Ford Recommend 100,000 Mile Service. I Recommend 30,000-50,000 Mile Service. Stay On Top Of It@dairleautoclassicrestorati6892 #transmission#fordtransit#autorepair
Companies tell lies about transmission fluid changes. Like “lifetime” fluids or what you just saw, every 100,000 miles. I change my fluid every 30,000 miles no matter what.
Dairle you are da MAN! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I need to do this to my 2019 t-250 this weekend. A year from when you posted this video. The full mark allows for the fluid's expansion. Am I right sir?
There is the way to drop transmission pan on these. To increase clearance you just need to raise transmission (2 nuts holding it) with the engine (2 more nuts). The clerance will allow you to do whole transmission service, change filter, etc.
it's worth the 300$ at the dealer to have them flush the entire 13 qts while running/pumping new fluid in. this just gets 2 qts. i'm doing my 2022 t250 every 40k mi. 300$ a year. i'm living in mine full time and trying to go 500k mi in her.
I just baought a 2018 transit van and was looking long and hard for the transmission dip stick. I decide to check youtube. and found your video. thank you. I also want to replace the tranny filter, do i need to remove the subframe?
Hello, A Gentleman gave a very helpful comment a few days ago. please read below what he said. There is the way to drop transmission pan on these.

As soon as I lift the dipstick out I got transmission fluid pouring out and I got that corner of the truck jacked up a little bit so you would think that the fluid should be a touch lower at the dipstick area. Is my transmission overfilled or something?
@MindsEyeVisualGuitarMethods That's a good question. There is a mechanic friend of mines that believe in running the Engine while he is adding or checking fluid in the Transits. I feel that if you do that, fluid will pour out on the next guy. If just a little bit came out. I would not worry too much about the level.
@MikeReszke Yes Sir! In most cases that is what you do. But I have found in this case after serving about (10 - 18) of these Transits. Checking with engine not running the fluid is right on the full mark.
13.1 quarts is a full transmission service that is done by the Dealer or a Shop with the Transmission Service Equipment. The service that I did was mainly replacing what is in the Transmission Pan. That's why I mention you can run the Engine and repeat the procedure a few more times. It still will not be a 100%. But it is better than not serving it at all. Thanks
@@dairleautoclassicrestorati6892 WOW! that was fast, you're the man. But doesn't it just keep mixing together, that would take a long time. Soome one told me they do it with a machine and it can blow depries out from the corners and cause more damage. OR do they pull the pan to do it? I would like to get it all new, I was wanting to use AMSOIL SIGNATURE SERIES FUEL-EFFICIENT 100% SYNTHETIC AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID. what do you recomend. I used to do this on my EVan but it has a cooler and you could disconnect that and get more out without dropping the pan.
@hankwaddell998 I would recommend using the Motorcraft Transmission Fluid that it came with if you are going to do it yourself like in the video. I believe the cost is around $250-$300 at the Dealer for a FULL Fluid removal. I don't believe that they drop the pan. I could be mistaken. And they only take about 30 mins. That is one option.
I drove ford E250 - 1st a new 1970, only 3 EVans until I bought my first Transit 250 in 2015. 2015 only made it to 115K miles before it was totaled. Now I have a 2018 T250. As I said before I want to change all the fluid in the transmission. I remember doing it my E Vans they all had a transmission cooler and to replace all the fluid I would connect a clear vinyl tube to the radiator / cooler end and use a clear gallon jug with a mark at the - in T250's = 3.5 quarts. Then run the van until 3.5 quarts came out. Then fill 3.5" quarts and repeat on T250 5 times. This would pretty much replace the fluid. So you think this method would work on the T Van.
Amazing videos. Thank you for your efforts. And God Bless you.
Wow, man, this was a fantastic video.
Loved the captions, etc. Great job.
Thank you very much!
Love your videos man, great music and commentary. Much love.
Good videos. Please post more about ford transits. Thank you
Thank you for the video. I got the same hand pump and it worked great.

Great help here! I missed the part about replacing the filter...is there a filter to replace?
There is a Filter. But you will have to drop the pan
Don’t you need engine running to circulate fluid while checking level?
@MikeReszke Yes Sir! In most cases that is what you do. But I have found in this case after serving about (10 - 18) of these Transits. Checking with engine not running the fluid is right on the full mark.
I looked up my my transmission it said 3.5 quarts initial fill and 13.1 quarts total fill. What does that mean? You only put 2.5 quarts?
