added engine protection and long life. If a replacement oil filter is used
that does not meet Ford material and design specifications, start-up

௡ oil filter or

another with equivalent performance for your engine application.

BATTERY

Your vehicle is equipped with a
Motorcraft

௡ maintenance-free

battery which normally does not
require additional water during its
life of service.

WARNING: This vehicle may be equipped with more than one
battery, removal of cable from only one battery does not

disconnect the vehicle electrical system. Be sure to disconnect cables
from all batteries when disconnecting power. Failure to do so may
cause serious personal injury or property damage.

If your battery has a cover/shield, make sure it is reinstalled
after the battery has been cleaned or replaced.

For longer, trouble-free operation, keep the top of the battery clean and
dry. Also, make certain the battery cables are always tightly fastened to
the battery terminals.

If you see any corrosion on the battery or terminals, remove the cables
from the terminals and clean with a wire brush. You can neutralize the
acid with a solution of baking soda and water.

When the battery is disconnected or a new battery installed, the
transmission must learn its adaptive strategy. As a result of this, the
transmission may shift firmly. This operation is considered normal and
will fully update transmission operation to its optimum shift feel.
