That info about the change intervals is just CRAZY. It doesn't say whether you pull a trailer ONCE or daily, just change it at 30,000 miles. Engineers have no clue about the real world.
Recently did this on my 2017 Edge with a 3.5l engine, so maybe the same setup. This gets about half the old fluid out, because the torque converter doesn't drain. I drove it around a couple of days then repeated the process. So I figure this gets about 75% of the old fluid out.
The Filter on these 6F35/50/55 Transmissions can NOT BE CHANGED with out removing the Transmission from the Vehicle. Draining and Re filling the Tranny at Minimum 20/30K Miles will Save you about $6/8K at the Dealer for a New Tranny. It's cheap Insurance. Same with Engine Oil / Filter Service. Every 5K Minimum, no matter what anyone say's.
Im rebuilding the same car and it has a transmission fluid leak, been wondering how to approach and fix it since it's so cramped in there, checking the screws one snapped off, i need to take all those plates apart and see how i can reseal everything
That’s a fact, what they do not tell you is these transmissions, have a non-serviceable filter, which means you cannot change it unless the transmission is pulled and taken apart so I recommend it being changed every third oil change or you will be replacing it. Just like the PTU fluid needs to be changed, every third oil change also as it is sandwiched between the turbo and the block and only holds a half gallon of gear oil.
I have 2021 Audi q8 and doing a transmission fluid change and the filter was shot and fluids low. Causing it to not go in reverse and jerk. I’ve been told that Audi needs to be reprogrammed 55k miles? I know it’s off topic but it seems like you are super knowledgeable
First of all I want to thank you for your comment! You are actually doing a service on a vehicle that I have not worked on before. I would contact a Audi Service Advisor or Service Manager to check on the proper procedure. I wish I could help.
@@dairleautoclassicrestorati6892 thanks. I ended up getting fluid changed and it was dark black and filter was dirty with thick gunk. Hoping fluid changed works today but so far looking like the transmission already has all the nasty stuff from the dirty fluid in it.
The symptoms that you are having . A magnet would not help. You are right, a magnet purpose is to catch metal debris. If a Unit has a magnet . It would normally be part of the Drain Plug. On Commercial Vehicles it's normally on the external Transmission Filter. I would have it checked out by a good dependable shop. It may just need a Valve Body Adjustment.
That sounds like something else maybe going on. First of all it will not hurt to change your Transmission Fluid. Not knowing the mileage on your vehicle. It maybe time for your regular Tuneup. Starting with change your Spark Plugs.
I have a 2013 explorer and I've been changing the transmission fluid myself but knowing that the filter is a time bomb makes me more and more irritated at the design of the transmission.
I was watching this to do my wife's car and it doesn't have a dipstick,it just has a cap. Don't know if why however the transmission has been replaced wonder if they put something different in. They evidently did a poor job from what I can tell
Very good video simple
nice job..
Absolutely loved this video. Very informative.

Nice video !
Thank you!
Got a 2017 2.3 and changed it at 45k miles. Let me tell you it’s still dark then but worth it!
Nice video, I just subscribed!😊

If it has a drain plug and dipstick every 15k is perfect.

Smart move 👍🏽
Hi thanks for the great video. When should the filter be changed? Thanks
On this year model. The best you can do is keep the Transmission Fluid Change. Ford made it difficult to change a Filter.
The Filter on these 6F35/50/55 Transmissions can NOT BE CHANGED with out removing the Transmission from the Vehicle. Draining and Re filling the Tranny at Minimum 20/30K Miles will Save you about $6/8K at the Dealer for a New Tranny. It's cheap Insurance. Same with Engine Oil / Filter Service.

Better change it sooner than what the "manual" says these thing are known to breakdown

if the transmission is shifting a bit rough (but only now and then), is it worth putting a magnet in the fluid to see if there is any debris?

Good video, is this the 3.5L V6? Thanks.
Yes
@@dairleautoclassicrestorati6892 thanks for the reply!
Do you think this will help mines?My explore runs rough when I come to a stop while in drive or reverse some times shakes🤔

@@dairleautoclassicrestorati6892 thanks for the advice I currently have 75k miles
What can you do if you overfilled the transmission? I'd hate to take the drain plug out again after taking so much time to carefully install it.
It maybe earlier to drain out some Fluid. Rather than trying to suck it out and taking a chance of dropping something inside.
@@dairleautoclassicrestorati6892 yeah, you're totally right, thanks for the quick response, kind of make it feels like I"m right there with you.
Any transmission filter to change out by chance?
No Sir

My 2017 FE Limited doesn't have a transmission fluid dipstick. What now?
@kovacrea2457 give the last eight of your VIn# to your local Ford Dealer Parts Department. If that do not hove one. Get the part number.
Please help! Where is the throttle body located 2017 xlt model
It is located at the rear of the motor, next to the firewall.
Is there a filter that can be changed?
I'm afraid not.
Is there a transmission filter to replace?
@brandonsanders3095 It has a Transmission Filter. But you would have the disassemble the Transmission to get to it which is unbelievable.
Would really low to almost no transmission fluid cause jerks and sometimes no reverse
Yes Sir, it's very possible.
I was watching this to do my wife's car and it doesn't have a dipstick,it just has a cap. Don't know if why however the transmission has been replaced wonder if they put something different in. They evidently did a poor job from what I can tell
Interesting,
You may want to purchase a dipstick from your local Ford Dealer. Least that way you will know if the Fluid level is correct or not.
How many quarts
6 quarts
I do not have a dipstick
Mines don't either what do we do
