Maintenance

High Fluid Level If the fluid level is above the maximum range (above point B) fluid may need to be removed. High fluid levels may be caused by a overheating condition. If you have operated your vehicle at high speeds, towing a trailer or in city traffic during hot weather, allow your vehicle to cool for a minimum of 30 minutes before rechecking the level. Note: An overfill condition can damage the transmission. Adding Transmission Fluid * 1. Rotate the automatic transmission fluid cap in a counterclockwise direction. 2. Remove the cap and dipstick and wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth. 3. Add fluid that meets the Ford specifications. See Capacities and Specifications (page 356). Pour the fluid directly into the automatic transmission fluid cap and dipstick hole. 4. Replace the cap and dipstick and remove it again to check the fluid level.

4. Make sure that the fluid level is between the MIN and the MAX marks. If the fluid level is at the MIN mark, add fluid immediately. See Adding Transmission Fluid . 5. Replace the automatic transmission fluid cap and dipstick. Turn it clockwise until you feel a strong resistance. Low Fluid Level If the fluid level is within the minimum range (below point A) add the correct specification fluid to be within the hash mark area. See Capacities and Specifications (page 356). Note: If the fluid level is below the minimum range do not drive your vehicle. A low fluid level can damage the transmission. Correct Fluid Level If the fluid level is within the hash mark area (between points A and B) do not add any fluid.

5. Make sure that the fluid level is between the MIN and the MAX marks. 6. Replace the automatic transmission fluid cap and dipstick. Turn it clockwise until you feel a strong resistance.
