Your vehicle’s rear axle(s) may be filled with a synthetic lubricant that may

require a lubricant change. Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance Guide. Axle
lubricant quantities should not need to be checked 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.

Add 236 ml (8 oz.) of additive Friction Modifier C8AZ-19B546-A, Ford

Specification EST-M2C118-A for complete refill of Traction-Lok axles.

Ensure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used. Transmission fluid

requirements are indicated on the dipstick or on the dipstick handle.

MERCON

determine the correct service interval.

Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some applications may vary

based on cooler size and if equipped with an in-tank cooler. The amount of
transmission fluid and fluid level should be set by the indication on the
dipstick’s normal operating range.

Use Ford Premium Engine Coolant (green in color). DO NOT USE Ford

Extended Life Engine Coolant (orange in color). Refer to Adding engine
coolant, in the Maintenance and Care chapter.
