1Refer to the Power Stroke Direct Injection Turbo Diesel Owner’s Guide Supplement for Motorcraft diesel engine service part numbers. 2The PCV valve is a critical emission component. It is one of the items listed in the Scheduled Maintenance Guide and is essential to the life and performance of your vehicle and to its emissions system. For PCV valve replacement, see your dealer or a qualified service technician. Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance Guide for the appropriate intervals for changing the PCV valve. Replace the PCV valve with one that meets Ford material and design specifications for your vehicle, such as a Motorcraft or equivalent replacement part. The customer warranty may be void for any damage to the emissions system if such a PCV valve is not used. 3For spark plug replacement, see your dealer or a qualified service technician. Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance Guide for the appropriate intervals for changing the spark plugs. Replace the spark plugs with ones that meet Ford material and design specifications for your vehicle, such as Motorcraft or equivalent replacement parts.

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 Maintenance Guide to determine the correct service interval. Some transmission fluids may be labeled as dual usage, such as MERCON威 and MERCON威 V. These dual usage fluids are not to be used in an automatic transmission that requires use of the MERCON威 type fluid. However, these dual usage fluids may be used in transmissions that require the MERCON威 V type fluid. MERCON威, MERCON威 V and MERCON威 SP are not interchangeable. DO NOT mix MERCON威, MERCON威 V and MERCON威 SP. Use of dual usage fluids in an automatic transmission application requiring MERCON威 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. 8If your vehicle is equipped with a single row radiator, there will be a label on the top side of the radiator indicating “1 Row Radiator”.
