Every 2005 Ford Explorer model is equipped with the same 5R55S automatic transmission. It is recommended to use Mercon V ATF for the transmission fluid, requiring a total fill of 12.7 quarts. When changing the fluid regularly, you will only replace about a third of it since a portion remains in the system after draining. For routine maintenance, plan to use around a gallon or slightly more for each change. It is important to change the transmission fluid every 30,000 to 50,000 miles and monitor levels in between to prevent fluid breakdown and low levels, which are major causes of transmission issues in the '05 Explorer.
The 2005 Ford Explorer is designed to hold 11 quarts of transmission fluid.
