Manual Transaxle Fluid - Ford 1996 Contour Manual

Adding Automatic Transaxle Fluid
Before adding any fluid, be sure that the correct type will be
used. Correct type is shown on the dipstick.
Add fluid in 1/2 pint (.25L) increments through the filler tube
to bring the level to the correct area on the dipstick. DO NOT
OVERFILL. If the level is above the top hole on the dipstick,
excess fluid should be removed by a qualified technician.
NOTE: Always dispose of used automotive fluids in a
responsible manner. Follow your community's
standards for disposing of these types of fluids. Call
your local recycling center to find out about recycling
automotive fluids.

The lubricant level and quality should not deteriorate under
