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.
