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
௡ and MERCON௡ V type fluids are not interchangeable.
DO NOT mix MERCON
௡ and MERCON௡ V. Use of a transmission
fluid that indicates dual usage (MERCON
௡ and MERCON௡ V) in
an automatic transmission application requiring MERCON
௡ may
cause transmission damage. Use of any fluid other than the
recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.

vary 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.
5 Your vehicle’s rear axle is filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant and
is considered lubricated for life. These lubricants do not need to be
checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is required or the
axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should
be changed any time the rear axle has been submerged in water.
6 Service refill capacity is determined by filling the axle to 6-14 mm
(1/4-9/16 inch) below the bottom of the filler hole with the vehicle on a
level surface.
Add 118 ml (4 oz.) of Additive Friction Modifier C8AZ-19B546-A or
equivalent meeting Ford specification EST-M2C118–A, for complete fill of
8.8 inch and 9.75 inch Traction-Lok axles.
