Re: how many quarts of transmission fluid takes ford
About 15 if you have a flush machine do it. If you do a drain and fill you'l only drain about half of it out. so your not really gaining anything by doing it yourself

Tip: The max point reward for answering a question is 15.
check all fluid levels including the radiator at the cap. Run the fault codes and find out what put the light on. It is there to advise you that continued running may result in serious engine/ transmission damage so check it out asap.
Make : Ford
Model : F-350 Superduty Supercab
year : 2001
Engine type : 7.3 Turbo Diesel
Transmission fluid type : 4R100 automatic transmission
Good Luck
maybe the battery is getting weak. try a new one. most of the time batteries in the super duty diesels only last 2-4 years at the max. Hope this helps you! Good-Day! make sure you are getting at least 14.2 or better at battery with engine running. with engine off, at battery there should be at least 12.6 or better. less than 12 volts battery is bad.
22's answer as to location is correct. Check the fluid after the vehicle has warmed up and with the engine running. Check your manual for fluid type if any is required (should be type "F"). Do not overfill as it will not help. If fluid is a qt low you ahould check transmission lines going from radiator to the tranny as there is a leak somewhere. Also look around the transmission pan for leaks. Slipping of the transmission is the most obvious indicator of low fluid, stepping on the gas but the transmission doesn't push you faster. Hope this helps. GT
The most common place to leak is the rear seal. You will have to put your eyes on it though. Make sure to fix the leak, and refill the system with the correct fluid before driving it again, because transmissions are expensive!
Replace the transmission filter. If transmission still acts up some trash may have penetrated the filter and be causing a shift valve to stick. A teardown and rebuild may be necessary.
You do not list the engine size. This truck comes with 3 engines. 5.4 V8, 7.3 Diesel, and a V10. Your owner's manual will list the capacity. The add mark normally means add 1 quart on a V8. Add 1/2 quart wait 5 minutes and check the level again. The 5.4 L V8 capacity is 6 quarts of 5w20 with filter change. If it is a diesel then it requires a special oil for diesels which is 15w40 weight and it holds 14.5 quarts.
Some of the Ford transmissions actually have an aluminum gear which will go out somewhere around 150 to 200 thousand miles. OR it could be really low on transmission fluid.
