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 specification WSB-M8B16–A2.

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.

ENGINE OIL

Checking the engine oil

Refer to the scheduled maintenance guide 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.

3. Set the parking brake and ensure the gearshift is securely latched in P

(automatic transaxle) or 1st (manual transaxle).

4. Open the hood. Protect yourself from engine heat.

5. Locate and carefully remove the engine oil indicator (dipstick).
