Auto Tranny Fluid Question

2092 Views 2 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  kevilay_4633
Hey guys,

I have a 1995 F350 with an automatic transmission. I purchased a 6.0 transmission cooler (FORD GENUINE OEM 26 ROW TRANSMISSION COOLER - 5C3Z7A095CA) with the adapters to hook it up to the 7.3 tranny. Online it says I need about 15L of fluid. When I drain it will the torque convertor empty? Do I need additional fluid for the bigger cooler? The fluid here is stupid expensive now so I just want to make sure I pickup the right amount for the job. Any recommendations for fluid type/brand?

Also what recommendation do you guys have for fluid type/brand for the rear end.

Thanks,
Kevin

I finished the cooler install. I tookout about 8 L of oil out of the system from the cooler and the tranny pan. I was unable to drain the torque convertor. I purchased only 6 quarts of fluid. I will hit the store tomorrow and buy another 3
