6.
Wipe the dipstick clean. Insert the dipstick
fully, then remove it again.
•If the oil level is between the lower
and upper holes, the oil level is
acceptable. DO NOT ADD OIL.
• If the oil level is below the lower hole,
add enough oil to raise the level within
the lower and upper holes.
• Oil levels above the upper hole may
cause engine damage. Some oil must
be removed from the engine by an
authorized dealer.
7. Put the oil level dipstick back into the oil dipstick tube and ensure it is fully seated.
Adding Engine Oil
Note: Do not remove the filler cap when the
engine is running.
Note: Do not remove the engine oil level
dipstick 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. Check the engine oil level.
2. If the engine oil level is not within the
normal range, add engine oil that meets
Ford specifications. See Capacities and
Specifications (page 290).
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap and use a funnel to pour the engine oil into the
opening. 4. Recheck the engine oil level. Make sure
the oil level is not above the normal
operating range on the engine oil level
dipstick.
5. Install the engine oil level dipstick and ensure it is fully seated.
6. Fully install the engine oil filler cap by turning the filler cap clockwise until three
clicks are heard or until the cap is fully
seated.
OIL CHANGE INDICATOR RESET
To reset the oil monitoring system after an
oil change, See General Information (page

ENGINE COOLANT CHECK WARNINGS
Do not add engine coolant when the
engine is hot. Steam and scalding
liquids released from a hot cooling
system can burn you badly. Also, spilling
coolant on hot engine parts can burn you.

Your vehicle is equipped with a Motorcraft
maintenance-free battery which normally
does not require additional water during its
life of service.
For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the
top of the battery clean and dry. Also, make
certain the battery cables are always tightly
fastened to the battery terminals.
If you see any corrosion on the battery or
terminals, remove the cables from the
terminals and clean with a wire brush. You
can neutralize the acid with a solution of
baking soda and water.
It is recommended that the negative battery
cable terminal be disconnected from the
battery if you plan to store your vehicle for
an extended period of time.
Because your vehicle
’s engine is electronically
controlled by a computer, some control
conditions are maintained by power from the
battery. When the battery is disconnected or
a new battery is installed, the engine must
relearn its idle and fuel trim strategy for
optimum driveability and performance.
Flexible fuel vehicles (FFV) must also relearn
the ethanol content of the fuel for optimum
driveability and performance. To begin this
process: 1.
With your vehicle at a complete stop, set
the parking brake.
2. Put the gearshift in P(Park), turn off all
accessories.
3. Start the engine. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
4. Allow the engine to idle for at least one minute.
5. Turn the air conditioning on and allow the
engine to idle for at least one minute. 6.
Release the parking brake. With your foot
on the brake pedal and with the air
conditioning on, put your vehicle in D
(Drive) and allow the engine to idle for at
least one minute.
• If you do not allow the engine to
relearn its idle trim, the idle quality of
your vehicle may be adversely
affected until the idle trim is
eventually relearned.
7. Drive your vehicle to complete the relearning process
•Your vehicle may need to be driven 10
miles (16 kilometers) or more to
relearn the idle and fuel trim strategy
along with the ethanol content for
flexible fuel vehicles.
• For flexible fuel vehicles, if you are
operating on E85, you may experience
poor starts or an inability to start the
engine and driveability problems until
the fuel trim and ethanol content
have been relearned.
If the battery has been disconnected or a new
battery has been installed, the clock and
radio settings must be reset once the battery
is reconnected.
