I've been driving a 2006 Mondeo automatic for ten years and have changed the transmission fluid three times myself. In practice, preparing 5 liters of MERCON V standard fluid is sufficient. With a gravity drain, you can typically add about 4.2-4.7 liters. The key is to park the car on a level surface, remove the oil pan, and thoroughly clean out the metal shavings and old fluid. After draining the old fluid, add new fluid until it starts leaking from the overflow tube, then stop. Start the engine and shift through each gear to circulate the fluid, then top it up to the middle mark on the dipstick. Remember to check the fluid level when the car is warm for the most accurate reading—cold levels will be about 1 cm higher. Be careful not to overfill, as it can damage the transmission. I always replace the filter with each fluid change, especially since it's a 15-year-old car.
