I believe Onejay was trying to link you to what I had told another member about when he was trying to fill his transmission:

If you drained your transmission, start with adding about 3 quarts of fluid, and work your way up.

If you catch yourself wondering what type of transmission fluid your Lex takes, you can almost always refer to the dipstick. It'll tell you at the bottom, near the hot/cold line.

And when adding almost any fluid, always remember, its easier to ADD then REMOVE... add fluid in small increments.

check the trans while the engine is running, on level ground in P or N, be sure to shift the car through all the gears a few times, then double check the fluid level, car still running.

Fluid should be halfway between "hot" and "cold" with the car almost at cold to almost normal temp. You'll most likely have to check/wipe/check/wipe the dipstick multiple times due to the fact the fluid you added via the dipstick is getting all over the dipstick when you re-insert it, making it look more full then it really is.

After really driving the car, on the freeway for a few miles, double check it, it should have risen to the "hot" hash
