AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECK
Note:Transmission fluid should be checked by an authorized dealer.
If required, fluid should be added by an authorized dealer.
The automatic transmission does not have a transmission fluid dipstick.
Refer to yourscheduled maintenance informationfor scheduled
intervals for fluid checks and changes. Your transmission does not
consume fluid. However, the fluid level should be checked if the
transmission is not working properly, (i.e., if the transmission slips or
shifts slowly) or if you notice some sign of fluid leakage.
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.
BRAKE FLUID CHECK
Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX lines are within the normal
operating range; there is no need to add fluid. If the fluid levels are
outside of the normal operating range, the performance of the system
could be compromised; seek service from your authorized dealer
immediately.
POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK
Check the power steering fluid. Refer toscheduled maintenance
information.
1. Start the engine and let it run until it reaches normal operating
temperature (the engine coolant temperature gauge indicator will be
near the center of the normal area between H and C).
2. While the engine idles, turn the steering wheel left and right several
times.
3. Turn the engine off.
4. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. It should be between the MIN
and MAX lines. Do not add fluid if the level is in this range.
5. If the fluid is low, add fluid in small amounts, continuously checking
the level until it reaches the range between the MIN and MAX lines.
Be sure to put the cap back on the reservoir. Refer to theCapacities
and Specificationschapter for the proper fluid type.

3We have designed your engine to use Motorcraft motor oils or equivalent oil brands that meet our
specifications. Motor oils of the recommended viscosity grade that meet API SN requirements and display
the API Certification Mark for gasoline engines are also acceptable.4Do not use API S category oils labeled as SN, SM, SL or lower category unless the label also displays the
API certification mark. These oils do not meet all the requirements of your vehicles engine and emission
system.5Do not use supplemental engine oil additives in your engine. They are unnecessary and could lead to
engine damage that is not covered by your Ford warranty.6Automatic transmissions that require MERCON™ LV should only use MERCON LV fluid. Refer to
scheduled maintenance informationto determine the correct service interval. Use of any fluid other than
the recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.7Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some applications may vary based on cooler size and if
equipped with an in-tank cooler.8Your vehicle’s rear axle is filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant and is considered lubricated for life.
These lubricants are not to be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is required or the axle
has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should be changed any time the axle has been submerged
in water.9Add 4 oz. (118 ml) of Additive Friction Modifier XL-3 or equivalent for complete refill of Ford limited slip
rear axles.10Warning:The air conditioning refrigerant system contains refrigerant R–134a under high pressure.
Opening and air conditioning refrigerant system can cause personal injury. Only qualified personnel should
service the air conditioning refrigerant system.
