One 6R140 pan-drop service for a 2011-2019 Ford 6.7L Powerstroke: three gallons of Dexron VI plus the DF-320 internal and spin-on filter set.
Three gallons of full synthetic DEX6 automatic transmission fluid, a pan filter that replaces Ford BC3Z-7A098-B and a pan gasket that replaces BC3Z-7A191-B, boxed together for the Ford 6R140 TorqShift. The packaging lists the 2011-2019 F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty, plus E-Series and medium duty trucks that use this transmission. Twelve quarts is more fluid than a basic pan drop needs, which suits a deep-pan truck, a valve body job, or a pan drop followed by a second drain and fill. Read the fluid note below before you order, because it decides whether this kit or our Mercon LV kit is the right box for your truck.
Ford specifies Mercon LV for every 6R140. That is on the Ford Component Sales spec sheet and on Ford's Motorcraft fluid chart, which lists Mercon LV for the Super Duty, medium duty and E-Series 6R140 and Mercon ULV only for the newer 10-speeds. The fluid in this kit is a DEX6, Dexron VI type, synthetic. Before you fill, read the jug label and confirm it states Mercon LV suitability. If your truck is under warranty, or you want exactly what Ford calls for, order the 6R140 service kit with Motorcraft Mercon LV instead. Mixing two fluid types in one fill is something we would avoid either way.
The 6R140 pump draws through a single pan filter with a round intake neck and an O-ring seal. Sonnax traced an intermittent neutral on grades to that seal: the filter fell out when its bolt was removed, line pressure dropped from a 90-260 psi range to zero, and a better O-ring fixed it without a rebuild. A clogged or poorly sealed filter shows up as:
A fluid change will not fix a slipping clutch or a stuck valve. Look at the pan magnet and the drained fluid first: heavy metal or burnt lining means the problem is inside the unit. Our 6R140 filter and pan service guide covers how to read the pan, and the 6R140 pressure control solenoid guide covers shift complaints that look like fluid problems but are not.
The filter and gasket fit the 6R140 used from 2011 through 2019 in the F-250 to F-550 Super Duty, diesel and gas. The packaging also names some later medium duty and E-Series applications; if yours is one of those, send us the year and VIN before ordering. The 6R100 and the 10R140 take different parts.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Ford specifies Mercon LV for the 6R140. Check the jug label for a Mercon LV suitability statement, or order our Mercon LV kit if you want the factory fluid.
No. The kit contains three gallons of fluid, one pan filter and one pan gasket.
About 8.2 quarts after a pan drop on a stock pan, about 10.2 quarts if the valve body comes out. Deep aftermarket pans take more.
Most 2020-up Super Duty pickups use the 10R140, which needs a different filter and Mercon ULV. Send us the VIN and we will confirm.
The factory gasket is reusable if it is not torn or leaking, but a new one is included, so use it if the old one shows any damage.
