7. Add prediluted coolant to the coolant reservoir until the coolant level
is between the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir.
8. Reinstall the pressure relief cap.
9. Check the coolant level in the reservoir before you drive your vehicle
the next few times (with the engine cool).
10. If necessary, add prediluted coolant to the coolant reservoir until the
coolant level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir.
Whenever coolant has been added, the coolant level in the coolant
reservoir should be checked the next few times you drive the vehicle. If
necessary, add prediluted coolant to bring the coolant level to the proper
level.
If you have to add more than 1.0 quart (1.0 liter) of coolant per month,
have your dealer check the cooling system. Your cooling system may
have a leak. Operating an engine with a low level of coolant can result in
engine overheating and possible engine damage.
ENGINE SPARK PLUG INTERVAL
To keep your high performance engine operating at peak performance,
the spark plug service interval is every 45000 miles (72000 kilometers).
See the Motorcraft® Part Numbers chart for the specific spark plug
application.
OCTANE RECOMMENDATIONS
Premium unleaded gasoline with an
(R+M)/2 octane rating of 91 or
higher is required. SVT recommends
using unleaded gasoline with octane
rating of 93 or higher for optimal
performance of this vehicle.
Recommended fuel is an important part of the proper maintenance and
optimal performance of this vehicle. The use of gasoline with an octane
rating lower than 91 can lead to severe mechanical damage to your
vehicle, may degrade vehicle performance, and may affect your warranty
coverage.
