Only use oils certified for gasoline enginesby the American Petroleum Institute (API).An oil with this trademark symbolconforms to the current engine andemission system protection standards andfuel economy requirements of theInternational Lubricants SpecificationAdvisory Council (ILSAC), comprised ofU.S. and Japanese automobilemanufacturers.
1. Check the engine oil level.
2. If the engine oil level is not within thenormal range, add engine oil thatmeets Ford specifications. SeeCapacities and Specifications for moreinformation.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap anduse a funnel to pour the engine oil intothe opening.
4.Recheck the engine oil level. Make surethe oil level is not above the normaloperating range on the engine oil leveldipstick.
5. Install the engine oil level dipstick andensure it is fully seated.
6. Fully install the engine oil filler cap byturning the filler cap clockwise untilthree clicks are heard or until the capis fully seated.
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK
Checking the Engine Coolant
Note:If your vehicle is equipped with adiesel engine, refer to the DieselSupplement.
When the engine is cold, check theconcentration and level of the enginecoolant at the intervals listed in thescheduled maintenance information. SeeScheduled Maintenance (page 430).
Note:Make sure that the level is betweenthe MIN and MAX marks on the coolantreservoir.
Note:Coolant expands when it is hot. Thelevel may extend beyond the MAX mark
Note:If the level is at the MIN mark, belowthe MIN mark, or empty, add coolantimmediately. See Adding Engine Coolantin this chapter.
The coolant concentration should bemaintained within 48% to 50%, whichequates to a freeze point between -29°F(-34°C) and -35°F (-37°C).
Note:For best results, coolantconcentration should be tested with arefractometer such as Rotunda tool300-ROB75240 available from yourauthorized dealer. Ford does notrecommend the use of hydrometers orcoolant test strips for measuring coolantconcentrations.
Note:Automotive fluids are notinterchangeable. Do not use engine coolantor antifreeze or windshield washer fluidoutside of its specified function and vehiclelocation.

1Add 8 oz. (236 ml) of Additive Friction Modifier XL-3 or equivalent meeting FordSpecification EST-M2C118–A for complete refill of limited slip Ford axles. Ford designrear axles contain a synthetic lubricant that does not require changing unless you submergethe axle in water.2Ford recommends using Motorcraft (Ford) DOT 3 LV High Performance Motor VehicleBrake Fluid, Motorcraft (Ford) DOT 4 LV High Performance Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid orequivalent meeting WSS-M6C65-A1 or WSS-M6C65-A2. Use of any fluid other than therecommended fluid may cause degraded brake performance and not meet the Fordperformance standards. Keep brake fluid clean and dry. Contamination with dirt, water,petroleum products or other materials may result in brake system damage and possiblefailure.3Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.4Ford has designed your engine to use Motorcraft engine oils or equivalent oils that meetFord’s specification. It is also acceptable to use an engine oil of recommended viscositygrade that meets API SN requirements and displays the API Certification Mark for gasolineengines.5Do not use oils labeled as API SN unless the label also display the API certification mark.These oils do not meet the requirements of your vehicles engine and emissions system.6Do not use supplemental engine oil additives. They are unnecessary and could lead toengine damage not covered by your Ford warranty.7Use the correct automatic transmission fluid. Transmission fluid requirements areindicated on the dipstick blade or the dipstick handle. Check the container to verify thefluid you are adding is of the correct type. Refer to your scheduled maintenance informationto determine the correct service interval.
Note:Automatic transmissions that require MERCON LV should only use MERCON LV fluid.Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.8Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some applications may vary based on coolersize and if equipped with an in-tank cooler. You should set the amount of transmissionfluid and fluid level by the indication on the dipstick’s normal operating range.9Fill to the proper capacity according to dipstick Type A. For correct dipstick type, SeeAutomatic Transmission Fluid Check (page 231).9Fill to the proper capacity according to dipstick Type B. For correct dipstick type, SeeAutomatic Transmission Fluid Check (page 231).10See the Warning below:
WARNING
The air conditioning refrigerant system contains refrigerant R-134a under highpressure. Opening the air conditioning refrigerant system can cause personal injury.Have the air conditioning refrigerant system serviced only by qualified personnel.

Exceptions
There are several exceptions to the NormalSchedule:
Normal vehicle axle maintenance: Rearaxles and power take-off units withsynthetic fluid and light-duty trucksequipped with Ford-design axles arelubricated for life; do not check or changefluid unless a leak is suspected, service isrequired or the assembly has beensubmerged in water. During long periodsof trailer towing with outside temperaturesabove 70°F (21°C) and at wide-openthrottle for long periods above 45 mph (72km/h), change non-synthetic rear axle fluidevery 3000 miles (4800 kilometers) or
three months, whichever comes first. Thisinterval can be waived if the axle is filledwith 75W140 synthetic gear fluid meetingFord specification WSL-M2C192-A, partnumber F1TZ-19580-B, or equivalent. Addfriction modifier XL-3 (EST-M2C118-A) orequivalent for complete refill ofTraction-Lok rear axles. See Capacitiesand Specifications (page 292).
Police, Taxi and Livery vehicle axlemaintenance: Change rear axle fluid every100000 miles (160000 kilometers). Rearaxle fluid change may be waived if the axlewas filled with 75W140 synthetic gear fluidmeeting Ford specificationWSL-M2C192-A, part numberF1TZ-19580-B, or equivalent. Add fourounces (118 milliliters) of additive frictionmodifier XL-3 (EST-M2C118-A), orequivalent, for complete refill ofTraction-Lok rear axles. Change the axlefluid anytime the axle submerges in water.
