2. Remove the filler plug and inspect the
fluid level.
3. For vehicles with a the I4 or V6 engine,
the correct manual transmission fill
level is at the lower edge of the filler
hole. For vehicles equipped with a V8
engine, the correct manual
transmission fill level is 1/2 inch (1.3
cm) below the edge of the filler hole.
4. Add enough fluid through the filler
opening to bring the fluid up to the
recommended levels.
5. Install and tighten the fill plug securely.
Only use fluid that meets Ford
specifications. See Capacities and
Specifications (page 267).
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID CHECK
If required, have an authorized dealer check
and change the transmission fluid at the
correct service interval. See Scheduled
Maintenance (page 414).
The automatic transmission does not have
a transmission fluid dipstick.
Refer to your scheduled maintenance
information for scheduled intervals for fluid
checks and changes. Your transmission
does not consume fluid. However, if the
transmission slips, shifts slowly or if you
notice a sign of leaking fluid, contact an
authorized dealer.
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 transmission
components.
BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUID
CHECK
Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX
lines are within the normal operating range;
there is no need to add fluid. If the fluid
levels are outside of the normal operating
range, the performance of the system
could be compromised; seek service from
your authorized dealer immediately.
POWER STEERING FLUID
CHECK
Your vehicle is equipped with an electric
power steering (EPS) system. There is no
fluid reservoir to check or fill.
