If equipped with auxiliary rear heater, add an additional 1.4 L (1.5

Ensure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used. Transmission

fluid requirements are indicated on the end of the dipstick. 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

, MERCONV and MERCONSP are not

interchangeable. DO NOT mix MERCON

, MERCONV and

MERCON

SP. Use of dual usage fluids in an automatic

transmission application requiring MERCON

SP may cause

transmission damage. Use of a transmission fluid other than the
recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.

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.

7

Use of synthetic or synthetic blend motor oil is not mandatory. Engine

oil need only meet the requirements of Ford specification
WSS-M2C930-A and the API Certification mark.
