Well,
There I go. You need to know which trans you have first. You didn't
say manual or automatic. The E4OD and 4R100 transmission system holds
almost 18 quarts of ATF, and you must waste a couple of quarts to be
sure you get it all purged and replaced, so buy 20 quarts of MERCON
ATF [For the 4R100, use MERCON V]. You may use either conventional or
synthetic, as long as it meets the above requirements.

May I suggest that while you have the pan off you have a 1/8" bung
welded in, normally in the front edge so that you will have a drain
for next time and maybe a place to install a temp probe if there is
one in your future..........Terry
