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.
