I got a couple questions about a 94 Ford Thunderbird 4.6 and a 98 Ford F150 4.6
Fordtechmakuloco, what about the models that don’t have a dipstick? Fluid change is straightforward, but curious about how to confirm correct fluid level without a dipstick. 2014 Ford Edge Limited, 2.0L ecoboost, 2wd
Having issue with a 2011 ford ranger.
Transmission slips when making a turn after straightening up and de acceleration will correct itself. ATF flruid topped off any idea?
I have a 2018 Ford Explorer Limited. 3.5L V-6 Dertec Engine FWD. Is this the procedure I use for this transmission DIY job?
Hi my name is Mark I have a 2010 Ford Fusion V6 all-wheel drive and the transmission will not shift pass 3rd gear what is your suggestion for this problem
These videos are such a lifesaver. You are the man.
Tyler seriously. So awesome
Since 2014, after watching one of the precious videos, I kept an eye to the fluid change interval, my two Ford Escapes have been running great, no such issues as reported by many others. (Engine oil, Transmission fluid, PTO and Rear Diff gear oils, the coolant really last long).
You're the man! I've spent the last few days watching your videos after buying a 2018 edge. I'm a car nut and your videos are very detailed and very well executed. Thanks for helping everyone keep their cars running worry free for years to come!
I agree with your shorter than recommended fluid change intervals. More maintenance means less repairs.
Same goes for Engine Oil changes, 7500 to 10000 is dirty oil running too long
@@TheSaintshockey03 I've always done my oil changes every 5k miles up until the last couple of years. I might drive 5-6k miles/year now, so I just change my oil every 6 months. It ends up being every 2.5-3k miles, which might be a little overkill, but I like keeping things on a nice schedule
Tom Peterson I have 205k miles on my 2008 Ford Edge fwd no issues at all. I’ve only changed the fluid twice. I don’t want to change it again because it’s still has some pink in it and I don’t want to mess anything up at this mileage. Might help that the car has the tow package so it has a bigger tranny cooler.
Can’t thank you enough for your videos! Between this one and your PTU fluid change videos, I’ve saved hundreds of $$$ on my Ford Explorer services. Keep up the awesome work!
Just did my 2018 Explorer Platinum. Took 4 3/4 quarts of Mercon LV. Very easy to do, followed your instructions and all went well. 39030 miles on the truck. I will be doing this maintenance going forward and also on my 2019 SHO at 30000 miles. Thanks for the procedure 👍
I’ve had a 3.5L Explorer for 100k miles, and I never knew it had an engine bay Transmission fill! Looked under the enormous air box and there it is! I’ll change it now. My wife drives like a grandma, so hopefully it’s in good shape still.
I thank god your channel exists, thank you !
Wow. I was just looking at this video to see how much fluid it actually held but I ended up with way more info than that!
This was super informative, I learned a ton. Thanks so much!
I had a 09 Taurus with one of these, 185k miles before I traded it in. Super happy with it.
Thank you Brian. Good job. Have a blessed and safe week.
Thank You! I'm glad you explain how that fluid expands when it gets warm. I changed mine and before the 15 minute test drive I ended filling it up by accident halfway between min and full. I was worried after the test drive that when I checked it for final reading that it would be over max, but I got luck it was right at the max line so I am good with that.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You have saved my wife and I thousands in repairs!
I love your channel it helps me greatly (08 Edge 225k) (10 MKT 263k) (13 Taurus sho 115k) (16 Explorer 60k) (13 f150 68k) as you can see my family depends on your channel to keep our vehicles running forever.
Just changed the Mercon LV in my 2011 new to me edge. Thank you for this video and the tips on refill. The previous owner hadn't changed it and there was 103,000 miles on it. I will likely do a 3X flush and your guidance has helped. Thanks!
How does the vehicle feel after having changed it? I have a 2011 106,000 miles
I totally agree with changing the ATF earlier than recommended intervals. Great video. Keep up the great work
Thank you so much for this. I just did my first transmission drain and fill on my 2013 AWD Ford Flex. It has 76k miles and hadnt had a transmission change yet. I’ll make sure to be more proactive with it. Perfect directions. It’s a pain to get to that fill cap!
