Automatic Transmission Fluid - Ford Mustang Owner's Manual

Fluid level for power steering
Use only power steering fluid that meets Ford
Specification Mercon ATF XT-2-QDX or an
equivalent.
NOTE: If the power steering fluid is low, do
not drive your vehicle for a long
period of time before adding fluid.
This can damage the power steering
pump.

Automatic Transmission Fluid

Under normal circumstances, you do not need to
check the fluid level of the transmission, since
your vehicle does not use up transmission fluid.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule booklet for
replacement intervals. However, if the
transmission is not working properly — for
instance, the transmission may slip or shift
slowly, or you may notice some sign of fluid
leakage — the fluid level should be checked.
