1 Use only Motorcraft DOT 4 LV High Performance Motor Vehicle Brake or equivalent
meeting WSS-M6C65-A1. Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause
brake system damage.
2 Approximate dry fill capacity. Actual amount may vary during fluid changes.
3 Automatic transmissions that require Motorcraft MERCON LV transmission fluid should
only use Motorcraft MERCON LV transmission fluid.
Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.
Change the automatic transmission fluid and filter at the correct service interval. See the
Scheduled Maintenance chapter for service intervals.
