AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID CHECK
WARNING
The dipstick cap and surroundingcomponents may be hot; gloves arerecommended.
Note:Automatic transmission fluidexpands when warmed. To obtain anaccurate fluid check, drive the vehicle untilit is at normal operating temperature(approximately 20 miles [30 km]). If yourvehicle has been operated for an extendedperiod at high speeds, in city traffic duringhot weather or pulling a trailer, the vehicleshould be turned off for about 30 minutesto allow fluid to cool to normal operatingtemperature 150°F - 170°F (66°C - 77°C)before checking.
Refer to your scheduled maintenanceinformation for scheduled intervals for fluidchecks and changes.
Your transmission does not consume fluid.However, the fluid level should be checkedif the transmission is not working properly,(i.e., if the transmission slips or shiftsslowly) or if you notice some sign of fluidleakage. To check the fluid level:
1.Drive the vehicle 20 miles (30 km) oruntil it reaches normal operatingtemperature
2.Park the vehicle on a level surface andengage the parking brake
3.With the engine running, parking brakeengaged and your foot on the brakepedal, move the gearshift lever throughall of the gear ranges. Allow sufficienttime for each gear to engage
4.Latch the gearshift lever in P (Park)and leave the engine running.
5.Remove the dipstick, wiping it cleanwith a clean, dry lint free rag. Ifnecessary, refer to Under HoodOverview in this chapter for thelocation of the dipstick.
6.Install the dipstick making sure it is fullyseated in the filler tube.
7.Remove the dipstick and inspect thefluid level. The fluid should be in thedesignated area for normal operatingtemperature or ambient temperature.
Do not use supplemental transmissionfluid additives, treatments or cleaningagents. The use of these materials mayaffect transmission operation and resultin damage to internal transmissioncomponents.
Low fluid level
Do not drive the vehicle if there is noindication of fluid on the dipstick and theambient temperature is above 50°F(10°C).
Correct fluid level
79Motorhome (TY3) , enUSAMaintenanceE161551 E161552

The transmission fluid should be in thisrange if at normal operating temperature(150°F-170°F [66°C-77°C]).
The transmission fluid should be checkedat normal operating temperature150°F-170°F (66°C-77°C) on a levelsurface. The normal operating temperaturecan be reached after approximately 20miles (30 km) of driving. You can checkthe fluid without driving if the ambienttemperature is above 50°F (10°C).However, if fluid is added at this time, anoverfill condition could result when thevehicle reaches normal operatingtemperature
High fluid level
Fluid levels above the safe range mayresult in transmission failure. An overfillcondition of transmission fluid may causeshift and/or engagement concerns and/orpossible damage. High fluid levels can becaused by an overheating condition.
Adjusting automatic transmissionfluid levels
Note:Use of a non-approved automatictransmission fluid may cause internaltransmission damage. Before adding anyfluid, make sure the correct type is used. Thetype of fluid used is normally indicated onthe transmission dipstick and also in theSee Capacities and Specifications (page111).
Add fluid in ½ pint (250 ml) incrementsthrough the filler tube until the level iscorrect.
Note:If an overfill occurs, excess fluidshould be removed by an authorized dealer.An overfill condition of transmission fluidmay cause shift and/or engagementconcerns and/or possible damage.
Do not use supplemental transmissionfluid additives, treatments or cleaningagents. The use of these materials mayaffect transmission operation and resultin damage to internal transmissioncomponents.
Automatic transmission fluid filter
The TorqShift™ automatic transmissionis equipped with a serviceable transmissionfluid filter located inside the transmissionbottom pan. Refer to the scheduledmaintenance information for serviceintervals for the automatic transmissionfluid and transmission filter. Fortransmission filter maintenance, see yourauthorized dealer.
BRAKE FLUID CHECK
Fluid levels between the MIN and MAXlines are within the normal operating range;there is no need to add fluid. If the fluidlevels are outside of the normal operatingrange, the performance of the systemcould be compromised; seek service fromyour authorized dealer immediately.

1Ford recommends using Motorcraft (Ford) DOT 4 LV High Performance Motor VehicleBrake Fluid or equivalent meeting WSS-M6C65-A2. Use of any fluid other than therecommended fluid may cause degraded brake performance and not meet the Fordperformance standards. Keep brake fluid clean and dry. Contamination with dirt, water,petroleum products or other materials may result in brake system damage and possiblefailure.
2Capacity is approximate and will vary due to second-stage manufacturer completionof HVAC system. Fill to the Cold Fill Level on reservoir.
3Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.
4The design of your engine allows for the use of Motorcraft engine oils or equivalent oilsthat meet Ford specifications. It is also acceptable to use an engine oil of recommendedviscosity grade that meets API SN requirements and displays the API certification markfor gasoline engines.
5Do not use supplemental engine oil additives in your engine. They are unnecessary andcould lead to engine damage not covered by your warranty.
6Do not use API category oils labeled SN, SM, SL or lower category unless the label alsodisplays the API certification mark. These oils do not meet the requirements of yourengine and emission systems.
7Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some applications may vary based oncooler size and if equipped with in-tank cooler. Use the indication on the dipstick, showingthe normal operating range, to determine the amount of transmission fluid and the fluidlevel.
8Automatic transmissions that require Motorcraft MERCON LV transmission fluid shouldonly use Motorcraft MERCON LV transmission fluid. Use of any fluid other than therecommended fluid may cause transmission damage. Change the automatic transmis-sion fluid and filter at the correct service interval.
9Filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant, consider the rear axle on your vehicle filledfor life. You do not need to check or change the rear axle lubricant unless you suspecta leak. Change the rear axle lubricant any time you have submerged the rear axle inwater.
