is specified dual usage MERCON/MERCONV. Refer toscheduled maintenanceto determine
the correct service interval. Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause
transmission damage.5Service 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.6Traction-Lok axles use 4.75-5.0 pints (2.2-2.4L) of rear axle lubricant.7Service refill capacities are determined by filling the rear axle 1/4 inch to 9/16 inch (6mm to
14mm) below the bottom of the filler hole.8Add 4 oz. (118 ml) of Additive Friction Modifier XL-3 or equivalent meeting Ford specification
EST-M2C118-A for complete refill of Traction-Lok axles.
