How many quarts of transmission fluid for a ford tauras 1996 3.0 liter?

Answer 1

That all depends, are you changing out ALL of the tranny fluid? have you taken apart the entire transmission and gotten every last drop and drip out? or are you only changing the tranny fluid and filter?, if that is the case than usually not all of the fluid comes out so start with putting only 4 quarts back in, let it sit for say an hour so all the fluid gets to go down into the tranny pan, start your engine and let it warm up, and then drive it around a few blocks till your tranny is heated up, pull over and leave your engine RUNNING, DONT forget to apply the emergency brakes BEFORE you get out of your running vehicle, pop your hood open and check your tranny's dip-stick while the vehicle is idling and hot, if the fluid is low than add a small amount like 1/4 of a quart at a time, overfilling it will damage a tranny just as much as being underfilled! MOST vehicles tell you all this in the owners manual and or on the dipstick itself!
