At how many miles we need to change the fluid and filter im at 45k
@@michoacanom4320 same question! I have 25k miles and about 15% of it is towing a 8,000lb trailer
@@stevenkrupp5732 i dont tow nothing and haul no more then 1000lbs with humans inside 🤣🤣😂😂😂 i will google it n go to my manual and see if i can find any info
Just did this maintenance myself a couple weeks ago (2018 F-150 5.0L).
I was searching this channel before doing the maintenance.
Love your videos Brian!
Really appreciate you including the torque specs & Ford OEM part numbers!!
Ford claims this maintenance interval is 150,000 miles!!?
Did mine at 40,000 miles.
Do you recommend pan drop & filter change every 30k?
Unless you tow frequently going to 50k for this service seems reasonable. I checked my fluid at 30k and it looked pretty good.
I was considering servicing my 2018 trans fluid, but 6 minutes into this video I decided to let you do it.
Pin this comment lmao seriously just pay to have it done
anyone else get happy when this dude puts out a new vid, even though you dont own any of these vehicles?
I had the confidence to buy an older 5.4 3V because his videos are so awesome. I was going to get a GM, but the LS engine is the only thing good about them. The interiors in particular really suck. They fall apart bad.
@@JimBronson man, GM has been such complete garbage for the longest time, but their newer vehicles arent so bad.. i think they may be doing a turnaround. though the entire truck culture of GM is pretty horrible. some kind of masculinity crap. but their full sized trucks and suv's are the only interesting they make
@@andiarrohnds5163 but they just made them look hideous now.
I may never actually do one of these jobs, but I still feel like I learn a ton with every video!
Brian is the ONLY guy I allow to service this on my F-150's. Just bought a new 2022 and he will see me at 40,000 miles. Great service
You are lucky to have him close by, so you can go to him.
Grandpa alway said the engineer caught his wife in bed with the mechanic. This video proves that theory
It’s not the engineers that choose this, it’s the managers
@@booya6437 no its the damn money pincher. That's too much like spending an extra 5 dollars so we have to redesign it but don't scrap the design you already have so you have to make it work.
not the first comment i wanted to see lol
So underrated comment lmfao🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeppers! ... those who love sharp pencils and sleep with slide-rules under their pillow!
Glad people like you are around to do these things for us. No way I'd do this on my own. My anxiety and anger would get the best of me doing this.
Ask your doctor about Xanax.
Just the way Ford planned........
@@dennisgt479 That was evident the minute I saw no drain plug..
@@beezertwelvewashingbeard8703 why is that what he prescribed u?
If you aren't changing the filter you can just suck the old fluid out the fill hole. Won't get the magnet clean but better than nothing
Your videos are so well done! It amazes me how modernization makes for increased difficulty.
Absolutely the best video about the fluid and filter change out there. Definitely will give me confidence to do it myself.
I own two ford's and a lincoln and m have owned several models and I feel more comfortable owning these cars with this channel. He is the best reference out there, videos are easy to watch and the perfect amount of information. Love this channel.
Great video. I did my t-case and diffs recently and was contemplating doing coolant and trans soon. Very timely information, thank you (2018 F-150, 5.0) you definitely confirmed I don't want to try this in my driveway for sure. Will get the supplies and "borrow" a friend that has a lift to help me get this done. Got a little over 70K on mine so I want to get it done soon.
You're doing a fine job, sir. A true professional...very impressive. Dig the attitude as well.
Bought an ‘09 F150 with 67,000 miles on it this summer. Excited to find this channel. More exciting to find out I’m an hour from your shop.
Makes me even more appreciative of the comparative simplicity of servicing my 2011 Screw FX4 F150 5.0L 6R80. Early on I installed a proper trans dipstick and drain plug on mine.100,000+ miles with lots of RV towing with multiple trips to Texas, Alaska etc. And still looks and runs like new.
I added a drain plug and dipstick tube to the tranny pan on my 2014 Mustang GT so my future changes will be a lot more easy.
Fluid change of my 10-speed transmission is pending. Thanks for your detailed explanation. Really supportive as always by Makuloco. All the best for 2021 and stay healthy.
