The 2001 Ford F-150 uses Mercon MTF 4r100 transmission fluid and it can hold approximately 14 quarts. Transmission fluid, similar to oil, is a lubricant and its purpose is to make sure that the various working parts of the transmission are not subject to damage from heat. The cost of getting the transmission fluid changed on Your F-150 is between $110 and $140 for labor and $110 for parts. You should get Your transmission fluid changed every 60,000 miles. The signs that You need a transmission fluid change include a grinding noise coming from the transmission, problems shifting gears, slippage during gear shifts, sudden unexplained surges, and a delay in movement after You place the vehicle in gear.
