2014 FORD F150 oil type

1
Ford recommends using Motorcraft (Ford) DOT 4 LV High Performance Motor Vehicle
Brake Fluid or equivalent meeting WSS-M6C65-A2. Use of any fluid other than the
recommended fluid may cause degraded brake performance and not meet the Ford
performance standards. Keep brake fluid clean and dry. Contamination with dirt, water,
petroleum products or other materials may result in brake system damage and possible
failure.
2 The design of your engine allows for the use of Motorcraft engine oils or equivalent oils
that meet Ford specifications. It is also acceptable to use an engine oil of recommended
viscosity grade that meets API SN requirements and displays the API certification mark
for gasoline engines.
3 Do not use supplemental engine oil additives in your engine. They are unnecessary and
could lead to engine damage not covered by your Ford warranty.
Do 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 the requirements of the
engine and emission system.
4 Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.
5 Service refill capacity is determined by filling the axle to 1/4-9/16 inch (6-14 millimeter)
below the bottom of the filler hole with the vehicle on a level surface. Add 4 fl oz. (118
milliliters) of Additive Friction Modifier XL-3 (US) / CXL-3 (Canada) or equivalent meeting
Ford specification EST-M2C118-A, for complete fill of 8.8-inch Traction-Lok axles.
6 Filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant, consider the rear axle on your vehicle filled for
life. You do not need to check or change the rear axle lubricant unless you suspect a leak.
Change the rear axle lubricant any time you have submerged the rear axle in water.
7 Service refill capacity is determined by filling the transfer case to the bottom of the filler
hole with the vehicle on a level surface.
8 Make sure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used. Transmission fluid
requirements are indicated on the dipstick blade or the dipstick handle. Before adding,
check the container to verify the fluid is of the correct type. Refer to your scheduled
maintenance information to determine the correct service interval.
Note: Automatic transmissions that require MERCON LV should only use MERCON LV fluid.
Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.
9 Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some applications may vary based on cooler
size and if equipped with an in-tank cooler. Use the indication on the dipstick, showing
the normal operating range, to determine the amount of transmission fluid and the fluid
level.
10 See the Warning below: WARNING
The air conditioning refrigerant system contains refrigerant R-134a under high
pressure. Opening the air conditioning refrigerant system can cause personal injury.
Have the air conditioning refrigerant system serviced only by qualified personnel.