Did this for my 2013 lincoln mks ecoboost 3.5l TT. I appreciate the walk through, quick and simple!
As always thanks for the comprehensive video.
As always great video. I don't own these car but still watch it.
Thanks to you, I changed the transmission fluid and PTU fluid today on my '17 Edge with 35K miles. Very glad I did it, since the trans fluid looked more like it had 100k miles on it, and the magnetic fill plug on the PTU had a significant amount of metal shavings and sludge, which I'm hoping is just break-in wear. You saved me hundreds of dollars today, and I'm sure thousands in the future... you are very correct that the fluid change intervals in the manuals are not nearly often enough. Thanks!!
This was a very informative video on how to check, change & add fluid to the ford edge! Thank you for a very well done video!
Great tips as always thanks Brian!
Thanks for the example! Just completed this procedure on my 2014 flex
Easier procedure than I thought. Thanks for the video.
Heh I was worried about the dip stick being dirty but you cleaned it off too. I love the attention to detail on your videos. I don't even have a car with this transmission but I watched the whole thing!
This guys is just one heck of a mechanic! Wish he was available in Houston
My 09 Taurus had this, just as easy as a regular oil change and with some ATP full synthetic atf it kept the car shifting nice n smooth.
TNX for taking the time to create this video sir!
Not a Ford guy but I really like this channel
Does good work and is a good teacher, explains things concisely. Morons like myself tend to lose our train of thought easy. Lol
Excellent video as always!
That helps! I've been struggling to get my fluid level correct on my 2013 Edge because I didn't know about the arrow trick and didn't realize that LV expands so much. I always overfill it and then have to suck some out. Thanks!!!
Best how to I have seen for these transmissions. I going to have to buy a shirt just to say thanks.
Excellent info. I need to do this with my '17 Edge with 42K.
Thanks, as always great videos....
this was very informative as usual thanks Sir
Just took my explorer to the shop. Wished I knew about this before, hope my problems aren’t related to the transmission....Or my problem caused transmission damage. Hope to find out this coming week. Love your videos brother. Being a “Ford guy” really makes a difference, knowledge and professionalism, damn rare these days. I thank you.
Kenny, how did you make out? What were your symptoms and what was the outcome if you don't mind sharing? Thanks
@@mygt8a4re eventually it just locked up wouldn’t roll forward or reverse. Not knowing anything about fwd or awd vehicles I took it to the shop and wound up replacing the transmission. Been good ever since. Hope that helps. Explorer had about 147k miles.
@Kenny Dixson Sorry to hear you needed to replace the trans, glad you got it fixed and having great success with it now! For me I'm just learning a much as I can so I can maintain my edge the best possible. Thanks for your input!
Good note about changing regularly. Especially with a non serviceable filter. Shame on Ford for not allowing self maintenance. Also good to see that the process isn’t as intimidating as it looks. Thanks again I will probably have to review this again in about another 17.5 K when I get 30K miles.
The transmission holds 12 quarts, so replacing 4.5 quarts is just a modest refreshing of the fluid. I did the procedure three times in a row, pretty much all you can do as an average owner. I have some peace of mind now...
Frankly, the worst surprise for me was the oil I sucked out of the PTU. Basically black tar. It contaminated the new oil so badly that I changed it again after 50 miles, as I had the curiosity to see how it looks like.
Same! My PTU fluid was black tar at 47k miles (just bought it used). Great idea to change it again very soon.
@@parkerrogers2277 : I plan to change PTU lube regularly every 15-20K miles.
This is my question, I have a 2013 Taurus and it lists a capacity of around 11 quarts.
@@av8rgrip Same my explorer book says it takes 11.6 quarts which is the same as this guy in the video is changing but he only puts 5.5? never done a trans change before and definitely want to but don't want to F it up.... guess ill just go by the dipstick but whys the book say differently
@@CJ_412_that’s the total amount it carry’s, you’ll have to drain and fill it bout 3 times to fully replace it. They about 50-100miles between drain and fills
Your videos are great man. Thanks a bunch
Awesome video as usual!
Interesting that GM and Ford both jointly cooperated and committed to investing finances in supporting this 6 speed transaxle, which also includes the 6F35.
