In an SE (5 speed) .. the exact amount needed is 3L .. I'm assuming that SVT is the same ( since its the exact transmission)..

I use 2.7L of Mobil 1 ATF and 0.3L XL7..

and had used Mobil 1 and XL3 for 110,000 kms before I had to change my transmission due to grinding issue..

There has been major controversy on what type of fluid to use.. if you can afford the Ford Honey (which is like $20 US a quart) is the safe bet.. though Iâ??m sure Mobil 1 is fine..

I have the original Manual and a Haynes manual and they state to use ATF.. I know it has been revised recently, but my car had survived 110,000 kms on Mobil 1 before too much "over enthusiastic driving� ruined the synchros..

Cheers
Martin

P.S. Hopefully I don't get Flamed for recommending Mobil 1 :P
