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 Lubricant Specifications.
Ensure correct automatic transmission fluid is used
for a specific application. Check the container to
verify the fluid is MERCON and/or MERCON V
approved. Some fluids have been approved as
meeting both MERCON and MERCON V
requirements and will be labeled as such. Fluids
labeled as meeting only MERCON or only
MERCON V requirements must not be used
interchangeably. DO NOT mix MERCON and
MERCON 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.