Just did the filter and fluid on my 2018 3.5EB with max tow package, so I have a cooler, too. It was frustrating as hell until I dropped the sway bar. Much easier then! You rock Makuloco!
Excellent video. I've been waiting for someone to do one on this job. I appreciate the detail you go into on all your videos.
You're the best, Brian. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Servicing my 6r60 seems so easy after watching this video, especially now that I added a oil drain plug to the pan.
This video was a great guide for me this past weekend. I have the 2.7 but still had to jack up the trans to slide in the PPE deep pan. Couldn't have done the project without this guide. Thanks!
I know it seems like it is stuck but the pan comes right out if you angle it right.
This is a great tutorial video. Long enough to provide the information to complete the service yourself.
Great job Brian! Very detailed and thorough.
I just did this service on my 2019 F-150 with the 5.0L after servicing the transfer case, and it took my all afternoon. I ended up using around 5 1/2 quarts, probably because I haven’t touched the filter since my truck was at 29.6k. I did accidentally overfilled it by pumping 6 quarts and it was above the desired mark. Luckily, I corrected the problem after about 10 miles of driving. All I can say is, if I hadn’t watched this video, then I would be struggling with this big time.
Can't thank you enough for another great video sir! To attempt to give something back here (for all the great information provided over the years especially considered); after deciding I really didn't want to have to unbolt and jack up the rear of the transmission each time I had to do this service, after a bit of messing around I rather miraculously discovered that with about 20-30 lbs of force at the end of an 18" breaker bar, wedged between the drivers side exhaust hanger (right behind the pan), and the adjacent flange on the trans mount, this provides literally JUST enough clearance to slide the pan out / forward. End of a standard breaker bar happens to nestle in this space perfectly to note, though you could use any other pry bar that fits of course. Do not need to actually bend anything - just need to have the hanger flex down a bit while jiggling the pan forward. Hope this is helpful to folks; I sure was very happy to learn this one! Still had to drop the roll bar for oil cooler clearance, but that's really not that bad of job - bolts right back up again easily afterwards. Still miss my screw on filters and drain plugs naturally here folks this all being said....
Thanks for the video. I changed the filter and fluid today. Had a hard time with the stud bolts near the exhaust, but everything went well.
"The 6R80 transmission is too hard to service."
Ford: "I'll fucking make it harder!"
Mechanics: “I can’t sell a $300 transmission service.”
Cheap owners: “I don’t need it the fluid is lifetime.”
Ford: “We got new cars for sale!”
Merry Christmas to you and your family Brian
This is the best video in my opinion that you have put out. My 18 f150 has 93k and it’s time for the first trans service. Great info. Thank you. 😊
Great video. Your videos have helped other repairs and servicing go easier.
Brian, this video is a masterclass in transmission maintenance. Thank you for your time and eye for detail in creating such an instructional video.
Really glad I went with the 3.3L 2018. Loving the 6 speed, did a pan drop a month ago, much simpler. Thanks a lot for all the videos you do Brian, You're a lifesaver.
@Greg B Ya, well I was kind of lucky on my timing. I bought my 2018 "new" in March of 2019, it had been sitting on the dealers lot quite awhile. I did quite a bit of homework on all the Ford engines, so I became aware of the 5.0L issues. Lucky for me cause the previous generation 5.0L with the 6 speed tranny is a good solid setup, so I had been considering it till I found out about it's problems.
Cope
Nice you can get 2018 and up models with the 6 speed?
Edit: had to Google it. The 6 speed is only available on the 3.3.
Another great video! Intro volume was nicely matched to the rest of the video, thanks!
Always great to watch Brian do it right! 👍🏻💪🏼
First to comment and first view my life's complete. Love your content very helpful with repairs keep up the good content and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
I was just at a ford dealership getting an oil change and I asked what the fluid change interval is for the 10r80 and they said they don't recommend fluid changes. I am so glad I looked more Into it because I will be following the recommended mileage in the video. Thanks again for the great info.
