1 Refer to the dipstick for the type of transmission fluid required. Some fluid labels may indicate dual usage such as MERCONt and MERCON Vt. These dual usage fluids are not to be used in transmissions that use only the MERCONt type fluid. These dual usage fluids may be used in transmissions that require MERCONt V use. Using a transmission fluid that indicates a dual usage (MERCONt and MERCON Vt) in a transmission application requiring MERCONt may cause transmission damage. Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause transmission damage. 2 Add 118 ml (4 oz.) of EST-M2C118–A (friction modifier Part No. C8AZ-19B546–A) for complete refill of Ford Traction-Lok rear axles. 3 Add 237 ml (6 oz.) of EST-M2C118–A (friction modifier Part No. C8AZ-19B546–A) for complete refill of Dana Traction-Lok rear axles.

Reporting safety defects

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS (U.S. ONLY) If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that could cause a crash, or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Ford Motor Company.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer or Ford Motor Company. To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1–800–424–9393 (202–366–0123 in the Washington D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA U.S. Department of Transportation 400 Seventh Street Washington D.C. 20590
You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

1 If your engine coolant is green in color, use Ford Premium Cooling System Fluid. If your engine coolant is orange in color, use Ford Extended Life Engine Coolant. Refer to Adding engine coolant, in the Maintenance and Care chapter. 2 Ensure correct automatic transmission fluid is used for a specific application. Check the container to verify the fluid is MERCONt and/or MERCONt V approved. Some fluids have been approved as meeting both MERCONt and MERCONt V requirements and will be labeled as such. Fluids labeled as meeting only MERCONt or only MERCONt V requirements must not be used interchangeably. DO NOT mix MERCONt and MERCONt V. Transmission fluid requirements are indicated on the dipstick or on the dipstick handle. Refer to your “Service Guide” to determine the correct service interval.
