Additional Notes

  • The Lincoln Town Car 4.9 V8 (1986-1990) and the 4.6 V8 (1991-1998) share an identical automatic transmission fluid capacity of 11.7 liters, despite the engine displacement change between those two generations.
  • The 4.6 V8 covering 1999-2002 carries a capacity of 13.1 liters, which represents a notable increase over the 11.7-liter figure associated with earlier Town Car configurations.
  • For the 4.6 V8 (2003-2011), the 13.2-liter figure is specified as a dry fill, meaning the measurement reflects a fully drained transmission with no residual fluid retained in the torque converter or cooler lines.
  • The 4.6 V8 (1999-2002) carries a fluid check interval of 24,000 km alongside a change interval of 190,000 km under normal use conditions.
  • The 4.6 V8 (2003-2011) specifies a change interval expressed in miles rather than kilometers, set at 150,000 miles under normal use conditions.
  • The 4.9 V8 (1986-1990) is the only configuration in the specifications carrying a severe use condition entry, with a change interval of 48,000 km applied alongside the same 11.7-liter capacity as the normal use row.
  • The severe use interval of 48,000 km for the 4.9 V8 (1986-1990) reflects a significantly more frequent service schedule compared to the long-interval figures seen in later 4.6 V8 specifications under normal use.
