Transmission Fluid Level

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Sable, 2008 Ford Taurus X, and 2008 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The transmission fluid level is checked with the transaxle at normal operating temperature between 80°C and 93°C (175°F and 200°F).

The transmission fluid level indicator is part of the transmission fluid filler tube located on the main control cover.

The correct transmission fluid level is between the MIN and MAX in the cross hatches of the transmission fluid level indicator.