They rather sell a new transmission or a new truck than have service intervals prolong the life of a vehicle.
Thanks for the help!!! It’s so nice to refer to a pro I appreciate all your Ford videos. Glad I bought the 17 3.5 tt lol!
I own a Tundra but enjoy these videos, very detailed. Thanks.
Thanks for making these videos so I can learn more about the F150 I own (and teaching me I have no business trying to fix it). Man, the simplicity of Toyota is making more and more sense to me even if its less MPG and less power. I don't think I'd want to own the complexity of a new F150 for more than say 40K-50K miles.
I just did a fluid flush and filter change on a 4R75 in an E-series. Piece of cake compared to this truck. Nothing in the way at all. I like to pull off the cooler return line up at the radiator first, start the engine and let it pump out most of the fluid into a bucket. As soon as the fluid starts sputtering, shut off the engine so the pump doesn’t run dry. The pan comes off without a waterfall and flood of fluid. Clean it, change the filter, put the pan back on and dump in five quarts or so of fluid. Leave the cooler line disconnected, start the engine and run it through the gears as it pumps the old fluid into the bucket. Repeat this flush procedure a couple times until the fluid is coming out clean. Hook up the cooler line, top off the fluid and it’s perfect. Really gets it flushed out if you don’t have a machine that connects into the cooler lines. The only downside on an E-Series is the long dipstick tube smears full of fluid when adding, so it has to sit awhile to drain down and get an accurate measurement. Nice work!
You did a transmission flush? I'm sry. I hope ur transmission does not go to crap.. watch video from scotty on u tube why you never do that..
There had been a long controversy about whether to flush or drain/fill. I have flushed fluid every 30k miles on all of my vehicles for many years to get the best fluid exchange. Knock on wood, but I’ve never had a problem, nor have I ever had a transmission failure. There are many automotive questions that are debatable - oil change intervals, proper vehicle storage, undercoating, maintenance schedules, hand wash vs. auto car wash...it goes on and on. Do whatever works for you.
BTW - This 4R75 transmission has 150k miles on it. I haul materials all the time with that van and tow a trailer on occasion. Still works great. Even if it crapped out tomorrow because of this flush procedure, it has served me well.
@@stevejohnson5837 I have the same transmission on my crow Victoria and I did a fluid flush at 400,000 miles and the transmission runs better then it did before.
@@1976axerhand I have the same transmission as him with 400k miles and I flushed it out and it’s running better then before.
Sir this was one of the best videos I have ever seen boy there is a bunch of stuff to remove to get the pan off but just take your time no big deal I have all the tools from being a cat diesel truck mechanic for 20 years thanks .
Wow! Awesome video!! Thanks for what you do saving some of us time, money and headaches! Keep up the great work!
God bless you and you are the best. Follower from Middle East.
Brian rocks out here in Chicago, USA. Ford trucks best of the best!! #Ecoboost #5.0LCoyote
@@davidklimmek3192 naw the new power wagon with the 6.4 Hemi kicks the Raptors ass
Good god. It’s so frustrating to see how complex the modern auto has become. I’d give anything for a five or six speed manual transmission to be readily available again. Thanks for such awesome content. Wish your shop was closer to NJ.
Such a helpful video!!! The icing on the cake is all that bonus info you listed, specially the dipstick chart info!! Thank you very much!
Just did mine on my 2018 mustang, went super smoothly with your guide 👍
Thanks Brian .
I would like to say that , instead of disconnecting battery terminal .
Instead remove starter relay , this will prevent accidental cranking. And you will not lose memory settings.
All newer vehicles use a starter relay .
Also great way to crank / turn crankshaft without power too coils and fuel injectors . To perform compression test etc .
@Inverse Universe Actually Ford has a failsafe, the remote start won't function if the hood is open. So as long as you don't fully close the hood, you don't have to worry about accidental remote starts.
This is the most comprehensive transmission service that I have seen in a long time. You even provide torque values for all fasteners. Anyone with a little experience can handle this job themselves. Well done my friend Thanks. Brian should you lubricate the new seals or install them dry?
