According to the 1997 Mercury Mountaineer owners manual : Your 4R70W automatic transmission capacity is ( 13.9 quarts ) * that of couse would be for the transmission , torque converter , lines , transmission cooler , etcetera *
depending on the model of transmission you have you may have to drop the transmission pan. on the 4R70W transmission, there is no drain plug. you must drop the lower trans-pan in order to change the fluid. once the pan is down, remove the silver disk plug in the transmission case close to the motor. from here you have access to the torque converter. on the torque converter there is a drain plug to change the fluid here too. The vehicle uses MERCON V type transmission fluid. if you have the 4R70W trans, and you drain the torque converter, you can expect to put 14 quarts of fluid back in. The other transmission is the 4R100, and has a drain plug in the pan. follow the same procedure for draining the torque converter as well on this transmission. if you have this transmission, and are 2 wheel drive, the unit will take just over 17 quarts. If the vehicle is 4x4 the transmission pan is alittle larger and will take close to 18 quarts.
Answer12 including the torque converter.
completely empty, 6 quarts. if torque converter is full, 4 quarts
One qt.
A C6 transmission including the torque converter will take 12.5 quarts.
The total fluid is 9 quarts. When draining the fluid only about 4 quarts will come out as the rest stays in the torque converter.
5 quarts when it is full. 1 to 2 quarts when it is new before you install it..
14 quarts of transmission fluid with torque converter emptied, 7-8 quarts of transmission fluid with just the pan removal and pan emptied.
The Torque Converter uses the same fluid as the transmission. The transmission has a filter. So, in effect...the answer is "Yes" torque converter fluid is filtered. However, the torque converter has no special fluid of its own.
7.4 quarts or 10.1 quarts including the torque converter
13 quarts that is including the torque converter
