2022 FORD F-650/750 check transmission fluid

4. Check the coolant level. If the coolant
level is at or below the minimum mark,
add prediluted coolant immediately.
5. When the engine temperature cools, you can re-start the engine. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible to
minimize engine damage.
Note: Driving your vehicle without repair
increases the chance of engine damage.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Management (If Equipped) WARNING:
To reduce the risk of
crash and injury, be prepared that the
vehicle speed may reduce and the
vehicle may not be able to accelerate
with full power until the coolant
temperature reduces.
If you tow a trailer with your vehicle, the
engine may temporarily reach a higher
temperature during severe operating
conditions, for example ascending a long
or steep grade in high ambient
temperatures.
At this time, you may notice the coolant
temperature gauge moves toward the red
zone and a message may appear in the
information display.
You may notice a reduction in vehicle
speed caused by reduced engine power in
order to manage the engine coolant
temperature. Your vehicle may enter this
mode if certain high-temperature and
high-load conditions take place. The
amount of speed reduction depends on
vehicle loading, grade and ambient
temperature. If this occurs, there is no
need to pull off the road. You can continue
to drive your vehicle. The air conditioning may turn on and off
during severe operating conditions to
protect the engine from overheating. When
the coolant temperature decreases to the
normal operating temperature, the air
conditioning turns on.
If the coolant temperature gauge moves
fully into the red zone, or if the coolant
temperature warning or service engine
soon messages appear in your information
display, do the following:
1. Pull off the road as soon as safely
possible and shift the transmission into
park (P).
2. Leave the engine running until the coolant temperature gauge needle
returns to the normal position. After
several minutes, if the temperature
does not drop, follow the remaining
steps.
3. Switch the engine off and wait for it to
cool. Check the coolant level.
4. If the coolant level is at or below the minimum mark, add prediluted coolant
immediately.
5. If the coolant level is normal, restart the engine and continue.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID CHECK
The transmission does not consume fluid.
However, check the fluid level if the
transmission is not working properly, for
example if the transmission slips, shifts
slowly or if there are signs of fluid loss.
Replace the transmission fluid and filter
on your vehicle at the specified service
interval. See
Scheduled Maintenance
(page 321).
Automatic transmission fluid expands
when warmed. To check the fluid level
consistently and accurately, do the
following:
241
2022 F650750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202010, Second-Printing Maintenance

1.
Drive the vehicle until it reaches normal
operating temperature. This may take
up to 20 mi (30 km). Make sure that
the transmission fluid temperature
gauge on the instrument cluster is
within normal operating temperature
196– 215°F (91– 102°C)
before
checking.
2. Make sure that your vehicle is on level ground.
3. With the engine running, parking brake
engaged and your foot on the brake
pedal, move the gearshift lever through
all of the gear ranges. Allow sufficient
time for each gear to engage.
4. Make sure the parking brake is on. Make
sure the transmission is in park (P) or
neutral (N) and leave the engine
running.
5. Open the hood. See
Opening and
Closing the Hood (page 219).
6. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth. See
Under
Hood Overview (page 221).
7. Replace the dipstick and remove it again to check the fluid level.
8. If the fluid level is correct, replace the dipstick and make sure it is fully seated.
Note: If the fluid level is between the
maximum and minimum marks, the fluid
level is acceptable. Do not add fluid. Transmission Fluid Level
Low Fluid Level If the fluid level is at or below the minimum
mark, add fluid immediately. See
Automatic Transmission Fluid
Capacity and Specification (page 300).
Note:
If there is no indication of fluid on the
dipstick, have your vehicle checked
immediately.
Correct Fluid Level Make sure that the fluid level is between
the maximum and minimum marks.

2022 F650750 (TBC) , enUSA, Edition date: 202010, Second-Printing MaintenanceE163740 E163742

High Fluid Level
Do not add fluid further than the maximum
mark. Fluid levels above the maximum
mark could cause shift or engagement
concerns and possible damage.
Note:
An overheating condition can cause
high fluid levels.
Adding Transmission Fluid
Do not use supplemental transmission
fluid additives, treatments or cleaning
agents. The use of these materials could
affect transmission operation and result
in damage to internal transmission
components and could lead to
transmission damage that the vehicle
Warranty does not cover.
Use only recommended transmission fluid
that meets our specifications. See
Automatic Transmission Fluid
Capacity and Specification (page 300).
Note: Use of a non-approved automatic
transmission fluid could cause internal
transmission component damage.
If necessary, add fluid in 8 fl oz (250 ml)
increments through the filler tube until the
level is correct.
If an overfill occurs, remove excess fluid
and have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. BRAKE FLUID CHECK WARNING:
Do not use any fluid
other than the recommended brake fluid
as this will reduce brake efficiency. Use
of incorrect fluid could result in the loss
of vehicle control, serious personal injury
or death. WARNING:
Only use brake fluid
from a sealed container. Contamination
with dirt, water, petroleum products or
other materials may result in brake
system damage or failure. Failure to
adhere to this warning could result in the
loss of vehicle control, serious personal
injury or death. WARNING:
Do not allow the fluid
to touch your skin or eyes. If this
happens, rinse the affected areas
immediately with plenty of water and
contact your physician. WARNING:
The brake system
could be affected if the brake fluid level
is below the MIN mark or above the MAX
mark on the brake fluid reservoir.

Be sure to ask your dealership service
advisor or technician about the multi-point
vehicle inspection. It is a comprehensive
way to perform a thorough inspection of
your vehicle. Your checklist gives you
immediate feedback on the overall
condition of your vehicle. NORMAL SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor™ -
Diesel Engine Only
Your diesel engine has an Intelligent
Oil-Life Monitor that determines when you
should change the engine oil based on how
you use your vehicle. By using several
important factors in its calculations, the
monitor helps reduce the cost of owning
your vehicle and reduces environmental
waste at the same time.
