2007 Town Car Transmission Fluid Amount to Fill
How Much Transmission Fluid Does a 2007 Town Car Take?

How to Check the Transmission Fluid Level
- Park the vehicle on a level surface.
- Set the parking brake.
- Start the engine and let it idle.
- Move the gear selector through all the gears, pausing in each gear for a few seconds.
