Transmission Fluid Change April 21, 2023, 01:22:09 pm 09 with 30K milesI checked the owner's manual and it indicates, for transmissions without an external filter, the first fluid change is at 60K. Is that what you guys recommend?jor
Re: Transmission Fluid Change Reply #1 – April 21, 2023, 02:05:54 pm Jor,You may wish to read the owners manual addendum on towing, if you tow a vehicle. Many of the service intervals are shorter in this circumstance. Warren
Re: Transmission Fluid Change Reply #2 – April 21, 2023, 03:50:11 pm More frequent oil and filter changes are recommended if used for towing or other HD operations.If you do it yourself, a filter and 8 qts of fluid are not that expensive. I usually do a total flush, using 22 qts of fluid.https://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/catalog/owner_guides/09frdmg2e.pdf Page 42Every 30,000 milesChange automatic transmission/transaxle fluid Larry
Re: Transmission Fluid Change Reply #3 – April 21, 2023, 05:44:04 pm Thanks, guys. We almost always tow. I figured that would be the case. I hate that messy job. This trans has a drain plug but of course you have to drop the cover to get to the filter. Never could figure out why manufacturers don't use external filters. Thanks for the Guide, Larry. Just the ticket.jor
