The Ford C-Max requires synthetic blend transmission fluid for its transmission. Synthetic blend transmission fluid is recommended for vehicles that see heavy use, such as those used for towing or hauling, and for vehicles that frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic.
Please note that it is always a good idea to consult the owner’s manual or contact a Ford dealership for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the specific transmission fluid requirements for your Ford C-Max.

Why did Ford discontinue the C-Max?
Ford is dropping the Grand C-Max, shown, because of a sharp drop in demand as customers switch to SUVs and crossovers. Ford confirmed it will end production of its C-Max minivan at its factory in Saarlouis, Germany, but said the plant will stay open with further investment in the Focus car that is also built there.
What Fords use Type F transmission fluid?
FORD TYPE F AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
Phillips 66® Type F ATF is specifically designed for use in automatic transmissions in passenger cars and light trucks manufactured by Ford Motor Company prior to 1977, and in many 1977-1981 models.
Does it matter what transmission fluid I use?
The type of transmission fluid you should use depends upon the make, model and year of your vehicle. For example, many General Motor cars will require a DEXRON fluid and Ford cars commonly specify a MERCON fluid. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer recommendation for proper fluid use and change interval.
Is Mercon V compatible with type F?
These were uniquely considered when we developed Valvoline Mercon V ATF. It’s suitable for most Ford, Lincoln and Mercury passenger cars and light-duty trucks (except those specifying Mercon SP, Mercon LV, Mercon ULV or Type F fluids), as well as most pre-2006 GM vehicles and many imports.
Is Mercon ATF the same as Type F?
MERCON® fluids are back serviceable to Ford vehicles produced since 1981. Generally, vehicles produced prior to that model year require a different type of fluid, Ford Type F. The use of Type F fluids in transmissions designed for MERCON®, or vice versa, could result in poor shift quality.
What kind of transmission does a Ford C-Max have in it?

Is dexron and Mercon transmission fluid the same?
In short, the answer is no, and it’s why you want to use an OE approved fluid specific to your car. Dexron fluids are used by GM. Ford and Mazda designed their transmissions for Mercon. Other import brands like Honda (DW-1) and Toyota (ATF Type-T) have their own specific fluid too.

What is the common problem with Ford C-Max?
