The amount of transmission fluid your 2016 Ford Explorer needs depends on the engine you have. If you have the 3.5 L V6, it takes about 11.6 quarts, but for the 2.3 L Ecoboost, it's 9 quarts. It is recommended to use Motorcraft Mercon LV Automatic Transmission Fluid for these engines, or an equivalent if you prefer a different brand. The maintenance schedule advises changing the transmission fluid every 150,000 miles. Although the fluid can be pricey, you won't need to replace it frequently like engine oil.
The 2016 Ford Explorer needs 11 quarts of transmission fluid to be filled up.
