Maintenance and Specifications

1Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.

2If your vehicle’s rear axle is filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant it is considered lubricated for life. These lubricants do not need to be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is required or the axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should be changed any time the rear axle has been submerged in water.

Fill 6 mm to 14 mm (1/4 inch to 9/16 inch) below bottom of fill hole. Add 118 ml (4 oz.) of Additive Friction Modifier XL-3 or equivalent meeting Ford specification EST-M2C118–A, for complete refill of 8.8 inch and 9.75 inch Traction-Lok axles.

3Fill Dana rear axles to 6 mm to 19 mm (1/4 inch to 3/4 inch) below bottom of fill hole. Fill Visteon axles 6 mm to 14 mm (1/4 inch to 9/16 inch) below bottom of fill hole.

4Visteon Traction-Lok axles require 118 ml (4 oz.) of Additive Friction Modifier XL—3 or equivalent meeting Ford specification EST-M2C118–A. Dana limited-slip axles (E250/350/450/550) require 237ml (8 oz.) of Additive Friction Modifier C8AZ—19B546–A or equivalent meeting Ford specification EST-M2C118-A.

5Optional fuel tank 208L (55 gallon).

6Ensure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used. Transmission fluid requirements are indicated on the dipstick or on the dipstick handle. Check the container to verify the fluid being added is of the correct type. Refer to your Scheduled Maintenace Guide to determine the correct service interval.

Some transmission fluids may be labeled as dual usage, such as MERCON® and MERCON® V. These dual usage fluids are not to be used in an automatic transmission that requires use of the MERCON® type fluid. However, these dual usage fluids may be used in transmissions that require the MERCON® V type fluid.

MERCON®, MERCON® V and MERCON® SP are not interchangeable. DO NOT mix MERCON®, MERCON® V and MERCON® SP. Use of dual usage fluids in an automatic transmission application requiring MERCON® SP may cause transmission damage. Use of a transmission fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.

7Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some applications may vary based on cooler size, if equipped with an in-tank cooler, if equipped an oil to air cooler and if equipped with a remote filter assembly. The amount of transmission fluid and fluid level should be set by the indication on the dipstick’s normal operating range.
