Adding Engine Oil
WARNINGS
Only add oil when the engine is cold.
If the engine is hot, wait 10 minutes
for the engine to cool down.
Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is running.
1. Remove the engine oil filler cap.
2. Add engine oil that meets Ford
specifications. See Capacities and
Specifications (page 274).
3. Replace the engine oil filler cap. Turn it until you feel a strong resistance.
Note: Do not add oil further than the
maximum mark. Oil levels above the
maximum mark may cause engine damage.
Note: Soak up any spillage with an
absorbent cloth immediately.
CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL
AND OIL FILTER WARNINGS
Prolonged and repeated skin contact
with mineral oil will result in the
removal of natural fats from the skin,
leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis.
In addition, used engine oil contains
potentially harmful contaminants, which
may cause skin cancer. If skin contact
occurs, wash the area thoroughly with
soap or skin cleanser and water
immediately. Do not dispose of engine oils or oil
filters in the household refuse or the
public sewage system. Use an
authorized waste disposal facility. Do not remove the oil pan drain plug
when the engine is running. WARNINGS
Do not remove the oil filter when the
engine is running.
1.
Remove the oil pan drain plug and wait
for the oil to drain into a suitable
container.
2. Renew the oil filter.
3. Reinstall the oil pan drain plug.
4. Refill the engine with new oil that meets Ford specifications. See
Capacities and Specifications (page
274).
Note: Do not add oil further than the
maximum mark. Oil levels above the
maximum mark may cause engine damage.
Note: Soak up any spillage with an
absorbent cloth immediately.
5. Reset the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor. See
Oil Change Indicator Reset
(page 214).

• Frequent low-speed operation at
25 mph (40 km/h)
or less.
• Frequent severe dust condition
operation.
• Frequent off-road operation.
• Sustained ambient temperatures of
-9°F (-23°C)

Checking the Engine Coolant
When the engine is cold, check the
concentration and level of the engine
coolant at the intervals listed in the
scheduled maintenance information. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 363).
Note: Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and MAX marks on the coolant
reservoir.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may extend beyond the MAX mark.
Note: If the level is at the MIN mark, below
the MIN mark, or empty, add coolant
immediately. See
Adding Engine Coolant
in this chapter.
The coolant concentration should be
maintained within 48% to 50%, which
equates to a freeze point between -30°F
(-34°C) and -34°F (-37°C).
Note: For best results, coolant
concentration should be tested with a
refractometer, for example Robinair®
Coolant and Battery Refractometer 75240.
We do not recommend the use of
hydrometers or coolant test strips for
measuring coolant concentrations.
Note: Automotive fluids are not
interchangeable. Do not use engine coolant,
antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outside
of its specified function and vehicle location.
Adding Engine Coolant 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.
