Transmission Oil Type


Recommended Posts

I just got a 2013 C-Max Energy plug-in hybrid 5 days ago.  I am looking to change all the fluids and filters since I don't know the previous maintenance history of the vehicle. I got everything but I am needing to rely on Advance Auto parts to tell me what type of DOT 4 brake fluid the vehicle needs, the guy handed me a bottle of high mileage Dot 4 fluid and said any Dot 4 brake fluid will work.  Then on Amazon I found some Transmission oil which was listed as compatible with my vehicle, Automatic Transmission Fluid ATF (6 Liters) LIQUI MOLY.  Is this correct?

Your transmission fluid is Motorcraft Mercon LV (low viscosity) ATF and you’ll need 5 quarts for a drain and fill.  You can buy the Mercon LV fluid at AutoZone. 
 

 Your brake fluid is Motorcraft DOT 4 LV high performance brake fluid.  
 

See pages 351-353 at the link below and pay attention to the notes 1 & 3 on page 353.
