NOTE: The F-Super Duty Motorhome uses an additional 0.9L (1.0 quart) of fluid for the auxiliary transmission fluid cooler.

Approximate capacity includes transmission fluid cooler and transmission fluid cooler tubes. Use fluid level indicator (7A020) to determine actual fluid requirement and fluid specifications. Check level at operating temperature. DO NOT OVERFILL. An additional 0.3L (0.3 quart) is required if vehicle has an auxiliary transmission fluid cooler.
