**cough** Here is the last step of the drain & fill process from the Ford Manual. Bear in mind this is from a 98 manual, cause I am not sure if there was a fluid reducetion in 99...

Add 3.7 liters (4 quarts) of Motorcraft MERCON ® Multi - Purpose Automatic Transmission Fluid XT - 2 - QDX or equivalent meeting MERCON ® specification. Start the engine and move the transaxle range selector lever through all gear positions. Check the fluid and add as required.

Might want to make sure you are on a level surface. Next time you are at the gas station filling up, check the level then and see where it is.
