Fluid - A/T: Service and Repair
Top-Off
-
If you need to add fluid, use Motorcraft MERCON Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid XT-2-QDX or equivalent fluid meeting MERCON
specification. Before adding any fluid, be sure that the correct type will be used. MERCON(R) automatic Transmission Fluid is being replaced by
MERCON(R) V as a service fluid, as per TSB 06-14-4.
-
Add fluid in 0.25 liter (0.5 pint) increments through the filler tube to bring the level to the correct area on the dipstick. If an overfill occurs,
excess fluid must be removed.
CAUTION: Use of any fluid other than specified could result in transmission malfunction or failure.
NOTE: 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 level may indicate fluid leaks that may cause transmission damage.
