2006 Lincoln Town Car Transmission Fluid
The 2006 Lincoln Town Car is a full-size luxury sedan that was produced by Ford Motor Company. It was the last year of production for the Town Car, which was replaced by the Lincoln MKS in 2007.
The 2006 Town Car was available with two engine options: a 4.6-liter V8 and a 5.4-liter V8. Both engines were mated to a four-speed automatic transmission.
The recommended transmission fluid for the 2006 Lincoln Town Car is Mercon V. Mercon V is a synthetic automatic transmission fluid that is designed to provide excellent protection against wear and tear. It also helps to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions.
How to Check the Transmission Fluid Level
- Park the Town Car on a level surface.
- Shift the transmission into Park.
- Open the hood and locate the transmission fluid dipstick.
- Pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean with a rag.
- Reinsert the dipstick into the transmission and pull it out again.
- The fluid level should be between the “Full” and “Add” marks on the dipstick.
How to Add Transmission Fluid
- Purchase a quart of Mercon V transmission fluid.
- Locate the transmission fluid filler tube on the side of the transmission.
- Insert a funnel into the filler tube and add fluid until the level reaches the “Full” mark on the dipstick.
- Replace the filler tube cap and dipstick.
How Often to Change the Transmission Fluid
Ford recommends changing the transmission fluid in the 2006 Town Car every 30,000 miles. However, if you drive in severe conditions, such as stop-and-go traffic or towing, you may need to change the fluid more often.
Changing the transmission fluid is a relatively simple process that can be done at home with a few basic tools. If you are not comfortable changing the fluid yourself, you can take your Town Car to a mechanic to have the service performed.
