•
the engine coolant temperature gauge
moves fully into the red (hot) area
• the coolant temperature warning light
illuminates
• the service engine soon indicator
illuminates. WARNING
Never remove the coolant reservoir
cap while the engine is running or hot.
1. Pull off the road as soon as safely
possible and place the vehicle in P
(Park).
2. Leave the engine running until the coolant temperature gauge needle
moves away from the H range. After
several minutes, if this does not
happen, follow the remaining steps.
3. Turn the engine off and wait for it to cool before checking the coolant level.
4. If the coolant level is normal, you may restart your engine and continue on.
5. If the coolant is low, add coolant, restart the engine and take your vehicle
to an authorized dealer. See Adding
engine coolant in this chapter for more
information. Refer to fail-safe cooling
for additional information.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID CHECK
Have an authorized dealer check and
change the transmission fluid and filter at
the correct service interval. See
Scheduled Maintenance (page 428).
Do not use supplemental transmission
fluid additives, treatments or cleaning
agents. The use of these materials may
affect transmission operation and result
in damage to internal transmission
components. Checking Automatic Transmission
Fluid (If Equipped)
For scheduled intervals of the fluid checks
and changes, See
Scheduled
Maintenance (page 428). Your
transmission does not consume fluid.
However, the fluid level should be checked
if the transmission is not working properly,
i.e., if the transmission slips or shifts slowly
or if you notice some sign of fluid leakage.
Automatic transmission fluid expands
when warmed. To obtain an accurate fluid
check, drive the vehicle until it is at normal
operating temperature (approximately
19 mi (30 km)
). Verify that the
transmission fluid temperature gauge,
located on the instrument cluster, is within
normal range.
1. Drive the vehicle
19 mi (30 km)until it
reaches normal operating temperature.
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and
engage the parking brake.
3. With the engine running, parking brake
engaged and your foot on the brake
pedal, move the gearshift lever through
all of the gear ranges. Allow sufficient
time for each gear to engage.
4. Latch the gearshift lever in P and leave
the engine running.
5. Remove the dipstick, wiping it clean with a clean, dry lint free rag. If
necessary, refer to the Under Hood
Overview in this chapter for the
location of the dipstick.
6. Install the dipstick making sure it is fully
seated in the filler tube.
7. Remove the dipstick and inspect the fluid level. The fluid should be in the
designated area for normal operating
temperature or ambient temperature.
Low Fluid Level
Type A
230
Super Duty (TFA) Maintenance

Fluid levels above the safe range may
result in transmission failure. An overfill
condition of transmission fluid may cause
shift and engagement concerns, and
possible damage.
High fluid levels can be caused by an
overheating condition.
Adjusting Automatic Transmission
Fluid Levels
Note:
Use of a non-approved automatic
transmission fluid may cause internal
transmission component damage.
Before adding any fluid, make sure the
correct type is used. The type of fluid used
is normally indicated on:
• the dipstick handle.
• See Capacities and Specifications
(page 292).
If necessary, add fluid in
8fl oz (250 ml)
increments through the filler tube until the
level is correct.
Type A Type B
If an overfill occurs, excess fluid should be
removed by a qualified technician.
Note:
An overfill condition of transmission
fluid may cause shift and engagement
concerns, and possible damage.
Do not use supplemental transmission
fluid additives, treatments or cleaning
agents. The use of these materials may
affect transmission operation and result
in damage to internal transmission
components.

1 Add 8 oz. (236 ml) of Additive Friction Modifier XL-3 or equivalent meeting Ford
Specification EST-M2C118– A for complete refill of limited slip Ford axles. Ford design
rear axles contain a synthetic lubricant that does not require changing unless the axle
has been submerged in water.
2 Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.
3 Your engine has been designed to use Motorcraft engine oils or equivalent oils that meet
Ford specifications. It is also acceptable to use an engine oil of recommended viscosity
grade that meets API SN requirements and displays the API Certification Mark for gasoline
engines
Note: Do not use API category oils labeled as SN, SM, SL or lower category unless the label
also displays the API certification mark. These oils do not meet the requirements for your
engine and emission system.
4 Do not use supplemental engine oil additives in your engine. They are unnecessary and
could lead to engine damage that is not covered by your Ford warranty.
5 Make sure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used. Transmission fluid
requirements are indicated on the dipstick blade or the dipstick handle. Check the container
to verify the fluid you are adding is of the correct type. Refer to your scheduled maintenance
information to 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.
6 Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some applications may vary based on cooler
size and if equipped with an in-tank cooler. The amount of transmission fluid and fluid
level should be set by the indication on the dipstick’ s normal operating range.
7 See Transmission (page 140). See Checking automatic transmission fluid in this chapter
for the correct dipstick type. Fill to the proper capacity according to dipstick Type A.
8 See Transmission (page 140). See Checking automatic transmission fluid in this chapter
for the correct dipstick type. Fill to the proper capacity according to dipstick Type B.
9 WARNING
The A/C refrigerant system contains refrigerant R-134a under high pressure. Opening
the A/C refrigerant system can cause personal injury. A/C refrigerant system is to
be serviced only by qualified personnel.