I thought the gm/ford joint transmission was the 10speed not the 6 speed.??
Didnt realize this was simple...thanks
Thank you so much for your video, so far it's the best and easy to understand I'm really appreciated your videos I hope this help you a little be, blessings
Outstanding video!!! my flex is getting closer to 30k.
Great job as always, thanks!
Your videos are awesome!!
He is back 😁
Mine was changed 10km ago. I was about to change it myself on the weekend but when I pulled the plug out it was still lovely and clear. I was shocked but happy😆
Thats one of the things that throws folks off about ATF: unless it over heats/gets contaiminated from mechanical damage, it wont change colors very much as it wears out. Folks are used to seeing engine oil that goes in golden and comes out black. Engine oil changes colors due to combustion containments which aren't present in a auto trans. If your trans fluid is anything different than a bright to dull cherry red, its indicative that the trans has suffered overheating or mechanical damage.
Just like those late 90’s and early 00’s Honda’s. Lol the more things change the more then stay the same. Cool, just a drain and fill. Thanks for the tip about refilling the case. Slow and easy.
You are a life saver! Thank you for this video! Is there a ATF filter in these Explorers too that require a replacement?
Best videos. Thanks.
The video is good and I benefited a lot from it. I have a 2018 Ford Explorer. I would like to know how to change the gearbox filter
Looking for more F150 videos. Just took delivery on my new F150 4x4 Supercrew. Loving it. And that new smell is better than viagra.
Im a firm believer in changing trans fluid before it gets dirty! I once worked at a cab industry in the mid 90s! We would change in 30k intervals, these ol school then can see over 300k with simple fluid changes!
Another great video.
Thanks. Info on the internal oil filter seems to be the same on my 8F35. It has 2 internal filters.
I wonder if this guys really understand how much help he is to us ford owners...
nah man that oil is good for the life of the car
(transmission fails ending the cars life)
But Ford, whats the life of the car?? "well little Johnny when the warranty runs out" when does the warranty run out? "at the end of the life of the vehicle little Johnny, then you must buy a new one" i think powertrain warranty was 75k? So thats it. Stop driving the car past 75k, its EOL
Hello. Thank you for your help. You’re an asset to the ford community! I have a second gen CX-9, 2019 to be exact, and the torque converter locks up almost instantly (I think over 7 mph). It’s great for that direct feel, less heat build up and better gas mileage. Do you happen to know when the 6F55 torque converter locks up?
Love the videos, have used them many times to learn or have confidence and best practices. Great variety of content and easy to watch and learn. Any chance we see a 10speed f150 transmission fluid and filter change? Thanks for your channel
very soon
Great Videos! I have the '15 Sport with the 2.7 and it's a bit different. You have to remove the two screws retaining air intake, pull the air box up from the retainers and twist slightly. The flex intake hoses stay attached. Then you can check fluid when running. It's Really tight, cap almost impossible to see let alone twist and have to pull it between hoses. Smaller hands a plus. I managed with two fused wrists so it can be done. Just adding fluid? Remove the whole airbox, but Ford says don't run with it disconnected.
Thanks for all the great advice on maintaining my vehicle. Can you tell me if you have done a video on rear differential oil change on a 2014 Ford Escape. there is not much room to get in there, just wondering if you had any ideas. Thanks again, Ken
Godbless you and thank you .
I just watched this video and changed the trans oil on my Lincoln MKS ecoboost. Will change it every 40k miles from now on.
I enjoy the content this channel provides. I even watch the videos for cars I’ll probably never own....but I have one request. More Panther platform videos. It would be nice to see an actual Ford Tech working on something as old school as a Crown Victoria.
Just did this yesterday
Good video fordtech
Very helpful. Thank you
Thank You
Thank you for excellent video content! I did a 6f55 transmission on a 2016 Ford Edge Sport 2.7L yesterday and accidently over filled. With thread sealant already applied to the drain bolt, I removed it to remove 0.5qts and reinserted the drain bolt. Do you think the thread sealant will still hold? Also, is there a better way to remove trans fluid if overfilled in the future? I still haven't quite figured out how to get the air cleaner box to sit properly back in too.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
I didn’t change my transmission oil for 70k but when I did it helped out a lot I will start doing it sooner
Your the best thx a million!
