The type of transmission fluid You put in the 2005 Ford Escape 3.0 L V6 depends on whether it is manual or automatic. The best fluid to us in the manual transmission is Motorcraft SAE 75W-90 API GL-4 Gear Oil. These transmissions have a fluid capacity of between 24 to 2.5 quarts. The automatic transmission performs best when using Motorcraft MERCON ATF and it can hold 10.2 quarts. The transmission fluid level should be checked routinely and should be done one of fluid in their operating temperatures. Make sure the fluid level falls within the crosshatched zone and if it is below that already more to bring it into this range. Do not overflow the transmission fluid as this could damage to the transmission.
