Use of a non-approved automatic transmission fluid may cause
internal transaxle component damage.

If necessary, add fluid in 250 mL (1/2 pint) increments through the filler
tube until the level is correct.

If an overfill occurs, excess fluid
should be removed by a qualified
technician.

An overfill condition of
transmission fluid may cause
shift and/or engagement
concerns and/or possible
damage.

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 Lubricant
specifications
in this chapter.
