7. The fluid level should be within
1/4 inch (6 mm) of the plug threads.
8. Replace the check plug.
Adjusting eCVT fluid levels
Before adding any fluid, make sure the correct type is used. The type of
fluid used is indicated in theMaintenance product specifications and
capacitiessection in this chapter.
Use of a non-approved fluid may cause internal transaxle
component damage.
If the fluid level is low, add fluid through the check port until the level is
correct and fluid begins to run out of the transmission. If an overfill
occurs, excess fluid should be removed by allowing the fluid to run out
of the check port.
A serious overfill condition of transmission fluid may cause
damage.
Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or
cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission
operation and result in damage to internal transmission components.
AIR FILTER
Refer toscheduled maintenance informationfor the appropriate
intervals for changing the air filter element.
When changing the air filter element, use only the Motorcraft air filter
element listed. Refer toMotorcraft part numbersin this chapter.
To reduce the risk of vehicle damage and/or personal burn
injuries do not start your engine with the air cleaner removed
and do not remove it while the engine is running.
