1Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.2Fill 6 millimeter to 14 millimeter (1/4 inch to 9/16 inch) below bottom of fill hole.
Your vehicle’s rear axle is filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant and is considered lubricated for
life. These lubricants do not need to be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is
required or the axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should be changed
any time the rear axle has been submerged in water.3Ensure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used. Transmission fluid requirements are
indicated on the dipstick or on the dipstick handle. Check the container to verify the fluid being
added is of the correct type. Refer to yourscheduled maintenance informationto determine the
correct service interval.4Approximate dry fill capacity including transmission fluid cooling system, actual refill capacities
will vary based on vehicle application and transmission fluid cooling system (i.e. coolers size,
cooling lines, auxiliary cooler capacities). The amount of transmission fluid and fluid level should
be set by the indication on the dipstick’s normal operating range.5Use of synthetic or synthetic blend motor oil is not mandatory. Engine oil need only meet the
requirements of Ford specification WSS-M2C945-A and the API Certification mark.

OCTANE RECOMMENDATIONS
Regular unleaded gasoline with a
pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 is
recommended. Some stations offer
fuels posted asRegularwith an
octane rating below 87, particularly
in high altitude areas. Fuels with octane levels below 87 are not
recommended. Premium fuel will provide improved performance and is
recommended for severe duty usage such as trailer tow.
Do not be concerned if your engine sometimes knocks lightly. However, if
it knocks heavily under most driving conditions while you are using fuel
with the recommended octane rating, see your authorized dealer to
prevent any engine damage.
WHEELS AND TIRES
TiresLT315/70R17 BSW tires
WheelsSVT-Signature style, 17 in x 8.5 in
aluminum 6-spoke wheels
TIRE ROTATION
Because your vehicle’s tires perform
different jobs, they often wear
differently. To make sure your tires
wear evenly and last longer, have
them rotated.Note:The F-150
Raptor requires tire rotations every
5,000 miles (8,000 kilometers). If
you notice that the tires wear
unevenly, have them checked.
SPARE TIRE AND WHEEL
Your vehicle is equipped with an LT315/70R17 spare tire. The spare
tire/wheel assembly has the same capability as the road tire/wheel
assembly, but is not equipped with a tire pressure monitoring sensor.

IMPORTANT TIRE INFORMATION
Your SVT vehicle is equipped with unique wheels and tires designed to
enhance performance and appearance. To continue providing this
performance, extra care must be taken when operating and maintaining
your vehicle.
TIRES
WARNING:Always re-inflate tires to recommended tire
pressures before the vehicle is operated on-road. The
recommended pressure is located on the tire placard label or safety
certification label, located on the B-pillar, inside the driver’s door.
WARNING:Always check tires and wheels for damage before
returning to the road. Off-road use may cause damage to your
tires and wheels that could result in tire failure.
Note:If tire pressure has been reduced for off-road use, the tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning light will then activate in
the instrument panel as a reminder to reinflate the tires before returning
to the road.
Your SVT vehicle is equipped with high performance, all-terrain tires that
are designed to optimize handling, steering and braking to provide the
performance you expect in an SVT vehicle. These tires are optimized for
both on and off-road performance, and their ride, noise and wear
characteristics are different than other tires. Also, because of their
aggressive tread profile, it is important that you maintain your tires
properly.
•Always maintain your tire pressures according to the tire information
placard located on the driver’s door B-pillar, using an accurate gauge.
Remember to be prepared to re-inflate your tires before returning to
the road. If a tire filling station is not available, remember to prepare a
supplemental means to inflate the tires, such as a portable
compressor.
•Tire pressures are specified cold and should be checked after the
vehicle has been parked for at least three hours. Do not reduce
pressure of warm tires.
•Check your tire pressure often to maintain it properly. Tire pressure
can diminish over time and fluctuate with temperature.

