I'm not a mechanic / technician but I believe the answer is ( NO )
From what I have read there are ( 3 ) different engine blocks for the Ford
4.0 liter Over Head Valve / pushrod design , VIN " X " engine
up to 1994
1995 and 1996
1997 to 2000
* also , in a 1995 Ford Explorer , that was the first model year where the AUTOMATIC transmission was electronically controlled
According to the 1996 Ford Explorer owners manual : Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid is used in the automatic and manual transmissions with the V6 engine
Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid is used in the 5 - speed manual transmission in a 1996 Ford Explorer
The 1993 Ford Explorer used an A4LD automatic transmission and the 1996 Ford Explorer 4.0 L - V6 uses a 4R55E electronically controlled transmission , so I would say no
If it's an automatic transmission , in the transmission fluid dipstick tube located near the firewall to the passenger side of the engine ( using a funnel )
With the engine running , stop , hold foot on brake pedal , shift transmission to neutral , select 4 low , put transmission in gear
The automatic transmission used in the 1995 Ford Explorer is a ( 4R55E )
Yes it should fit.
According to the owners manual, a 1997 Ford Explorer 5 speed manual transmission takes Ford Motorcraft Mercon ATF (automatic transmission fluid)
Dextron III
The transmission fluid for the automatic transmission is added through the automatic transmission fluid dipstick located to the passenger side of the engine near the firewall , use a funnel
Auto? -through the dipstick tube
On a 1991 Ford Explorer : The A4LD automatic transmission uses MERCON automatic transmission fluid according to my Haynes Ford Explorer repair manual * the type of fluid used should be engraved into the automatic transmission fluid level dipstick
