Hi All,

Got a 98 MERC mystique w zetec and CD4E auto trans. I want to do a trans fluid change, How many quarts should this trans take?

Thanks Anthony

Use a 4 qt measuring cup to see how much fluid you get out. Your only going to get about 4 qts out. You'll have to do a drain and fill 3 times.

Awesome thanks Rich!!! My problem is, i don't know if the owner before me changed the original fluid out and went MERCON V synthetic or put the original stuff back in. I don't wanna mix fluids... I am not sure what to do?!?!?
 
Mercon V is the replacement for what went in before and Mercon. Ford quit making regular Mercon and now specifies V to go in in place of it. There is no pan to remove as there is not a bottom one, only on the side and leave that one alone. There is a plug toward the rear of the lower case that unscrews to drain the trans, a 3/8 rachet extension conveniently fits in it.

The two fluids mix freely.
