Since my 2001 Lincoln LS (v6) does NOT have a transfill tube...
You have NO reason to top off ANY fluids,if you think about it. If you had a leak,you would repair it. Fluids don't get consumed. You can do whatever you want,it is your vehicle. On the LS and most fords the instructions are on the bottom of the trans oil pan. The fill,is the plug on the tail housing. You have,to have the correct filler container and a compressor,to blow it in, or make up one. Mercon V -on the fluid. You have to put the car on 4 jack stands,to get under it, and better know where to support it. I have a 2004 LS and it isn't very easy to work on. I assume you have issues,or the trans shop wouldn't have been mentioned. The solenoid trans pack,fail on these, as well as the TPS,EGR,and many Ignition coils. Change/flush the Power Steering Fluid. Regular Mercon, not V. Don't forget the Cabin Filter,under the plastic wiper cowl cover,pass side. Gas filter behind driver side wheel well, plastic cover,remove tire first. Push on release with fingers,don't pry up with screw driver?
