1Approximate dry fill capacity including transmission fluid cooling system, actual refill capacities
will vary based on vehicle application and transmission fluid cooling system (i.e. coolers size,
cooling lines, auxiliary cooler capacities). The amount of transmission fluid and fluid level should
be set by the indication on the dipstick’s normal operating range.
The manual transmission service refill capacity is determined by filling the transaxle to the bottom
of the filler hole with the vehicle on a level surface.2Ensure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used. Transmission fluid requirements are
indicated on the dipstick or on the dipstick handle or as listed in this Owner’s Guide. Check the
container to verify the fluid being added is of the correct type. Refer to yourscheduled
maintenance informationto determine the correct service interval.
Some transmission fluids may be labeled as dual usage, such as MERCONand MERCONV.
These dual usage fluids are not to be used in an automatic transmission that requires use of the
MERCONtype fluid. However, these dual usage fluids may be used in transmissions that require
the MERCONV type fluid.
MERCONand MERCONV type fluids are not interchangeable. DO NOT mix MERCON
and MERCONV. Use of a transmission fluid that indicates dual usage (MERCONand
MERCONV) in an automatic transmission application requiring MERCONmay cause
transmission damage. Use of any fluid other than the recommended fluid may cause
transmission damage.3Use of synthetic or synthetic blend motor oil is not mandatory. Engine oil need only meet the
requirements of Ford specification WSS-M2C930-A and the API Certification mark.4Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.