Thank you very much for this video. I will be performing this service myself this week.
Thank you for doing this most excellent video... and many others! . And thanks for listing the trans seal part numbers! Made it easy to get it right. Love you work.
this is an excellent video. If you endeavor to take this on, follow Brian’s very detailed instructions. Just did this on my 2018 5.0 F150 at 38k miles, and glad I did. Not sure that the 10R80 trans and Gen III Coyote is the best that Ford has put out, so a little preventative maintenance gave me a lot of peace of mind. As someone who enjoys working on cars, I will say this is a tall order for even the well experienced and well tooled DIY mechanic. Definitely doable, but a full afternoon of bloody knuckles and greasy transmission fluid (no matter how neat you try to be). The biggest pain for me was jacking the transmission in order to get enough clearance to remove the pan, and dialing in the fluid levels at the end next to a very hot catalytic converter.
Did you end up lifting the truck or just crawled underneath? If that damn thing had a drain bolt it would be so much cleaner!
@@michalp2362 I don’t have a lift, unfortunately… I do have some beefy 22-ton jackstands which helped give me a little more room. Got as much fluid out as I could with a vacuum pump, but it was still a messy job.
Thank you for sharing this info.
This helped out tremendously on what to expect as a diy. Thanks!
Thank you for all the videos. They are very helpful. I just like to watch and learn even if I’m not working on that vehicle. My favorite ones are for the ecoboost trucks since that’s what I have.
Another product designed with the technician in mind ! And the engineers were mad at them !
Love this channel. Have any plans for videos on the 2020 Explorer ST?
Excellent video and review of the steps. Thanks for the great work.
Just completed mine last night after it went into limp mode in a busy intersection with my rig being towed behind. The fluid looked pretty thin when I drained it (about 5 quarts from the pan) I hope this cures my shifting issues. Thanks for the great tutorial buddy..it saved me a headache. I'm about to continue and fill and test the levels now.
2018 v8 5.0L
This channel is the reason I decided to buy a very low miles 14' F150 instead of the new stuff. My 14' has the 5.0 and 6r80 which I believe is the best combo for work. Both, trans and engine have metal pans and the body is the last year for actual steel. Cherry on top is that it runs on E85 and regular. Corn fuel is $2.29/gal and 87 octane is $3.99/gal as of today.
My 2013 has aluminum doors. Just dent them and see
The new f150s also can use e85
Thank you so much for this! I like to try to do as much maintenance myself as I possibly can to save money and also so I can be certain it’s done close to perfection as possible and not have a mechanic try to F me over since I’m a girl
I do most of my service due to the fact that I worked in a dealership with a Collision Center where I was a painter.
I know for a fact that some (not all)
Don’t do everything they should when a vehicle is in for service.
Example- Caravan tune up, rear plug’s almost never get changed cause it’s extremely difficult to change them out.
There isn’t a wrench or socket that gets in where you need it.
I struggled for a few hours one Saturday in the shop, on a hoist.
Monday morning I talk to a few mechanics and asked them how in the hell do they do it, the 3 I asked said they don’t even try cause it’s so difficult!
It’s crucial they do cause at 100klm the rust into the head and are extremely difficult to remove without pulling the motor.
In a nut shell, I don’t trust most mechanics!
Very thorough job. Excellent work keep the videos coming you’re fantastic. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Awesome job! Thanks for taking the time to make this video!
Plastic transmission pan without a drain plug. Check
Dipstick you can only seem to access while underneath the car next to a hot catalytic converter. Check
Extremely Complex design requiring eight quarts of extremely toxic expensive fluid. Check
Hahaha yes this is great! 😆
Designed for unservicability. Ford.
You all don't think GM and the rest don't do this? I think GM was one of the first to remove the normal dipstick on the tranny.
@@NY411Info nope. I service them all and so far haven’t seen a GM without a dipstick. At least not in the last 35 years.
@@452Rob have you never worked on a Cadillac CTS? i do very few GM's but this one came in and had no conventional dipstick.
