ENGINE OIL CHECK
Note: Check the level before starting the
engine.
Note: Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and the MAX marks.
1. Make sure that your vehicle is on level
ground.
2. Turn the engine off and wait 10 minutes for the oil to drain into the oil
pan.
3. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth. Replace the
dipstick and remove it again to check
the oil level.
If the level is at the MIN mark, add oil
immediately.
Adding Engine Oil
Note: Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is running. Note:
Do not add oil further than the MAX
mark. Oil levels above the MAX mark may
cause engine damage. Only use oils certified for gasoline engines
by the American Petroleum Institute (API).
An oil with this trademark symbol conforms
to the current engine and emission system
protection standards and fuel economy
requirements of the International
Lubricants Specification Advisory Council
(ILSAC), comprised of U.S. and Japanese
automobile manufacturers.
1. Remove the filler cap.
2. Add engine oil that meets the Ford
specifications. See Capacities and
Specifications (page 302).
3. Replace the filler cap. Turn it until you feel a strong resistance.

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 Approximate dry fill capacity. Actual amount may vary during fluid changes.
3 Automatic transmissions that require Motorcraft MERCON LV transmission fluid should
only use Motorcraft MERCON LV transmission fluid.
Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause transmission\
damage.
Change the automatic transmission fluid and filter at the correct servic\
e interval. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 412).
4 The design of your engine allows for the use of Motorcraft engine oils o\
r equivalent oils
that meet Ford specifications. It is also acceptable to use an engine oi\
l of recommended
viscosity grade that meets API SN requirements and displays the API cert\
ification mark
for gasoline engines.
5 Do not use supplemental engine oil additives, cleaners or other engine t\
reatments. They
are unnecessary and could lead to engine damage not covered by Ford warr\
anty.
6 Do not use API S category oils labeled as SN, SM, SL or lower category u\
nless the label
also displays the API certification mark. These oils do not meet the req\
uirements of the
engine and emission system.
7 You can use 5W-20 oil if 0W-20 oil is not available.
8 Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.
9 See the warning below: WARNING
The air conditioning refrigerant system contains refrigerant R-134a unde\
r high
pressure. Opening the air conditioning refrigerant system can cause personal inj\
ury.
Have the air conditioning refrigerant system serviced only by qualified \
personnel. 308
