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.
WARNING: Do not allow the fluid to touch your skin or eyes.
If this happens, rinse the affected areas immediately with plenty
of water and contact your doctor.
WARNING: Make sure that the level is within the COLD FILL
RANGE.
Make sure that the level is at the FULL COLD level or within the COLD
FILL RANGE in the coolant reservoir.
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.
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).