I bought a 2017 F150 a little over a year ago. The truck has a 6R 80 and just passed 30K miles. I did a drain and fill and added Dormant pan with a drain plug to make it easier in the futer. The trans. shifts like butter. I thought I would have liked to have had a 10 speed trans. but now think I doged a bullet!
I installed the doorman pan too, it works great.
I had a 2017 10 speed it was amazing,behind the 3.5L engine, what a great towing combination .Dealer offered me too much for it so now I have a 2020 3.5 w. a 10 speed and it too is a beast.
I’ve been waiting for this video. Thank a lot Makuloco
Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
Phenomenal step by step instructions. Ugh, took me 1.5 days to change my trans fluid on my 2018 5.0 V8 F150 but survived thanks to this detailed video!
Thank you
so glade I don't know too many people the own Fords.
Because of this video the only man who knew how to change fluid was me...and I work at oil change service,from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 thanks bro.
It Is very funny to say,it took about 2 hours to make job done and $150 was the price...
This was a great tutorial and extremely helpful. Thank you.
Ford: go ahead, service your own vehicle, I dare you.
And the Ford dealer wants to know why I won't trade in my 2002 F250...... The most difficult thing I have had to do so far on it, (Not done yet), change out the crappy roof corner trim pieces on top of the cab. I simply haven't had to do anything tough on this truck yet!! I take that back. Passenger side front shock top nut. That was a PITA.... Oh yeah, I still have not changed out the original spark plugs... V-10, don'cha know...
Yupp makes sense just buy a new one, simple!
@@SteveP-vm1uc I had a 2003 F-250 with the 6.0 diesel....my thought was "who's the whiz that put the fuel filter on the frame under the truck!" Was totally ridiculous compared to the 2001 7.3 I had before it.
Got this! Ford trucks for life.
Thank God I have the 3.0L Powerstroke! Way easier.
Makes me appreciate my Allison 1000 even more.
I think ford and Chevy partnered on this trans so the ten speed Chevys will probably be similar to this but I haven’t seen one yet so I don’t know🤷♂️
@@mitchheine6878 Only the duramax has the allison... Allison would never do foulish crap like this.
The new Alison 1000 is the same as the ford 10r140.
Internal parts are stamped with both gm and ford numbers.
Very comperhensive process. Thanks Brian. Merry Christmas !
Been waiting on this one, appreciate you sharing your experience
This is crazy! An Engineer got paid for this design? Is that a plastic trans pan? You would think they would create a flange on each side of the exhaust pipe to take it out so you can access the pan all the way. I bet you this is a $800 job. Thanks for the video.
LOL,,,,I have a 2017 Raptor 3.5 twin turbo Ford and mine is so easy to do it is no more difficult than a regular oil change.
Ask Brian what he would charge in man hours?
Big thanks for all these videos! QUESTION: I have a 2019 Raptor at 32K miles. I would like to just do a fluid exchange on my own then do the pan drop/filter at 60K; would it be worthwhile to extract the old fluid out, without dropping the pan and re-fill rather than dropping the pan? Thanks!
A fun one. In this galaxy I have a totally different definition of fun. In addition, ATF in your armpit and in your hair has a negative grin factor.
On a serious note, your videos are really comprehensive, logic and exceptionally well done.
I’ve been waiting for this one!
Another great video from Brian...But most frustrating how-to "oil/fluid change" I've seen yet...Don't have a $3K two post lift? Save your sanity.
What a legend! My '18 150 just hit 30k miles too. Thank you so much for posting this video. Do you know if anyone makes an aftermarket aluminum transmission pan with a drain plug for these transmissions yet?
Don’t know if you got an answer but the mustang has a couple metal pans available. As for drain plugs, the composite pan and plastic plug work very well. I’ve seen a few people think a metal version of the plastic plug is better… it’s not. Mixing metal and “composite” (fancy plastic) causes issues due to conflicting expansion rates. You’ll see that metal plug fire off and you’ll oil down the road.
As always fantastic information Brian & Merry Christmas to you & your Family!
Thanks Brian! 7.5 quarts for my fill. Drained it for days!
I was going to ask you make this video!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to see this for the 2020 F250 7.3!
