yo;
Here is the 96 Owner's Manual on line for free; ny Hiller Ford; it is a pdf
page 345
I forget what engine and if you have SuperC ooling package, etc.
Sandy did a fluid/filter change in his 94
He wrote; "Here we go, then, changing fluid and filter on an E4OD (including the torque converter) (specifically my 1994 5.0L MAF XLT, not that that makes much difference in this case....buy 2 cases of it (24 quarts). Stated capacity of the E4OD is 16.2 US quarts, but with the added external filter and large cooler, I figure it's better to have plenty of extra. "
Fluid & Filter Change in a 95 (torque specs were corrected); no pics
Source: by cemusic86 at FSB "...Refill the transmission fluid. If you haven't had a problem with the torque converter, you won't need all 16 quarts of fluid. I only had to put in about 4.
. Run the engine for about 5 to 10 minutes to warm everything up to operating temperature. Check the fluid level, and look underneath for any leaks. Check operation of the transmission, by depressing the brake pedal, and shift through all of the gears, and slowly. Give just a little gas, not enough to break traction, but enough to give the transmission a little push. This will make sure the fluid travels fully throughout the transmission.
. Check the fluid level again, add fluid if needed. Take a short trip around the block to make sure everything is working properly. Check the fluid once more, and look underneath for leaks..."
Fluid Level Check in a 96; Following is from my 96's Owner's Guide; same as your year; It is preferable to check the transmission fluid level at normal operating temperature 150°F-170°F (66°C-77°C), after approximately 20 miles (32 km) of driving. However, if necessary, you can check the fluid level without having to drive 20 miles (32 km) to obtain a normal operating temperature if outside temperatures are above 50°F (10°C). NOTE: If the vehicle has been operated for an extended period at high speeds or in city traffic during hot weather, or pulling a trailer, the vehicle should be turned off for about 30 minutes to allow the fluid to cool before checking. With the vehicle on a level surface, start the engine and move the transmission shift selector through all of the gear ranges allowing sufficient time for each position to engage. Securely latch the transmission shift selector in the Park (P) position, fully set the parking brake and leave the engine running. NOTE: Vehicles equipped with the 4x4 option must have the 4x4 shift selector in any position other than neutral. WARNING Your vehicle should not be driven if the fluid level is below the bottom hole on the dipstick and outside temperatures are above 50°F (10°C).Wipe off the dipstick cap, pull the dipstick out and wipe the indicator end clean. Put the dipstick back into the filler tube and make sure it is fully seated. Pull the dipstick out and read the fluid level. When checking fluid at normal operating temperature, the fluid level should be within the crosshatched area on the dipstick. When the vehicle has not been driven, and outside temperature is above 50°F (10°C), the fluid level should be between the holes on the dipstick. Adding Automatic Transmission Fluid The fluid type is stamped on the dipstick. Before adding any fluid, be sure that the correct type will be used. Add fluid in 1/2 pint (.25L) increments through the filler tube to bring the level to the correct area on the dipstick. If an overfill occurs, excess fluid should be removed.

Fluid & Filter Change in a 96 from 1996 All F-Series and Bronco with E4OD Automatic Transmission Workshop Manual
Loosen, then remove the transmission fluid pan attaching bolts to drain fluid.
CAUTION: Cork gaskets and elastomeric gaskets are not interchangeable. If you remove a cork gasket, replace it with a cork gasket. If you remove an elastomeric gasket, clean, inspect and reuse unless gasket is damaged. Be careful not to cut or bend elastomeric gasket.
Remove transmission pan gasket. If transmission is equipped with a cork gasket, discard it. If transmission is equipped with the new elastomeric reusable gasket, clean, inspect and reuse unless damaged.
Old Style Transmission Pan and Cork Transmission Pan Gasket
see diagram dd0610a
New Style Transmission Pan and Elastomeric Pan Gasket
see diagram dd0611a
Perform required internal repair and cleaning.
Drain the torque converter by removing drain plug.
Thoroughly flush torque converter (7902), cooler lines and transmission in-tank radiator cooler and auxiliary cooler (if equipped).
After torque converter has been drained, install new torque converter drain plug and tighten to 24-27 Nm (18-20 lb-ft).
CAUTION: Mixing 4x4 and 4x2 transmission fluid filters and transmission pan assembly components could cause transmission damage.
Select the appropriate style filter assembly and transmission pan for either 4x2 or 4x4 models.
see d16541a
Replace fluid filter and seal assembly.
CAUTION: Cork gaskets and elastomeric gaskets are not interchangeable. If you remove a cork gasket, replace it with a cork gasket. If you remove an elastomeric gasket, clean, inspect and reuse unless gasket is damaged. Be careful not to cut or bend elastomeric gasket.
NOTE: A unique transmission pan and pan retaining bolts are required to use the new elastomeric gasket for past model service. The cork style gasket will be retained for past model service where a new transmission pan is not required. If the transmission pan is damaged and requires replacement, a kit will be available. This kit will contain a transmission pan, elastomeric gasket and 20 pan bolts having an increased thread length to accommodate current and past model usage.
If transmission is equipped with a cork gasket, discard it and install a new gasket. If transmission is equipped with the new elastomeric reusable gasket, clean, inspect and reuse unless damaged.
Install cleaned pan, gasket and bolts. Tighten bolts to 14-16 Nm (10-12 lb-ft).
CAUTION: Use only MERCON® service fluid as the use of any other fluids may result in a transmission malfunction or failure.
Add 6.2 liters (6.5 quarts) of MERCON® service fluid to the transmission through the fluid filler tube.
Start engine. Move the transmission range selector lever through all gear ranges, checking for engagements.
Check and adjust the transmission fluid level in 0.24 liter (0.5-pint) increments to the proper level (cross-hatched area of the fluid level indicator (7A020) at normal operating temperatures)..."
