automatic transmission fluid FORD F650 2013 12.G User Guide

POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK
Note:To avoid damage to the power steering system, do not operate the
vehicle with a low power steering fluid level.
Note:If adding fluid is necessary, use only the appropriate fluid. See the
Capacities and Specificationschapter. A low fluid level may indicate a
leak in the power steering system. Inspect the power steering system
and repair the leak or see your dealer or a qualified technician for
service. See theScheduled Maintenancechapter for the recommended
service intervals.
Check the fluid level when it is at ambient temperature, 20°F–80°F
(-7°C–25°C):
1. Set the parking brake, then start the engine.
2. Shift into positionNorP(if equipped) (automatic transmission) or
first gear (manual transmission) and turn the engine off.
3. Open the hood.
4. Clean the top of the power steering fluid reservoir.
5. Remove the dipstick from the reservoir and wipe the dipstick clean.
6. Reinstall the dipstick. Remove it again and check the fluid level.
Check the MAX. COLD side of the
dipstick if the fluid is cool or warm to
the touch (approximately 68°F-120°F
[20°C-49°C]). The fluid level should
be within the FULL range. If
necessary, add fluid in small amounts,
continuously checking the level, until
it reaches the proper level.
Check the MAX. HOT side of the
dipstick if the fluid is too hot to
touch (approximately 176°F–230°F
[80°C-110°C]). The fluid level
should be within the FULL range.
If necessary, add fluid in small
amounts, continuously checking the
level, until it reaches the proper
level.
Whenever the dipstick is installed, make sure it is properly seated and
tightened securely.
The fluid level can also be checked by looking at the see-through plastic
reservoir. Make sure that the fluid is within the minimum and maximum
fluid range as marked on the reservoir.

6. Release the parking brake. With your foot on the brake pedal and
with the A/C on, put the vehicle in positionP(automatic
transmission) or neutral (manual transmission) and allow the engine
to idle for at least one minute.Note:If you do not allow the engine
to relearn its idle trim, the idle quality of your vehicle may be
adversely affected until the idle trim is eventually relearned.
7. Drive the vehicle to complete the relearning process.
If the battery has been disconnected or a new battery has been installed,
the clock and radio settings must be reset once the battery is
reconnected.
Always dispose of automotive
batteries in a responsible manner.
Follow your local authorized
standards for disposal. Call your
local authorized recycling center to
find out more about recycling
automotive batteries.
CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES
Run the tip of your fingers over the edge of the blade
to check for roughness.
Clean the wiper blades with washer fluid or water
applied with a soft sponge or cloth.

Additives and Chemicals
This owner’s manual and the Ford Workshop Manual list the
recommended additives and chemicals for your vehicle. We do not
recommend using chemicals or additives not approved by us as part of
your vehicle’s normal maintenance. Please consult your warranty
information.
Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a normal operating characteristic
and, by itself, does not necessarily indicate a concern or that the fluid
needs to be changed. However, a qualified expert, such as the
factory-trained technicians at your dealership, should inspect discolored
fluids that also show signs of overheating or foreign material
contamination immediately.
Make sure to change your vehicle’s oils and fluids at the specified
intervals or in conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a viable way to
change fluid for many vehicle sub-systems during scheduled
maintenance. It is critical that systems are flushed only with new fluid
that is the same as that required to fill and operate the system or using a
Ford-approved flushing chemical.
Owner Checks and Services
Certain basic maintenance checks and inspections should be performed
monthly or at six month intervals.
