WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID

Add fluid to fill the
reservoir if the level is
low. In very cold
weather, do not fill the
reservoir completely.

Only use a washer
fluid that meets Ford
specification
WSB-M8B16–A2. Refer
to Lubricant
specifications
in this
chapter.

State or local regulations on volatile organic
compounds may restrict the use of methanol, a
common windshield washer antifreeze additive.
Washer fluids containing non-methanol antifreeze
agents should be used only if they provide cold
weather protection without damaging the vehicle’s
paint finish, wiper blades or washer system.

If you operate your vehicle in temperatures
below 4.5° C (40° F), use washer fluid with

antifreeze protection. Failure to use washer fluid
with antifreeze protection in cold weather could
result in impaired windshield vision and increase
the risk of injury or accident.

Note: Do not put washer fluid in the engine coolant
reservoir. Washer fluid placed in the cooling system
may harm engine and cooling system components.

Checking the engine oil

Refer to the scheduled maintenance guide for the
appropriate intervals for checking the engine oil.

1. Make sure the vehicle is on level ground.

2. Turn the engine off and wait 5 to 10 minutes for
the oil to drain into the oil pan.