Crawl under it & take a look,your welcome.
@@charleshenson4183 Hahahahahahahaa...
@@charleshenson4183 is this supposed to be some kind of a hint?
i have the same truck year and engine combo. 25k miles and planned on doing it at 50k but looks like ill do it at 30k but ill change filter while im at it. great video thank you
Thanks for posting. I know this took you way longer to do it and post for us, but it sure helps.
I'm half way thru so far and all I keep thinking is: "I'm glad I'm planning to keep my 5.4l 3v and 6R80 running forever."
ZF designed transmission is probably one of the best Ford ever used. My 5.4 4R75 is ok, at the times I feel like it doesn't have enough range for torque putting out by 5.4 3V.
I have the ZF 6 speed manual in my F-250, that's just removing the fill plug, pulling the drain plug, waiting for 30 seconds, reverse that but add ATF before putting the fill plug back in. Everything is wide open under there and easy to service--another reason it's a shame nobody builds a truck with a proper transmission anymore.
@@craigg4246 I disagree. I've never have any issues replacing spark plugs in my 2010 model year 5.4 3V (The spark plug problem was fixed by then). Good point for earlier ones though.
A simple job made 10 times more complex.
Why it pays to be a Ford tech!

If this damn thing only had a drain bolt!

Most excellent video. Very well done and calmly thorough. Thank you. '21 Ranger 4x4 supercab
Love your channel. dude its great to have a knowledgeable fellow ford tech on youtube Merry Christmas! Makuloco
Great video, Thanks for sharing. What do you think about using a fluid extractor thru the fill plug before dropping the pan? May eliminate the spill mess?
That's what I normally do. My 03 Durango and my 06 F150 were done here at home thru dipstick tube with fluid extractor from harbor freight. Made the job a snap. My 2011 with the 6r80 has no dipstick tube, just the fill port/joke dipstick, so I take it straight to Brian for this.
I’m glad I have my 4R70W lol
Great video! It saved my bacon on the 2018 Lincoln Navigator.
First time here on your channel. I found it on facebook. Ford Coyote F150 5.0. I own a 19 RCSB FX4 5.0. Ill be doing the first service at the dealership on my trans when she hits 30k miles. And when it runs out of warranty ill see your video again . Great video! I just subscribed.
This video makes my 2019 5.7 tundra feel like a dinosaur, fill plug, drain plug, level check plug and metal pan.
That dinosaur will probably run to 500000 miles without any problems other than a huge gas bill.
Yep, that's why my next truck will be a Tundra
for the gas you are wasting in the Toyota gas hog, you can easily pay for the service several times over. Abysmal gas hog
Merry Christmas Brian to you and your Family!!
I can see a LOT of these 10 Speeds coming in for EARLY overhaul - because much of the buying public is not going to want to pay the HIGH cost and complexity just to do a basic Service! 😖
Probably Ford's intention.
All the more important for me to keep both my '95 E4OD and '02 4R100 vehicles "squared-away" and on the road! ...gotta ❤️ the notion of the KISS-principle!
Great video as usual. Im glad I have a 2017 with the six speed.
oh my god as a Lexus (fancy Toyota) technician this hurts my brain to watch!! Our transmission pans have a drain plug and the pans are always easy to get too and never anything around them, just drain, and remove the pan bolts and boom the pan is out. Bless you domestic technicians I could never deal with the stupid designs of modern domestics
plastic engineers really know how to build short lived toys 😉
Domestic Design today means make it last until the warranty runs out.
And out of the 800,000 f150’s sold, about 30 will follow these drain/service intervals because ford says it’s a lifetime fluid 😂
Because it's the lifetime of the fluid. So it is lifetime fluid.
No it doesn't. Clearly states service intervals in the owners manual
If I’m not mistaken, Ford built that many 2018 F-150’s alone. (I thought I read the number was 917,000)
This vid was perfect, i was looking for the dipstick part primarily, cause no other vids showed it, so 10 out of 10 in my book.
Thank you so much for this video! Very very helpful and detailed! God bless you Sir!
