To find out how much your specific truck holds, you need to:
1. Identify your transmission: Look for a tag on the transmission itself, or consult your owner's manual (if you have it). The tag or manual will usually specify the transmission type (e.g., C6, FMX, etc.).
2. Consult a repair manual or online resource: Once you know the transmission type, search online (e.g., using Google or a forum dedicated to classic Ford trucks) or consult a repair manual specific to your year and model Ford F250. These resources will give you the correct fluid capacity for your particular transmission, including whether it's a fill with the engine running or off capacity.
Without knowing the transmission type, any capacity figure would be a guess and potentially inaccurate. Getting the wrong amount of fluid can seriously damage your transmission.