•Do not overload your vehicle. Maximum vehicle and axle weights are
listed on the tire information placard.
•Extra caution should be taken when operating the vehicle near its
maximum load, including assuring proper tire pressure and reducing
speeds.
•In the event that you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect
your tires for damage.
•Inspect your tires for damage on a regular basis. If a tire is damaged,
replace it immediately.
•Proper suspension alignment is critical for maximum performance and
optimal tire wear. If you notice uneven tire wear, have your alignment
checked.
•When replacing tires, the only way to assure original performance is to
use the original equipment tire. If a different tire is used, it should be
the same size, speed rating and load rating.
WHEELS
WARNING:SVT only recommends using bead-lock rings from
Ford Racing, in conjunction with the OEM tire. Any other
combination using this wheel could result in air loss or tire failure.
Your SVT vehicle is equipped with unique wheels matched to the tires.
To avoid damage to your wheels:
•Maintain proper tire pressure (see theTiressection of this
supplement for more information).
•Due to extreme tire/wheel width, this vehicle cannot be taken through
an automatic car wash that uses mechanical tracks, as wheel damage
may result.
•When installing wheels, always torque lug nuts to specification with a
torque wrench.
•Inspect your wheels for damage on a regular basis. If a wheel is
damaged, replace it immediately.
•In the event that you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect
the outer diameter of your wheels, both inside and out, for damage.

Optional bead-lock compatible wheel
If your SVT vehicle is equipped with the optional bead lock compatible
wheel, you have the ability to convert this wheel to use a true bead-lock
ring, which allows operation at low tire pressures when off-road to
minimize risk of de-beading the tire. See your local Ford Racing Parts
Dealer for more information.
Note:Converting the bead-lock compatible wheel to true bead-locks is
for off-road use only. On road driving is not permitted.
Note:SVT only recommends using bead-lock rings from Ford Racing, in
conjunction with the OEM tire. Any other combination using this wheel
could result in air loss or tire failure.
OPERATING A PERFORMANCE VEHICLE AT HIGHER THAN
NORMAL SPEEDS
Your SVT vehicle is capable of operating at higher than normal off-road
speeds and is equipped with tires rated for the vehicles’ maximum speed.
However, it is important to remember to always drive safely, obey all
traffic laws and only operate your SVT vehicle at higher than normal
speeds at locations and under conditions where such can be done safely.
Also, before operating your vehicle at higher than normal speeds:
•Make sure your tires are at the correct tire pressure. (see theTires
section of this supplement for more information).
•Inspect wheels and tires for wear and damage. Replace any damaged
wheels or tires.
•Never operate the vehicle at higher than normal speeds when loaded
with passengers/cargo.
WINTER DRIVING
The original equipment tires on your SVT vehicle are designed for
maximum performance in all driving conditions. However, they are not
designed to be used with snow chains. If you will be operating your
vehicle with snow chains, use a smaller tire and wheel combination as
recommended in theOwner’s Manual

WARRANTY COVERAGE
The F-150 Raptor carries the same New Vehicle Limited Warranty as
other Ford F-150 models. This information is covered in its entirety in
your warranty information.
Warranty service for the F-150 Raptor or any SVT vehicle can be
obtained at any Ford dealer nationwide.
SVT does not recommend modifying or racing SVT vehicles, as they are
designed and built to be driven as delivered from the factory. The
warranty information discusses vehicle usage and the installation of
aftermarket parts and their effect on warranty coverage.
Ford SVT has engineered your F-150 Raptor for off-road use beyond
what is normal for a F-150. However, it can incur damage if driven
beyond its capabilities. Skid plates, shock guards and running boards
were designed to help limit damage to vital components and exterior
finishes, but cannot prevent all damage if driven in extreme off-road
conditions. Damage to skid plates, shock guards, running boards and
exterior finishes as well as bent, cracked or broken body, frame and
chassis components may not be covered by warranty.
Vehicle damage caused by driving through deep water at excessive
speeds may not be covered under warranty. (SeeDriving your F-150
SVT Raptor off-roadin theDrivingchapter of this supplement for
maximum allowable vehicle speeds when driving in deep water
conditions).
Please see the warranty information for complete information.
Perform Multi-Point Inspection and the inspections outlined in Scheduled
Maintenance information. Refer to the vehicle’sWorkshop Manualfor
removal and installation procedures. Replace with genuine Ford and
Motorcraftservice parts as needed.
These modifications may not necessarily protect your engine from
damage in competition conditions. Subjecting your vehicle to competition
conditions even with these proposed modifications may render repairs
non-reimbursable under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
