FORD 2013 Transit Connect v.1 - Manual (Page 181)

Adjusting Automatic Transmission Fluid Levels
Before adding any fluid, make sure the correct type is used. The type of
fluid used is normally indicated on the dipstick and also in the
Capacities and Specifications chapter.
Note: Use of a non-approved automatic transmission fluid may cause
internal transmission component damage.
If necessary, add fluid in 1/2 pint (250 ml) increments through the filler
tube until the level is correct. After adding fluid, wait 20 minutes before
checking the fluid level in order to allow the level to stabilize.
If an overfill occurs, excess fluid
should be removed by an authorized
dealer. If the fluid level is above the
MAX mark, fluid will have to be
removed.
Note: An overfill condition of
transmission fluid may cause shift
and/or engagement concerns and/or
possible damage.
Note: Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments
or cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission
operation and result in damage to internal transmission components.

BRAKE FLUID CHECK
Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX lines are within the normal
operating range; there is no need to add fluid. If the fluid levels are
outside of the normal operating range, the performance of the system
could be compromised; seek service from your authorized dealer
immediately.
POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK
Check the power steering fluid at the proper intervals. Refer to
Scheduled Maintenance Information.
