Additional Notes

  • The Lincoln LS automatic transmission carries an 11.2-liter dry fill capacity across both the 3.0 V6 24V and 4.0 V8 32V engine configurations, spanning the full 2000-2006 model range.
  • A dry fill figure represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely empty transmission, such as after a full overhaul or unit replacement, rather than a routine drain-and-refill service.
  • Under normal use conditions, the automatic transmission fluid change interval is set at 150,000 miles for both the V6 and V8 variants.
  • Under severe use conditions, the same transmission requires a fluid change at 30,000 miles, which is one-fifth of the normal-use interval, reflecting the significantly greater thermal and mechanical stress placed on the fluid in demanding driving situations.
  • The 11.2-liter dry fill capacity is identical between the 3.0 V6 24V and 4.0 V8 32V engines, indicating both configurations share the same automatic transmission unit across the 2000-2006 production span.
