3Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some applications may vary based on cooler size, if equipped
with an in-tank cooler, if equipped with 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.4Automatic transmissions that require MERCONLV should only use MERCONLV fluid. Refer toscheduled
maintenance informationto determine the correct service interval. Use of any fluid other than the
recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.5Dana limited-slip axle (M60) requires 6 oz. (177 ml) of Additive Friction Modifier XL-3 or equivalent meeting
Ford specification EST-M2C118-A.6If 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.7Fill Dana rear axles to 1/4 inch to 9/16 inch (6 mm to 14 mm) below bottom of fill hole.8Optional fuel tank 55.0 gallons (208.0L).
