Maintenance Fluid Transmission fluid Windshield washer fluid 1 2 3 Ford Part Name Capacity Motorcraft MERCON௡ 16.1L (17.0 quarts) ATF Ultra-Clear Windshield 4.0L (4.25 quarts) Washer Concentrate 4 Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle. Fill 6 mm to 14 mm (1/4 inch to 9/16 inch) below bottom of fill hole. Add 118 ml (4 oz.) of Additive Friction Modifier C8AZ-19B546-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification EST-M2C118-A for complete refill of Traction-Lok axles. 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. 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 Approximate dry fill capacity including transmission fluid cooling system, actual refill capacities will vary based on vehicle application and transmission fluid cooling system (i.e. coolers size, cooling lines. auxiliary cooler capacities). The amount of transmission fluid and fluid level should be set by the indication on the dipstick's normal operating range. 13
