How much transmission fluid does a 2000 ford taurus hold?

Question

I know it takes Mercon V but I am unsure how much fluid it needs when I flush it out. The engine it has is the 3.0 duratec engine.

Answer 1

13 2/5 quarts if you are removing the fluid from both the torque converter and the pan.

Answer 2

2000 Ford Taurus Transmission Fluid

Answer 3

Unfortunately you have and automobile that has a history of transmission problems. I replaced mine after 37000 miles. 1000 over waranty. I promptly sold the car. If the car is smoking after an oil change, the technician probably spilled oil on your manifold. Otherwise you have an oil leak. Also the transmission fluid levels are important but they can be misleading. A car can suffer a transmission failure and you would never see the difference. Get a good mechanic. Stay away from the dealership. I used Ammco Transmission. the last time. They are a little expensive but they are national and they give a 1 year waranty. And they do good work. Good Luck

Answer 4

Well if your using a machine to flush it out then your looking at between 12 to 16 quarts of fluid if your just removing the pan get 5 quarts put in 4 then check it properly.

Answer 5

if you have the owners manual (you better) it states what kind and how much to use and if all else fails put some in run the engine and check the dipstick(it should be red for trans yellow for oil) adding too much is just as bad as not enough remember to check all your fluids regularly( check trans with it running , and im pretty sure you need to shift back and forth from drive to reverse a couple times and then to neutral so someone else needs to hold down the brake if ebrake isnt functioning)

Answer 6

It holds about 13 quarts. You get more than eight of them out just dropping the pan, so there's not really any point in flushing it.
