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 specifications. 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.

If you operate your vehicle in temperatures below 40° F (4.5°C),

use washer fluid with antifreeze protection. Failure to use

washer fluid with antifreeze protection in cold weather could result in

impaired windshield vision and increase the risk of injury or accident.

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 and adding washer fluid for the liftgate

Washer fluid for the liftgate is supplied by the same reservoir as the

windshield.

ENGINE OIL

Checking the engine oil

Refer to scheduled maintenance information for the appropriate

intervals for checking the engine oil.

1. Make sure the vehicle is on level ground.

2. Turn the engine off and wait a few minutes for the oil to drain into the

oil pan.
