Maintenance and Specifications Adjusting automatic transmission fluid levels Before adding any fluid, make sure the correct type is used. The type of fluid used is normally indicated on the dipstick and also in the Maintenance product specifications and capacities section in this chapter. Use of a non-approved automatic transmission fluid may cause internal transmission component damage. If necessary, add fluid in 1/2 pint (250 ml) increments through the filler tube until the level is correct. If an overfill occurs, excess fluid MIN MAX should be removed by an authorized dealer. An overfill condition of transmission fluid may cause shift and/or engagement concerns and/or possible damage. Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission operation and result in damage to internal transmission components. For vehicles equipped with the EcoBoost engine, reinstall the air filter assembly. After the fluid level has been checked and adjusted as necessary, do the following: A. Shut the engine off. B. Loosen the clamp holding the air filter assembly to the rubber hose. C. Rotate the air filter assembly 90 degrees clockwise without disconnecting the sensor. D. Seat the air filter assembly back into the grommets by pushing down on the air filter assembly. E. Tighten the clamp. F. Install and tighten two bolts that attach air filter assembly to the front of the vehicle. G. Install the bolt cover (if equipped). H. Reinstall the harness retaining clip into the front of the air filter assembly. 363 2011 Taurus Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
