Fluid - A/T: Service and Repair
Adding Fluid
NOTE: MERCON Automatic Transmission Fluid is being replaced by MERCON V as a service fluid.
A fluid level that is too high may cause the fluid to become aerated due to the churning action of the rotating parts of the transmission. Aerated fluid will
cause erratic control pressure, and the aerated fluid may be forced from the vent.
A fluid level that is too low will affect transmission operation. Low fluid level may indicate fluid leaks that may cause transmission damage.
CAUTION: Use of any fluid other than specified could result in transmission malfunction or failure.
Use only Motorcraft MERCON or MERCON V Automatic Transmission Fluid or equivalent in all Ford automatic transmissions. Before adding any
fluid, make sure the correct type will be used.
Add fluid in 0.24 L (0.5 pint) increments through the fluid filler tube to bring the level to the correct area on the fluid level indicator. If an overfill
occurs, remove excess fluid.
