WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID

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 ESR-M17P5–A.
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.

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.
