It requires Mercon ATF. Fill it until is starts dripping out of the fill hole. It takes 2.8 quarts.

True, Mercon ATF was the original specified fluid but Ford has since discontinued it. The substitute for Mercon ATF is Mercon V ATF.

It's up to you what you want to use. The dealer only has Mercon V, which will be just fine. Merc/Dex from an auto parts store works too.
