Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill: Refill
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln Mark LT and 2007 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Use only clean transmission fluid.
- Once the transmission fluid exchange has been completed, disconnect the flush and fill machine. Reconnect any disconnected transmission fluid cooler tubes.
- With the engine running and the transmission at normal operating temperature 66-77°C (150-170°F), check and adjust the transmission fluid level and check for any leaks. If transmission fluid is needed, add transmission fluid in increments of 0.24L (0.5 pt) until the correct level is achieved (transmission fluid should be in the cross-hatched area of the transmission fluid level indicator).
- Position the magnet into the transmission fluid pan.
- Install the transmission fluid pan and transmission fluid pan gasket.
- Position the transmission fluid pan with the transmission fluid pan gasket in place.
- Install the bolts.
- Tighten to 14 Nm (10 lb-ft).
- Fill the transmission.
- Add 4.7L (5 qt) of clean transmission fluid to the transmission through the transmission fluid filler tube.
- Start the engine. Move the selector lever through all the gear ranges, checking for engagements.
- With the engine running and the transmission at normal operating temperature 66-77°C (150-170°F), check and adjust the transmission fluid level and check for any leaks. If transmission fluid is needed, add transmission fluid in increments of 0.24L (0.5 pt) until the correct level is achieved (transmission fluid should be in the cross-hatched area of the transmission fluid level indicator).
NOTE:
The transmission fluid pan gasket is reusable, clean and inspect for damage. If not damaged, the transmission fluid pan gasket should be reused.
CAUTION:
The use of any other transmission fluid can result in the transmission failing to operate in a normal manner or transmission failure.
