1

See the SAE viscosities grades chart for

correct temperature usage.

2

For severe duty service, use SAE 5W-40

API CJ-4.

3

For biodiesel fuel blends (B20 max), use

SAE 5W-40 or SAE 15W-40 API CJ-4.

If you use oil and fluids that do not meet
the defined specification and viscosity
grade, this may lead to:
•

Component damage which is not
covered by the vehicle warranty.

•

Longer engine cranking periods.

•

Increased emission levels.

•

Reduced engine performance.

•

Reduced fuel economy.

•

Degraded brake performance.

Note: An engine block heater is
recommended at temperatures below
–10°F (–23°C).

Engine Oil Specifications

The use of correct oil viscosities for diesel
engines is important for satisfactory
operation. Determine which oil viscosity
best suits the temperature range you
expect to encounter for the next service
interval from the following SAE viscosity
grade chart.

E163370

E163371

The American Petroleum Institute (API)
service symbol is used to identify the
proper engine oil for your engine. The API
service symbol will be displayed on the oil
container you purchase. The API symbol
displays the oil performance category in
the top half of the symbol and the viscosity
grade in the center of the symbol.

Note: Ford recommends using DOT 4 Low
Viscosity (LV) High Performance Brake Fluid
or equivalent meeting WSS-M6C65-A2. Use
of any fluid other than the recommended
fluid may cause degraded brake
performance and not meet the Ford
performance standards. Keep brake fluid
clean and dry. Contamination with dirt,
water, petroleum products or other
materials may result in brake system
damage and possible failure.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Radio Frequencies and Reception
Factors

AM and FM frequencies are established by
the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) and the Canadian Radio and
Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).
Those frequencies are:
•

AM: 530, 540-1700, 1710 kHz

•

FM: 87.9-107.7, 107.9 MHz

Radio Reception Factors

The further you travel from an AM or FM station, the
weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.

Distance and strength

Hills, mountains, tall buildings, bridges, tunnels, freeway
overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and
thunderstorms can interfere with the reception.

Terrain

When you pass a ground-based broadcast repeating
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and
result in the audio system muting.

Station overload

CD and CD Player Information

Note: CD units play commercially pressed
4.7 in (12 cm) audio compact discs only. Due
to technical incompatibility, certain
recordable and re-recordable compact discs
may not function correctly when used in
Ford CD players.

Note: Do not insert CDs with homemade
paper (adhesive) labels into the CD player
as the label may peel and cause the CD to
become jammed. You should use a
permanent felt tip marker rather than
adhesive labels on your homemade CDs.
Ballpoint pens may damage CDs. Please
contact an authorized dealer for further
information.

Note: Do not use any irregularly shaped
discs or discs with a scratch protection film
attached.

Always handle discs by their edges only.
Clean the disc with an approved CD
cleaner only. Wipe it from the center of the
disc toward the edge. Do not clean in a
circular motion.

Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or
heat sources for extended periods.

MP3 and WMA Track and Folder
Structure

Audio systems capable of recognizing and
playing MP3 and WMA individual tracks
and folder structures work as follows:
•

There are two different modes for MP3
and WMA disc playback: MP3 and
WMA track mode (system default) and
MP3 and WMA folder mode.

•

MP3 and WMA track mode ignores any
folder structure on the MP3 and WMA
disc. The player numbers each MP3
and WMA track on the disc (noted by
the MP3 or WMA file extension) from
T001 to a maximum of T255. The
maximum number of playable MP3 and
WMA files may be less depending on
the structure of the CD and exact
model of radio present.
