The 2006 Ford Escape requires ATF III fluid, which you can buy in 1-quart containers at various retail stores, auto shops, and online car part websites for $3 to $15 per bottle. The vehicle manual indicates a capacity of up to 10.2 quarts of transmission fluid, but some drivers have found that it only took about 5 to 6 quarts to fill the reservoir from empty to the full line. Using a funnel can help prevent spills while adding the new fluid.
For a 2006 Ford Escape with an automatic transmission, it is advised to use Ford or Motorcraft brand automatic transmission fluid as recommended by Ford.
