Additional Notes

  • Both the Ford Freestar 3.9 V6 and 4.2 V6 share an identical automatic transaxle fluid capacity of 13 liters, which is a total system fill figure typical of a full overhaul or dry fill rather than a routine drain-and-refill service.
  • A 13-liter capacity reflects the combined volume of the transaxle housing and torque converter together, as front-wheel-drive transaxle assemblies integrate the transmission and final drive into a single unit with a correspondingly larger fluid volume.
  • The fluid check interval is set at 8,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions across the 2004-2007 model years for both engine variants.
  • The fluid change interval under normal use is 48,000 km for both the 3.9 V6 and 4.2 V6 configurations throughout the 2004-2007 production span.
  • Despite the difference in displacement between the 3.9-liter and 4.2-liter V6 engines, the automatic transaxle specifications are identical across both, indicating a shared transmission unit regardless of engine choice.
