Use SAE 5W-30 engine oil.

Only use oils “Certified For Gasoline Engines” by the American

Petroleum Institute (API). To protect your engine’s warranty use

Motorcraft SAE 5W-30 or an equivalent 5W-30 oil meeting Ford

specification WSS-M2C205–A.

Do not use supplemental engine oil additives, cleaners or other engine

treatments. They are unnecessary and could lead to engine damage that

is not covered by Ford warranty.

Change your engine oil according to the appropriate schedule listed in

the scheduled maintenance guide.

Ford production and aftermarket (Motorcraft) oil filters are designed for

added engine protection and long life. If a replacement oil filter is used

that does not meet Ford material and design specifications, start-up

engine noises or knock may be experienced.

It is recommended you use the appropriate Motorcraft oil filter (or

another brand meeting Ford specifications) for your engine application.

BATTERY

Your vehicle is equipped with a

Motorcraft maintenance-free battery

which normally does not require

additional water during its life of

service.

However, for severe usage or in high temperature climates, check the

battery electrolyte level. Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance Guide for

the service interval schedules.

Keep the electrolyte level in each cell up to the “level indicator”.

Do not overfill the battery cells.
