1.
Unscrew the oil tank cap.
2. Add engine oil by pouring oil that meets
Ford specifications into the oil tank.
See
(page 195). You may have to use a
funnel to pour the engine oil into the
opening.
3. Recheck the oil level.
4. If the oil level is correct, replace the cap
and the dipstick and make sure it is
fully tightened.
Note:
Do not add oil further than the
maximum mark. Oil levels above the
maximum mark may cause engine damage.
Note:
Make sure you install the oil tank cap
and dipstick correctly.
Note:
Soak up any spillage with an
absorbent cloth immediately.
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK
WARNINGS
Never remove the coolant reservoir
cap when the engine is running or
hot.
Do not put coolant in the windshield
washer reservoir. If sprayed on the
windshield, coolant could make it
difficult to see through the windshield.
To reduce the risk of personal injury,
make sure the engine is cool before
unscrewing the coolant pressure
relief cap. The cooling system is under
pressure. Steam and hot liquid can come
out forcefully when you loosen the cap
slightly.
Do not add coolant further than the
MAX
mark.
Check the concentration and level of the
coolant only when the engine is cold at the
intervals listed in the scheduled
maintenance information. See
Note:
Make sure that the coolant level is
between the
MIN
and
MAX
marks on the
coolant reservoir when the engine is cold.
Note:
Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may extend beyond the
MAX
mark.
The coolant reservoir is behind an access
panel on the left side of the of the engine
compartment. The cold MIN / MAX are
located on the front inboard corner of the
coolant reservoir. MAX is located just
below where the black top meets the
translucent reservoir lower. MIN is located
3/4 inch (20 mm) below the black top.
E244128
Maintain coolant concentration within
48% to 50%, which equates to a freeze
point between -30°F (-34°C) and -34°F
(-37°C). Coolant concentration should be
checked using a refractometer. We do not
recommend the use of hydrometers or
coolant test strips for measuring coolant
concentration.

WARNING
Never remove the coolant reservoir
cap when the engine is running or
hot.
