Capacities and specifications Fluid Ford Part Application Name Windshield Ultra-Clear All washer fluid Windshield Washer Concentrate 1 2 Capacity 4.0L (4.25 quarts) Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle. Service refill capacity is determined by filling the transfer case to the bottom of the filler hole with the vehicle on a level surface. 3 Ensure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used. Transmission fluid requirements are indicated on the dipstick or on the dipstick handle. Check the container to verify the fluid being added is of the correct type. Refer to your scheduled maintenance guide to determine the correct service interval. Some transmission fluids may be labeled as dual usage, such as MERCON௡ and MERCON௡ V. These dual usage fluids are not to be used in an automatic transmission that requires use of the MERCON௡ type fluid. However, these dual usage fluids may be used in transmissions that require the MERCON௡ V type fluid. MERCON௡ and MERCON௡ V type fluids are not interchangeable. DO NOT mix MERCON௡ and MERCON௡ V. Use of a transmission fluid that indicates dual usage (MERCON௡ and MERCON௡ V) in an automatic transmission application requiring MERCON௡ may cause transmission damage. Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause transmission damage. 4 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. 5 Your vehicle's rear axle is filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant and is considered lubricated for life. These lubricants do not need to be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is required or the axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should be changed any time the rear axle has been submerged in water. 6 Service refill capacity is determined by filling the axle to 6-14 mm (1/4-9/16 inch) below the bottom of the filler hole with the vehicle on a level surface. 264
