2015 FORD F650 check transmission fluid

If an overfill occurs, excess fluid
should be removed by a qualified
technician.
Note:An overfill condition of transmission fluid may cause shift or
engagement concerns or possible damage.
Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or
cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission
operation and result in damage to internal transmission components.
Manual Transmissions
Note:Use of a non-approved transmission fluid may cause internal
transmission component damage.
See theScheduled Maintenancechapter for scheduled intervals for
fluid checks and changes.
Your manual transmission may have an optional synthetic fluid that
allows the use of extended service intervals. A tag on the filler plug
identifies the use of the synthetic fluid.
Only use fluid that meets manufacturer specifications. SeeTechnical
specificationsin theCapacities and Specificationschapter.
Checking Fluid Level
1. Park your vehicle on level ground.
2. Set the parking brake, shift into first gear and turn the engine off.
3. Clean any dirt from around the filler plug.
4. Remove the filler plug and inspect the fluid level. The fluid level
should be at the bottom of the filler plug opening.
5. Add fluid, if necessary, through the filler plug opening.
6. Clean and install the filler plug securely.
Changing Fluid
Drain and refill your transmission fluid while it is warm.
1. Park your vehicle on level ground.
2. Set the parking brake, shift into first gear and turn the engine off.

from the clutch housing.
3. Lubricate the clutch release
bearing (one location) and the
clutch release shaft (two
locations) grease fittings with a
grease gun.
4. Lubricate the clutch release
wear pads (two locations) where
they contact the clutch release
bearing with a brush or similar
tool.
5. Reinstall the inspection cover.
See theScheduled Maintenancechapter for service intervals.
POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK
Note:To avoid damage to the power steering system, do not operate
your vehicle with a low power steering fluid level.

Note:If adding fluid is necessary, use only the appropriate fluid. See the
Capacities and Specificationschapter. A low fluid level may indicate a
leak in the power steering system. Inspect the power steering system
and repair the leak or see an authorized dealer or a qualified technician
for service. See theScheduled Maintenancechapter for the
recommended service intervals.
Check the fluid level when it is at ambient temperature, 20°F–80°F
(-7°C–25°C):
1. Set the parking brake, and then start the engine.
2. Shift into positionNorP(if equipped) (automatic transmission) or
first gear (manual transmission) and turn the engine off.
3. Open the hood.
4. Clean the top of the power steering fluid reservoir.
5. Remove the dipstick from the reservoir and wipe the dipstick clean.
6. Reinstall the dipstick. Remove it again and check the fluid level.
Check the MAX. COLD side of the
dipstick if the fluid is cool or warm
to the touch (approximately
68°F-120°F [20°C-49°C]). The fluid
level should be within the FULL
range. If necessary, add fluid in
small amounts, continuously
checking the level, until it reaches
the proper level.
Check the MAX. HOT side of the
dipstick if the fluid is too hot to
touch (approximately 176°F–230°F
[80°C-110°C]). The fluid level
should be within the FULL range. If
necessary, add fluid in small
amounts, continuously checking the
level, until it reaches the proper
level.
When you install the dipstick, make sure to seat it and tighten it
securely.
You can also check the fluid level by looking at the see-through plastic
reservoir. Make sure that the fluid is within the minimum and maximum
fluid range as marked on the reservoir.

engine to relearn the idle trim may adversely affect the idle quality of
your vehicle until the engine eventually relearns the idle trim.
7. Drive your vehicle to complete the relearning process.
If you disconnect the battery or install a new battery, you have to reset
the clock and radio settings after reconnecting the battery.
Always dispose of automotive
batteries in a responsible manner.
Follow your local authorized
standards for disposal. Call your
local authorized recycling center to
find out more about recycling
automotive batteries.

Additives and Chemicals
This owner’s manual and the Ford Workshop Manual list the
recommended additives and chemicals for your vehicle. We do not
recommend using chemicals or additives not approved by us as part of
your vehicle’s normal maintenance. Please consult your warranty
information.
Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a normal operating characteristic
and, by itself, does not necessarily indicate a concern or that the fluid
needs to be changed. However, a qualified expert, such as the
factory-trained technicians at your dealership, should inspect discolored
fluids that also show signs of overheating or foreign material
contamination immediately.
Make sure to change your vehicle’s oils and fluids at the specified
intervals or in conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a viable way to
change fluid for many vehicle sub-systems during scheduled
maintenance. It is critical that systems are flushed only with new fluid
that is the same as that required to fill and operate the system or using a
Ford-approved flushing chemical.
Owner Checks and Services
You should perform certain basic maintenance checks and inspections
monthly or at six-month intervals.
