Adding Transmission Fluid
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Automatic transmission fluids are not interchangeable. The use of any fluid other than what is recommended for this transaxle will cause transaxle damage.
If transmission fluid needs to be added, add transmission fluid in 0.25L (1/2 pt) increments through the transaxle filler tube with the selector lever in PARK and the engine idling. Do not overfill the transmission fluid. For transmission fluid type, refer to the MATERIAL chart.
