The coolant capacity of the Ford Ranger is dependent on model year and engine type. The latest model year of the Ford Ranger was 2011. The 2011 Ranger with the 4. 0L V6 and the automatic transmission had a coolant service fill of 13. 2 quarts.
The manual transmission on a Ford Ranger should be changed on a regular basis. Fill the transmission with any good quality regular or synthetic transmission fluid.
Auto - fill it from the dipstick tube.Manual - remove the shift lever and fill from the top.
You fill it through the dipstick tube. If it doesn't have a dipstick tube you have to take it to the dealer because it requires a special tool.
The manual transmission doesn't have a dipstick , there will be a fill plug on the transmission
