2012 Ford Fusion, 2.5L, 6F35 6-Speed Transmission, 135k miles
A week ago or so I did a drain and fill on this again. I think the third time that I've done it. No filter to replace, it's internal (). MC Mercon LV fluid.
My notes from the last changes showed that I filled with 4.5 quarts when done. This time I jacked the back of the car up and got a bit more to drain out.
Ford Tech Makuloco says to make sure that it is full when done.
I warmed it up a bit and filled it to the bottom of the crosshatch area. I drove it a quite a ways and got it hot. In the end, I ended up putting six quarts in.
Yesterday I had a 200 mile drive (3 hours). The end of the drive yesterday afternoon was some gridlock on I-85. It was about 80 outside, A/C running. When I got home, I checked it again and found this:
What does everyone think, is this over full? Should I drain some out? I was actually a bit surprised to see it so full. It shifted fine, no issues noted. What is the risk of overfilling a transmission?
