Additional Notes

  • The Mercury Milan manual transaxle fluid capacity splits into two distinct values across the model's production span. The 2.3 16V configurations from 2005-2009 hold 2.8 liters, while all 2010-2011 configurations — covering the 2.5 16V and 3.0 V6 24V engines in both standard and AWD layouts — hold 2.87 liters.
  • The 2.87-liter figure applies uniformly across all 2010-2011 manual transaxle configurations regardless of engine displacement or drivetrain. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder and the 3.0-liter V6 share an identical fluid capacity, indicating a common transaxle unit across those variants.
  • AWD configurations in the 2005-2009 range carry the same 2.8-liter manual transaxle capacity as the front-wheel-drive 2.3 16V. The AWD system's additional drivetrain components are serviced separately from the manual transaxle fill volume.
  • A 150,000-mile fluid change interval is specified for all 2010-2011 manual transaxle configurations under normal use conditions. Normal use, as a service classification, generally refers to everyday driving without the added stress of towing, extreme temperatures, or frequent stop-and-go operation.
  • No fluid change interval appears in the specifications for the 2005-2009 2.3 16V configurations, either standard or AWD. Only a fill capacity of 2.8 liters is listed for those rows.
  • The 150,000-mile change interval on the 2010-2011 models is notably long for a manual transaxle. Intervals of this length are typically associated with modern synthetic gear fluids, which resist thermal breakdown and maintain viscosity stability over extended mileage.
  • All six configurations across the full 2005-2011 span are designated as normal use, meaning none of the listed specifications carry a separate severe-duty service interval for the manual transaxle fluid.
