Measure the quantity you drain - put that much in. The Level Plug is accessible after removing Driver side Wheel and Tire. The plug is a 5/16" or 3/8" Allen Hex or equal Metric. Be sure car is back to level when checking level.

Why do think Ford Engineers say to bring Fluid up to operating temperature to check level? Think Automatics with a DipStick? Transmission Fluid expand in volume with increasing Temperature - That's from a Former Ford Transmission Engineer - ME!

Burping could be from overfill and expansion of the Fluid as Temperature rises.

The Fluid fill amounts are based on normal room temperatures - say 70 degrees F. 4.5 qts is the correct Drain and add amount. If you opened the level checking plug after warm up you have done it correctly. The next time your drain the PTU catch the Fluid in clean container and measured it - it...
