1Motorcraft DOT 4 Low Viscosity (LV) High Performance Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid is forvehicles with Hydroboost brake booster systems. This include chassis with gross vehicleweight ratings of 16,000 lb (7257 kg), 18,000 lb (8165 kg) and 19,500 lb (8845 kg).2Motorcraft DOT 5.1 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid is for vehicles with Hydromax brake boostersystems. This is includes chassis with gross vehicle weight ratings of 20,500 lb (9299kg), 22,000 lb (9979 kg), 24,000 lb (10886 kg) and 26,000 lb (11793 kg).
If you use oil and fluids that do not meetthe defined specification and viscositygrade, this may lead to:
•Component damage which is notcovered by the vehicle warranty.
•Longer engine cranking periods.
•Increased emission levels.
•Reduced engine performance.
•Reduced fuel economy.
•Degraded brake performance.
Use of synthetic or synthetic blend motoroil is not mandatory. Only use fluid thatmeets Ford specifications. Motor oils ofthe recommended viscosity grade thatmeet API SN requirements and display theAPI Certification Mark for gasoline enginesare also acceptable. Do not use oil labeledwith API SN service category unless thelabel also displays the API certificationmark.
An oil that displays this symbol conformsto current engine, emission system andfuel economy performance standards ofthe International Lubricant Standardizationand Approval Committee (ILSAC).
Do not use supplemental engine oiladditives because they are unnecessaryand could lead to engine damage that maynot be covered by your vehicle warranty.
