Ensure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used. Transmission
fluid requirements are indicated on the dipstick or on the dipstick
handle. MERCON
and MERCON V are not interchangeable. DO NOT
mix MERCON
and MERCONV. Refer to the scheduled maintenance
guide to determine the correct service interval.
2
Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some applications may 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.
3
Service refill capacity for the manual transmission is determined by
filling the transmission to the bottom of the filler hole with the vehicle
on a level surface.
4
Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.
5
Traction-Lok axles use 2.2–2.4L (4.75–5.0 pints) of rear axle lubricant.
6
Add 118 ml (4 oz.) of Additive Friction Modifier XL–3 or equivalent
meeting Ford specification EST-M2C118–A for complete refill of
Traction-Lok axles.
Service refill capacities are determined by filling the rear axle 6 mm to
14 mm (1/4 inch to 9/16 inch) below the bottom of the filler hole.
