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.2Approximate dry fill capacity. Actual amount may vary during fluid changes.3Automatic transmissions that require MERCON LV should only use MERCON LV fluid. Refer to
