What kind of transmission fluid does a Ford Taurus use?

The Ford Taurus uses Mercon V automatic transmission fluid (ATF). It is important to use the correct type of fluid to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the transmission. Mercon V is recommended for Taurus models and is readily available at Ford dealerships and auto parts stores.
It is worth noting that some older Ford vehicles specifically require “Type F” transmission fluid in the power steering unit, but this does not apply to the Ford Taurus.
When performing a transmission fluid change, it is recommended to have a reputable shop do it, as they will have the necessary equipment, such as a flush machine, to ensure a thorough fluid change. Partial fluid changes may leave contaminants in the system and can dirty the new fluid more quickly.
Always refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual or consult with a certified mechanic for specific recommendations and instructions regarding transmission fluid changes for your Ford Taurus.
