automatic transmission fluid FORD F650 2015 13.G User Guide

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 an authorized 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, and 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.
When you install the dipstick, make sure to seat it and tighten it
securely.
You can also check the fluid level 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.

with the air conditioning on, put the transmission in positionP
(automatic transmission) or neutral (manual transmission) and allow
the engine to idle for at least one minute.Note:Not allowing the
engine to relearn the idle trim may adversely affect the idle quality of
your vehicle until the engine eventually relearns the idle trim.
7. Drive your vehicle to complete the relearning process.
If you disconnect the battery or install a new battery, you have to reset
the clock and radio settings after reconnecting the battery.
Always dispose of automotive
batteries in a responsible manner.

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
You should perform certain basic maintenance checks and inspections
monthly or at six-month intervals.
