My transmission fluid is leaking from my 2000 Ford Taurus. I went to get my fluid changed - They said it was bone dry(Tran Fluid) He only put one quart in. How many should I add myself?How many quarts of transmission fluid should be in a V-6 engine?
check the manualHow many quarts of transmission fluid should be in a V-6 engine?
Check your owners manual for the fluid capacity of your transmission. If a shop said your tranny was %26quot;bone dry%26quot; then what is his definition of that? If the fluid was touching the stick, thats hardly bone dry. If it wasnt even showing, then check it yourself by setting your parking brake, putting wheelchocks under the tires, and have the car running and in neutral on level ground. Check the fluid level and adjust as needed. Do not overfill, as that can cause even more problems. I recommend getting the leaks handled asap or you run the risk of cooking that tranny and either rebuilding/replacing it, or trashing the car and getting a new one.

Your trans is either a AXOD or a AX4N. It will hold around 12 quarts when it is %26quot;bone dry%26quot;. Your trans probably isnt %26quot;bone dry%26quot;so start the engine, put car in park (not neutral) and add 1 quart at a time until it is on the stick and then add a little at a time until it is in the checkered area of the dipstick. Get that leak fixed ASAP.How many quarts of transmission fluid should be in a V-6 engine?
the axod or the ax4n or equivalent usually hold about 14 qts if i remember right, but ill bet that the tech only looked at the dipstick and saw that it was dry and made a comment that he had not researched. perhaps the dipstick was dry but that should only take a quart or two to resolve.
