GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Fluid | |
| MERCON®, MERCON®V, MERCON®SP, Motorcraft Premium Automatic Transmission Fluid, Motorcraft Continuously Variable Chain Type Transmission Fluid and FNR5 automatic transmission fluid are not interchangeable transmission fluids. The use of any fluid other than what is recommended for the transaxle will cause transaxle damage. Refer to the fluid specification for the correct fluid. The transmission fluid should be changed every 96,560 km (60,000 miles) regardless of normal or special operating conditions. | |
|
CAUTION:
Transmission fluid used for the FNR5 and the 6-speed transaxles are unique. Do not use water-based cleaners to clean or flush the cooler tubes or transmission damage will occur. Mineral spirits can be used to clean the cooler tubes, providing the cooler tubes are flushed with clean automatic transmission fluid and blown dry with shop air. Use only clean automatic transmission fluid designated for the transmission and torque converter being serviced.
