What type of transmission fluid does a 1995 Ford Ranger take?

The 1995 Ford Ranger takes Mercon automatic transmission fluid. This is the recommended fluid for the Ranger's 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.


Detailed Answer


The 1995 Ford Ranger was available with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission. For both of these transmission types, the recommended fluid is Mercon automatic transmission fluid.


Mercon is a specification developed by Ford for automatic transmission fluids. It is designed to provide the proper lubrication, friction characteristics, and anti-wear properties required for Ford's transmissions. Using the correct Mercon fluid is important to ensure the transmission operates properly and lasts as long as possible.


Transmission Fluid Capacity


The 1995 Ford Ranger's transmission fluid capacity varies depending on the transmission type:



  • 5-speed manual transmission: 2.4 quarts (2.3 liters)

  • 4-speed automatic transmission: 9.5 quarts (9 liters)


It's important to check the transmission fluid level regularly and top it up if necessary, using the recommended Mercon fluid. Consult your owner's manual or a Ford service professional for the proper procedure.


Transmission Fluid Change Interval


Ford recommends changing the transmission fluid in a 1995 Ranger every 30,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first. This helps ensure the fluid maintains its lubricating and protective properties over time.


Proper maintenance of the transmission fluid is crucial for the long-term health and performance of the Ranger's transmission. Using the correct Mercon fluid and following the recommended change interval will help keep your 1995 Ford Ranger's transmission running smoothly.
