Transmission fluid

I want to change my transmission fluid and filter in an 01 diesel. How many quarts does it hold and what kind of fluid? Thanks for the help again.

Here ya go!

Tranny fluid change

Be advised that the 4R100 uses MERCON. HOWEVER!!!!!! Ford recently changed the spec saying that MERCON V is okay to use and is now the replacment fluid as MERCON is no longer produced.

There was always a big stink made when someone put MERCON V in the 4R100, now Ford says is is okay...hmmm...

Anyway, if you can get your hands on MERCON or a quality dual-use fluid, use it.
