Apparently the early '08s did use SP and they changed to LV later in production. The OP should confirm what is specified for his particular transmission.

Service manual says 7.1 L or 7.5 qts. for drain and refill. Torque drain pan plug to 20 Nm or 177 lb-in. Then check dipstick at normal operating temperature and add in increments of .24L or 1/2 pint till proper level in the cross hatch area of dip stick.
I measure what I drain; it is always 8 qts.
I have the later model without the external filter; so the internal filter was changed during the 60,000 mile service per the maintenance schedule.
Motorcraft® MERCON® LV Automatic Transmission Fluid
XT-10-QLV; original spec was the SP
