TRANSMISSION FLUID

Checking 6-speed automatic transmission fluid

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, the fluid level should be checked if the
transmission is not working properly, (i.e., if the transmission slips or
shifts slowly) or if you notice some sign of fluid leakage.

Transmission fluid should be checked by an authorized dealer. If
required, fluid should be added by 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.

Checking and adding manual transmission fluid (if equipped)

1. Clean the filler plug.

2. Remove the filler plug and
inspect the fluid level.

3. Fluid level should be at the
bottom of the opening.

4. Add enough fluid through the
filler opening so that the fluid level
is at the bottom of the opening.

5. Install and tighten the fill plug
securely.

Use only fluid that meets Ford specifications. Refer to the Maintenance
product specifications and capacities
section in this chapter.

AIR FILTER

Refer to scheduled maintenance information for the appropriate
intervals for changing the air filter element.

When changing the air filter element, use only the air filter element
listed. Refer to Motorcraft

part numbers in this chapter.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of vehicle damage and/or
personal burn injuries do not start your engine with the air

cleaner removed and do not remove it while the engine is running.
