(1)

Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.

(2)

Ensure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used. Transmission

fluid type requirements are indicated on the tag located on the
transmission fill tube. Check the container to verify the fluid being added
is of the correct type. Refer to the scheduled maintenance
information to determine the correct service interval.

MERCON

威, MERCON威 V and MERCON威 SP are not

interchangeable. DO NOT mix MERCON

威, MERCON威 V and

MERCON

威 SP. Use of dual usage fluids in an automatic

transmission application requiring MERCON

威 SP may cause

transmission damage. Use of a transmission fluid other than the
recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.

(3)

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.

(4)

Quantities listed are approximate. Fill axle until the lubricant level is

at the bottom of the filler hole, with the vehicle on level ground.

(5)

If hubs are removed, add an additional 1.6 pints (0.75L) of axle

lubricant. Add lubricant through the axle vent.

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN)

The VIN is printed on the Vehicle Rating Decal attached to the vehicle.
The VIN also serves as the warranty number. If you ever find it
necessary to communicate with Ford Motor Company about your vehicle,
always include the VIN in your communication.
