ENGINE OIL CHECK
1. Make sure that your vehicle is on level ground.
2. Check the oil level before starting the engine, or switch the engine off after
warm up and wait 10 minutes for the
oil to drain into the oil pan.
3. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth.
4. Reinstall the dipstick and make sure it is fully seated.
5. Remove the dipstick again to check the
oil level.
Note: If the oil level is between the
maximum and minimum marks, the oil level
is acceptable. Do not add oil.
6. If the oil level is at the minimum mark, immediately add oil.
7. Reinstall the dipstick. Make sure it is fully seated. Note:
The oil consumption of new engines
reaches its normal level after approximately
3,000 mi (5,000 km).
Adding Engine Oil WARNING:
Do not add engine oil
when the engine is hot. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury. WARNING: Do not remove the filler
cap when the engine is running.
Do not use supplemental engine oil
additives because they are unnecessary
and could lead to engine damage that the
vehicle warranty may not cover.
1. Clean the area surrounding the engine oil filler cap before you remove it.
2. Remove the engine oil filler cap.
3. Add engine oil that meets our specifications. See
Capacities and
Specifications (page 338).
4. Reinstall the engine oil filler cap. Turn it clockwise 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: Immediately soak up any oil spillage
with an absorbent cloth.
Engine Oil Pressure Warning Lamp WARNING:
If it illuminates when
you are driving do not continue your
journey, even if the oil level is correct.
Have your vehicle checked. It illuminates when you switch
the ignition on.

TRACK USE - MACH 1
Operating at High Speeds and
Track Days
Your vehicle is capable of sustained high
speeds and track day driving.
Before operating your vehicle at high
speeds:
•
Verify your tires have the correct
pressures.
• Inspect wheels and tires for wear and
damage. Replace any damaged wheels
and tires.
• Check and set lug nut torque. See
Technical Specifications (page 337).
• Verify fluid levels for oil, coolant, brake
and hydraulic fluid. See
Capacities
and Specifications (page 338).
• Change the engine oil and replace the
engine oil filter prior to use on the track.
Change the engine oil and filter again
after every four hours of track time.
Maintain the engine oil level at or near
the max mark on the engine oil dipstick.
See
Engine Oil Check (page 263).
• Replace the brake fluid with fresh
Motorcraft/Ford DOT 4 LV High
Performance Brake Fluid or other DOT
compliant fluid with a dry boiling point
greater than
500°F (260°C) from a
sealed container. Do not use silicone
or DOT 5 brake fluids. •
If you are operating your Mach 1 on a
drag strip, use drag strip selectable
drive mode in addition to using line lock
and launch control to provide a specific
set-up tuned for the quickest straight
line elapsed times.
• If you are operating your Mach 1 on a
road course, use sport or track
selectable drive modes to provide a
specific set-up tuned for optimal shift
and suspension set-up that is tuned
towards handling prowess on closed
course surfaces.
After operating your vehicle at high speeds
or track day driving, do the following:
• Set the tire pressure to the proper
specification.
• Check and set the lug nut torque. See
Technical Specifications (page
337).
• Check all fluid levels.
• Refer to the track maintenance interval
chart. See
Normal Scheduled
Maintenance (page 452).
• Check the front and rear wheel
bearings for abnormal wear.
• Inspect brake caliper dust boots for
abnormal wear.

is for
track use only. Remember that even
advanced technology cannot defy the
laws of physics. It is always possible to
lose control of a vehicle due to
inappropriate driver input for the
conditions. Aggressive driving on any
road condition can cause you to lose
control of your vehicle increasing the risk
of personal injury or property damage.
