Adding Engine Oil

Note: Do not remove the filler cap when the engine is running.

Note: Do not add engine oil further than the MAX mark. Oil levels above

the MAX mark may cause engine damage.

Only use oils certified for gasoline engines by the

American Petroleum Institute (API). An oil with this

trademark symbol conforms to the current engine and

emission system protection standards and fuel

economy requirements of the International Lubricants

Specification Advisory Council (ILSAC), comprised of

U.S. and Japanese automobile manufacturers.

1. Remove the filler cap.

2. Add engine oil that meets Ford specifications. See Capacities and

Specifications for more information.

3. Replace the filler cap. Turn it until you feel a strong resistance.

ENGINE COOLANT CHECK

Checking the Engine Coolant

The concentration and level of engine coolant should be checked at the

intervals listed in Scheduled Maintenance Information.

Note: Make sure that the level is at the FULL COLD level or within the

COLD FILL RANGE in the coolant reservoir.

Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The level may extend beyond the

COLD FILL RANGE.

If the level is below the COLD FILL RANGE, add coolant immediately.

See Adding Engine Coolant in this chapter.

The coolant concentration should be maintained within 48% to 50%,

which equates to a freeze point between -30°F (-34°C) and -34°F

(-37°C).

Note: For best results, coolant concentration should be tested with a

refractometer such as Rotunda tool 300ROB75240 available from your

dealer. Ford does not recommend the use of hydrometers or coolant test

strips for measuring coolant concentrations.

Note: Automotive fluids are not interchangeable; do not use engine

coolant/antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outside of its specified

function and vehicle location.
