ENGINE OIL CHECK
1. Make sure that your vehicle is on level ground.
2. Check the oil before starting the engine
or switch the engine off 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. Remove it again to
check the oil level.
5. If the oil level is between the maximum
and minimum marks, the oil level is
acceptable. Do not add oil.

1. Remove the two sensor wire harness
retainers from the air box studs located
on the front side of the air box.
2. Remove the four studs that fasten the upper air box housing to the lower air
box housing.
3. Separate the upper air box housing from the lower air box housing.
4. Loosen the air filter clamp enough to allow the filter to slip off the housing
easily.
5. Remove the air filter from the air filter housing.
6. Wipe the newly-exposed air filter outlet
tube clamping area clean to remove
any dirt or debris.
7. Install a new air filter, taking care not to damage the air filter element. Align
the tab on the closed end of the filter
with the notch in the air filter housing.
8. Tighten the air filter clamp down.
Note: Do not overtighten the clamp or studs
when reinstalling.
9. Reinstall the upper air box piece to the
lower air box piece. Tighten the 4 studs
down.
10. Reinstall the two sensor wire harness
retainers to the mating air box studs.
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK
Check the concentration and level of
engine coolant at the mileage intervals
listed in the scheduled maintenance
information.
Note: Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and MAX marks on the engine and
coolant reservoirs.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level could extend beyond the
MAX mark.
If the level is at the MIN mark, add coolant
immediately. Maintain the coolant concentration within
48% to 50%, which equates to a freeze
point between -30°F (-34°C) and -34°F
(-37°C).
Note:
For best results, test coolant
concentration with a refractometer, such as
Rotunda tool 300-ROB75240, available
from your dealer. We do not recommend
the use of hydrometers or coolant test strips
for measuring coolant concentrations.
Be sure to read and understand
Precautions in your Owner ’s Manual. If you
do not check the coolant at the
recommended interval, the engine coolant
reservoir could become low or empty. If
the reservoir is low or empty, add coolant
to the reservoir.
Note: Automotive fluids are not
interchangeable. Do not use engine coolant,
antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outside
of its specified function and vehicle
location. For more information about engine
coolant, see the Maintenance chapter of the
Owner ’s Manual.
Adding Coolant WARNING:
Do not add engine
coolant when the engine is on or the
cooling system is hot. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in personal
injury. WARNING:
Do not put coolant in
the windshield washer reservoir. If
sprayed on the windshield, coolant could
make it difficult to see through the
windshield.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of
personal injury, make sure the engine is
cool before unscrewing the coolant
pressure relief cap. The cooling system
is under pressure. Steam and hot liquid
can come out forcefully when you loosen
the cap slightly. WARNING:
Do not add coolant
further than the MAX mark.
Note: Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling
system sealants, or additives as they can
cause damage to the engine cooling or
heating systems. Your vehicle warranty
would not cover this damage.
• DO NOT MIX different colors or types
of coolant in your vehicle. Make sure
you use the correct coolant. Mixing of
engine coolants could harm your
engine ’s cooling system. The use of an
improper coolant could harm engine
and cooling system components and
could void the warranty.
• In case of emergency, you can add a
large amount of water without engine
coolant, in order to reach a vehicle
service location. In this instance, drain
the cooling system, chemically clean
the system with Motorcraft® Premium
Cooling System Flush, and refill with
prediluted coolant as soon as possible.
Water alone without engine coolant
can cause engine damage from
corrosion, overheating or freezing.
Note: Do not use alcohol, methanol or brine
or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol
or methanol antifreeze coolant. Alcohol and
other liquids can cause engine damage from
overheating or freezing.
Note: Do not add extra inhibitors or
additives to the coolant. These can be
harmful and compromise the corrosion
protection of the engine coolant. Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure
could escape as you unscrew the cap.
Add prediluted engine coolant meeting our
specification. See the Capacities and
Specifications chapter of the Owner's
Manual for more information. Whenever
you add coolant, check the coolant level
in the coolant reservoir the next few times
you drive the vehicle. If necessary, add
enough prediluted coolant to bring the
coolant level to the proper level.
Coolant Refill Procedure
Use the following procedure when refilling
the cooling system after it has been
drained or become extremely low.
1. Remove the pressure relief cap from
the coolant reservoir as previously
outlined.
2. Slowly add prediluted coolant to the coolant reservoir until the coolant level
is between the
MIN and MAX marks
on the reservoir.
3. Reinstall the pressure relief cap.
4. Start and idle the engine until the upper
radiator hose is warm, which indicates
the thermostat is open and coolant is
flowing through the entire system.
5. Shut the engine off and let it cool.
6. Remove the pressure relief cap from the coolant reservoir as previously
outlined.
7. Add prediluted coolant to the coolant reservoir until the coolant level is
between the
MIN and MAX marks on
the reservoir.
8. Reinstall the pressure relief cap.
9. Check the coolant level in the reservoir
before you drive your vehicle the next
few times with the engine cool.

10. If necessary, add prediluted coolant
to the coolant reservoir until the
coolant level is between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir.
Whenever you add coolant, check the
coolant level in the coolant reservoir the
next few times you drive the vehicle. If
necessary, add prediluted coolant to bring
the coolant level to the proper level.
If you have to add more than
1 qt (1 L) of
coolant per month, have your dealer check
the cooling system. Your cooling system
could have a leak. Operating an engine
with a low level of coolant can result in
engine overheating and engine damage.

Multi-Point Inspection
In order to keep your vehicle running right,
it is important to have the systems on your
vehicle checked regularly. This can help
identify potential issues and prevent major
problems. We recommend having the
following multi-point inspection performed
at every scheduled maintenance interval
to help make sure your vehicle keeps
running great.Multi-Point inspection

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

Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor™
Your vehicle 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.
