CAUTION:
MERCON®, MERCON®V, MERCON®SP, Motorcraft Premium Automatic Transmission Fluid and Motorcraft Continuously Variable Chain Type Transmission Fluid are not interchangeable transmission fluids. The use of any transmission fluid other than what is recommended for this transaxle will cause transaxle damage.
Draining
- With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to JACKING AND LIFTING .
- Remove the transmission fluid drain plug and allow the fluid to drain.
- Install the transmission fluid drain plug.
- Tighten to 47 Nm (35 lb-ft).
- Remove the transmission fluid fill plug.
- Fill the transaxle with approximately 4.7L (5 qt) of clean transmission fluid.
- Install the fluid fill plug.
- Tighten to 39 Nm (29 lb-ft).
- With the selector lever in PARK, the vehicle should be on a level surface, the engine at idle (680-780 rpm), foot pressed on the brake, move the selector lever through each gear and allow engagement of each gear. Place the selector lever back in the PARK position.
- Wipe the transmission fluid level indicator cap and remove the transmission fluid level indicator.
- Wipe the transmission fluid level indicator with a clean cloth.
- If transmission fluid needs to be added, add transmission fluid in 0.25L (1/2 pt) increments through the transmission fluid fill plug located on the top of the transaxle near the transmission fluid level indicator. Do not overfill the transmission fluid. Install the transmission fluid level indicator back in the transmission fluid filler tube until it is fully seated, then remove the transmission fluid lever indicator. The transmission fluid level should be at the upper most mark on the transmission fluid level indicator. Only fill to the upper most mark on the transmission fluid indicator. Do not overfill. Damage to the transaxle will occur.
Refill
NOTE:
In order to get an accurate transmission fluid level reading, the vehicle should be on a level surface. Idle the engine to reach the normal operating temperature. Using the scan tool, verify that the transaxle is at normal operating temperature 60°C-70°C (140°F-158°F), prior to adjusting the transmission fluid level.
