1Use only brake fluids certified to meet Ford specifications.2Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.3Use 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.4Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some applications may vary based on cooler size and
if equipped with an in-tank cooler. The amount of transmission fluid and fluid level should be set
by the indication on the dipstick’s normal operating range.5Automatic transmissions that require MERCONV should only use MERCONV fluid. Refer to
scheduled maintenance informationto determine the correct service interval. Use of any fluid
other than the recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.6Add 4.0 oz. (118 ml) of Additive Friction Modifier XL-3 or equivalent meeting Ford specification
EST-M2C118-A for complete refill of Traction-Lok rear axles only.7Service refill capacities are determined by filling the rear axle 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch (6 mm to
13 mm) below the bottom of the filler hole.8Rear axles are considered lubricated for life when the vehicle is used for normal service. For
severe duty requirements, seeExceptionsandSpecial Operating Conditionsinscheduled
