1 Motorcraft® DOT 3 High Performance Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid is for vehicles with
Hydroboost brake booster systems. This include chassis with gross vehicle weight ratings
of 16,000 lb (7257 kg), 18,000 lb (8165 kg) and 19,500 lb (8845 kg).
2 Motorcraft® DOT 5.1 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid is for vehicles with Hydromax brake
booster systems. This is includes chassis with gross vehicle weight ratings of 19,500 lb
(8845 kg), 20,500 lb (9299 kg), 22,000 lb (9979 kg), 24,000 lb (10886 kg) and 26,000
lb (11793 kg).
If you use oil and fluids that do not meet
the defined specification and viscosity
grade, this may lead to:
• Component damage which is not
covered by the vehicle warranty.
• Longer engine cranking periods.
• Increased emission levels.
• Reduced engine performance.
• Reduced fuel economy.
• Degraded brake performance.
We recommend Motorcraft® motor oil for
your vehicle. If Motorcraft® oil is not
available, use motor oils of the
recommended viscosity grade that meet
API SN requirements and display the API
Certification Mark for gasoline engines. Do
not use oil labeled with API SN service
category unless the label also displays the
API certification mark. An oil that displays this symbol conforms
to current engine, emission system and
fuel economy performance standards of
the International Lubricants Specification
Advisory Committee (ILSAC).
Do not use supplemental engine oil
additives because they are unnecessary
and could lead to engine damage that may
not be covered by your vehicle warranty.

Note:
Ford recommends using DOT 3 High
Performance Brake Fluid or equivalent
meeting WSS-M6C65-A1 or DOT 5.1 Motor
Vehicle Brake Fluid WSS-M6C65-A3. Use
of any fluid other than the recommended
fluid may cause degraded brake
performance and not meet the Ford
performance standards. Keep brake fluid
clean and dry. Contamination with dirt,
water, petroleum products or other
materials may result in brake system
damage and possible failure.
Note: Automatic transmissions that require
MERCON LV transmission fluid should only
use MERCON LV transmission fluid. The
use of any other fluid may cause
transmission damage.
