* E4OD Automatic Transmission: Requires Mercon ATF. Specifically, Ford Mercon V is recommended, but Mercon (the older specification) is also compatible. However, using Mercon V is generally preferred for better performance and longevity.
* Manual Transmission: If it's a manual transmission, it uses gear oil. The specific weight (like 75W-90, 80W-90) should be specified in your owner's manual. Failing that, a standard GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil of appropriate weight is usually suitable, but check your owner's manual for recommendations.
To find out which transmission you have:
1. Check your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source of information.
2. Look under the hood: The transmission type may be stamped on a tag somewhere near the transmission itself.
3. Look at the shifter: A manual transmission will have a distinct gear shift pattern.
Always check your owner's manual for the exact specifications recommended by Ford. Using the wrong type of fluid can seriously damage your transmission.
