So I finally had the chance to get my transmission dipstick out and check the level. No surprise, it's bone dry when the vehicle is cold and running. Since I believe it should be at least barely on the bottom when cold and running, seems like it needs some fluid added.
I know these take the ULV fluid, I see 3 brands available. Motorcraft, Mecron, and Valvoline. I'm not sure how much one can mix and match these with the factory oil. Obviously Motorcraft is probably what's in there from the factory, just not sure how compatible the others are. Valvoline is all that's available locally. I can get a good price on Mecron from rock auto too. Can always go to the dealer for Motorcraft, but they're usually not great on price.
Amy recommendations from folks who have had to add trans fluid?
