Maintenance and care Ford production and aftermarket (Motorcraft) oil filters are designed for added engine protection and long life. If a replacement oil filter is used that does not meet Ford material and design specifications, startup engine noises or knock may be experienced. It is recommended you use the appropriate Motorcraft oil filter (or another brand meeting Ford specifications) for your engine application. BRAKE FLUID Checking and adding brake fluid Brake fluid should be checked and refilled as needed at least once each year: • Clean the reservoir cap before removal to prevent dirt or water from entering the reservoir. • Visually inspect the fluid level. • If necessary, add brake fluid until the level reaches MAX. Do not fill above this line. • Use only a DOT 3 brake fluid certified to meet Ford specifications. Refer to Lubricant specifications in the Capacities and specifications chapter. MAX MIN 129
