i would think it be the same as the 4 speed
should be a filler plug on one side of the gearbox add the correct fluid with a pump untill it flows out. start the car and even take it for a drive ( if you have the rear wheels off the ground no need ) make sure you move through the gears ie D 1,2,3 R etc and then check again  if it does not flow out add more!

I found out how to find the level on the 5 speed auto,it is the same box as the ford explorer of the same year as the fg
As per you tube videos ,you start the engine and get it up to normal temp You then remove the small torx bung that is inside the auto sump plug Then you add oil with a pump through the bung hole You keep pumping it in until it starts running out when it stops running out it is full In my case it took another 3ltrs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUP-nOsoJMA I hope this may help others with the same problem Brian |
