FORD 2013 Transit Connect v.2 - Manual (Page 184)

High Fluid Level
Fluid levels above the safe range
may result in transmission failure.
An overfill condition of transmission
fluid may cause shift and/or
engagement concerns and/or
possible damage.
High fluid levels can be caused by
an overheating condition.
Adjusting Automatic Transmission Fluid Levels
Before adding any fluid, make sure the correct type is used. The type
of fluid used is normally indicated on the dipstick and also in the
Capacities and Specifications chapter.
Note: Use of a non-approved automatic transmission fluid may cause
internal transmission component damage.
If necessary, add fluid in 1/2 pint (250 ml) increments through the filler
tube until the level is correct. After adding fluid, wait 20 minutes before
checking the fluid level in order to allow the level to stabilize.
If an overfill occurs, excess fluid
should be removed by an authorized
dealer. If the fluid level is above the
MAX mark, fluid will have to be
removed.
Note: An overfill condition of
transmission fluid may cause shift
and/or engagement concerns and/or
possible damage.
Note: Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments
or cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission
operation and result in damage to internal transmission components.
