The 2015 Ford Taurus requires Mercon V ATF Transmission Fluid, with a capacity of 5.6 quarts. Transmission fluid, much like oil, acts as a lubricant to protect the transmission's moving parts from heat damage. The typical cost for a transmission fluid change for your Taurus ranges between $110 and $200 for both labor and parts. It is recommended to have your transmission fluid changed every 90,000 miles. Signs that indicate you may need a transmission fluid change include hearing a grinding noise from the transmission, experiencing difficulties shifting gears, slippage during gear changes, sudden unexplained surges, and a delay in motion after putting the vehicle in gear.
The information provided about the Ford Taurus in 2015 regarding Mercon LV is incorrect.
The recommended transmission fluid for the 2015 Ford Taurus is Mercon V Automatic Transmission Fluid.
The cap on my 2015 Ford Taurus transmission is labeled with "Mercon LV.
I believe that the older versions of cars typically used Mercon V until around 2010, after which they switched to the LV type.
Bob Malloch, you're absolutely right!