You video's are the best!! Everything explained simply. By any chance, did you have one for a 2016 Fusion AWD? Thank you!!
I agree to a lot of your subscribers, you are a life saver. I've repaired few of mine and friends cars watching your video and cars are still running great today after many years. Anyways, I know you mentioned there's no tranny pan on this 6F50 tranny and that it's hard to take the internal filter out. Does that mean no need to replace the filter forever? I just bought 232K 2013 Taurus and I want to replace the tranny filter ($28.49). Should I add an external/remote filter just to be safe? I'm on planning on driving this car till I can't drive it no more.
Great video.
Very well done
Thank you for the video. My local mechanic told me they had to flush the fluid with their Snap On machine and cost me quite a bit to do. Looks like I can do it myself cheaper and easier on my 2011 Edge. Do you recommend any additives in the fluid? My Edge has 135,000 miles and fluid has only been changed once.
I just got done changing my tranny fluid by using your "tutorial" I screwed up twice but the third time was the charm. All I can say is tight spaces suck.
Great channel and videos, learning quite a bit here. I do have a quick question was hoping you or a viewer may be familiar with. I have the 6F50 in my 2015 FPIS Taurus that I bought recently. There is a little bit of a hum right before the 4-5 shift, and the 5-6 gear shift, only when I'm gently on it and the RPM is low, like below 2k. Everything else is normal and performance seems perfect. I have a warranty but just curious, I read in a group that it was common but concerns me.
Thank you
Had mine in a 2008 taurus with approx. 112K changed when the input and output sensors were causing issues. Started shifting poorly recently and was cause by low fluid due to cooler leak. Cooler is attached to AC condenser so abandoned it and put in aftermarket tranny cooler. Shifting well now. Might do this sometime in the next couple of years.
What do you think of Jiff Lunes reverse flow change? Supposed to help get junk out of filter, but makes me wonder where the just goes! Seem like that might be a bad idea.
Good tips
Great video
Yo! Your vids are so helpful. We recently picked up a 2018 platinum explorer and it now has 40k miles. Just did the PTU oil change and transmission fluid. Our transmission has a dipstick and I didn't see a level plug on the side through the fender well. I did see another one pointed straight down, at a higher level and to the side of the drain. Is that plug for setting the level? Or just using the dipstick good enough? That's what I did for now.
Hey, I’ve got an 03, expedition rotted rockers of course, any suggestions for replacing them with slip on style patch panels? The inner rockets don’t seem to be too bad
Thanks!!
great video do you have a ford maintenance schedule for ford explorer 2013 v6 3,5 and ford f-150 2013 ecobo0ster 3.5 110k basically your maintenance recommendations are quite different from manufactures
very good video
I figured I could come to your most recent video to ask this question...
I have a 2006 F150 extended cab. I had a power steering fluid leak. It was leaking pretty bad. It was a line that needed to be fixed and it is fixed now. No more leaking. There is a whine but after watching your video about it not being the pump and being a pully I am pretty sure that is what is making the whine. But now after fixing the power steering leak the actual reservoir is moving. The fluid is moving as well but only because the reservoir is moving. So what could that be?
Can you make a video for the 10R80
Do you have plans to release how to change the ptu fluid and to remove the ptu?
Great information makes my job alot easier got 240k on my Taurus x gonna keep it a little longer
Just like my honda crv transmission fluid exchange!
Any thoughts on adding an external spin on filter? Thanks.
Love those videos!! In 2011 ford escapes AWD its necesary to change the PTU fluid? How often?
Thanks for sharing! : )
What's your thoughts on changing trans fluid after 120k? I do keep up w/ oil changes. Trans scare me. :( It still runs/shifts fine. I want to squeeze as much life out of it as possible. Some say don't change it this late, but that seems dumb. 2013 Explorer v6 NA. And thank you for all the videos - they have been a great help!
How to open Kerbox automatic for Ford Explorer 2013. Please do a video in this regard
What is the mileage interval for 2015 Edge Sport trans. Also should I do the BG machine exchange or just a drain and fill?
