Fluid Capacities

Transmission Fluid 9.6L (10 quarts)(approximate dry fill capacities)

CAUTION: MERCON, MERCON V, and MERCON SP are not interchangeable with the Motorcraft Continuously Variable Chain Type Transmission Fluid. The use of any other fluid or cleaning agents will cause internal transaxle damage.

CAUTION: The transmission fluid used for Continuously Variable Transaxle (CVT) and 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.


CAUTION: The use of cleaning solvents and petroleum lubricants should not be used on this transaxle. They may contaminate the CVT fluid and cause internal transaxle damage. Only clean CVT fluid should be used to clean and assembly this transaxle.
