The 2013 Ford F-150 uses Mercon V which is a fully synthetic automatic transmission fluid. To change the transmission fluid You will want to first make sure the car is level on the ground and then pop the hood open. Now locate the transmission fluid container, it should be on or near the transmission itself, and find the dipstick. Pull it out and wipe it clean, then put it back in and pull it back out. Note the amount of fluid it says is in there, and how much You need to put in to fill the container. Use a funnel and top of the container until it is full, or right at full. Being a smidge under is fine, but do not overfill. Now close up the container and You are good to go.

@Mike E - that is not even remotely close to how you change the transmission fluid in a 2013 Ford F-150.
Check your owners manual for fluid capacities as well as what is recommended. My 6 speed auto 3.5 Ecoboost F150 which has the 6R80 transmission takes Motorcraft Mercon LV fluid. Use nothing else but Motorcraft.

Mike E's answer doesn't seem quite right. If one pops the hood, one will not find a transmission dipstick. Instead, Ford has provided a kind of mini dipstick that you have access to from the bottom of the vehicle. One must remove the fill hole cover to gain access to it. Next, I believe the correct Mercon is LV, not V.

Ford f-150s need a synthetic transmission fluid, brands like stp, valvoline, and castrol, all have compatible synthetic transmission fluid.
