application requiring MERCON
SP may cause
transmission damage. Use of a transmission fluid other than the
recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.
7Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some applications may vary
based on cooler size, if equipped with an in-tank cooler, if equipped an
oil to air cooler and if equipped with a remote filter assembly. The
amount of transmission fluid and fluid level should be set by the
indication on the dipstick’s normal operating range.
8Use of synthetic or synthetic blend motor oil is not mandatory. Engine
oil need only meet the requirements of Ford specification
WSS-M2C930-A and the API Certification mark.
