Adjusting automatic transmission fluid levels

Before adding any fluid, make sure the correct type is used. The type of
fluid used is normally indicated on the dipstick and also in the
Maintenance product specifications and capacities section in this
chapter.

Note: Only one ATF fluid specification has been tested and approved for
use with the automatic 6-speed: Premium Automatic Transmission fluid.
Mercon fluids cannot be used with the automatic 6-speed without
damage or voiding warranty.

Use of a non-approved automatic transmission fluid may cause
internal transaxle component damage.

If necessary, add fluid in 1/2 pint (250 mL) increments through the filler
tube until the level is correct.

If an overfill occurs, excess fluid should be removed by an authorized
dealer.

An overfill condition of transmission fluid may cause shift and/or
engagement concerns and/or possible damage.

Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or
cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission
operation and result in damage to internal transaxle components.

AIR FILTER

Refer to scheduled maintenance information for the appropriate
intervals for changing the air filter element.

When changing the air filter element, use only the Motorcraft air filter
element listed. Refer to Motorcraft part numbers in this chapter.

To reduce the risk of vehicle damage and/or personal burn
injuries do not start your engine with the air cleaner removed

and do not remove it while the engine is running.
