★ Top Answer
The 2011 Ford Fusion utilizes Mercon V automatic transmission fluid, which is commonly found in most newer Ford vehicles with a standard automatic transmission. It's important to regularly check your transmission fluid, ideally each time you have your oil changed, to ensure it is clean and at the proper level. Ford suggests changing the fluid every 60,000 to 90,000 miles based on its condition. Avoid mixing different types of oil in your transmission as this could lead to oil breakdown and failure, resulting in inadequate gear protection and increased wear and tear. Given that the transmission is one of the costliest components of your car, it's best to prevent the need for a replacement.
