First of all, I'd recommend you to buy the correct transmission oil from the dealer.

Dropping the transmission pan can only change a small portion of the automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF), because most of the fluid is in the Torque Converter. Unless you are also changing the filter, I'd recommend you to do the flush through the transmission cooler line.

1) Find the transmission cooler return hose (on my 08 Fusion, if you sit on the driver's seat, it is the one that is leftmost).

2) Disconnect the cooler return hose from the transmission end.

3) Put the hose into a container with graduated scales.

4) Start the engine (to idle only to avoid damage), when you see 3 Qt of ATF flows out, turn off the engine.

5) Fill 3 Qts of ATF through the transmission oil stick.

6) repeat 3) and 4) three times

7) reconnect the cooler return line

8) fill transmission fluid to the required level (be aware, when you check the transmission fluid, the engine should be running, and you should let the Stick lever go through all the gears beforehand).
