I had to change my transmission fluid this weekend. This is not a flush, just a drain and refill. If you found this video helpful or would like help fund future experiments. please donate below.

I agree with you: 150k interval is planned obsoletion by mfr. well at least they put a drain plug there and made this as easy as an oil change. Great video!
In case anyone need this info, the torque specs of the drain plug are:
106 in/lbs for four cylinder models (tranny model 6F35)
80 in/lbs for V6 models (tranny model 6F50)
I just did this to my SUV and wow. Huge difference. Drives perfect now. Respect
212.000 miles and keep going .I do partial transmission fluid change so get oil extractor pump and one line from the dipstick and the other to the bucket. Get 4 quarts out and put 4 in .I change my transmissions fluid every 10.000 miles or 3 months. Having a lot of miles on the car the fresh oil keeps the transmission happy. Another thing to do is to change the filter on the transmission but keeping the fresh fluid it does the job.
There's no trans Filter on most of these Edges or Mkx models.. there's like 5 or Solenoids for shifting
So I can do this. Thanks for your comment I just ordered an oil extractor.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I called Mr Transmission for a quote on flushing my transmission, $205.00 + tax here in Canada. They told me that they never do a complete flush and that they only do a fluid change just like you did. I asked why not a complete flush and they said they won't do it cause it may start slipping and they will not be responsible. Ford recommends to just change the fluid.. I will be changing the transmission fluid on my 2009 MKX 93,000 kilometers this week. Thanks again....Canada.
Change tranny fluid every 50k mis max & transfer case PTU gear oil (if AWD ) every 30-40k.
Thank you Thank you Thank you, I had a hard time looking for my drain plug on my 2009 Lincoln mks the drain plug is in the same place as mine now I can do a fluid change with no worries, I have no Teflon tape but my local hardware store should have some Thanks a bunch you saved me a headache.
When you add the fluid back from the top pour in real slow . Mine Burped on me and some came out the top.
I changed a 2016 the other day it was pitch black. Shifting funny after it was done she was fine .
Good info I’ve got a 2011 Taurus LTD same trans I couldn’t find any info on those two plugs you identified as drains I was reluctant to turn them until I was certain that’s what they were. I was scared if it was a drum adjuster I’d have it all out of wack if I heard a clunk on the inside; good to know my fluid has been changed once it’s not burnt but it’s dark and I don’t like that.
Don’t use Teflon tape, especially on a tapered bolt.
I hate the idea that you can't change the filter without pulling the transmission. Filter is very important.
bout to change my 2015 tonight, 90 k miles bought at 75k, no idea if it has ever been changed. why did they make changing the filter so hard?
Good job on this vid, thanks. Black fluid at 50K? Mine looks clear in my 012 EDGE (on the stick) at 74K. I think I need to drain/inspect it..btw, UA-cam vid ; ''Transmission fluid 3 time drain and fill on a 2012 Lincoln MKX'' at 100K Mi. Fluid was still dark after 3 time drain and fill , but owner ''did tow some''. After running 15 Qts. thru it, ''a few more changes'' were recommended. Another vid at 140K Mi showed the ''Dirty'' fluid coming out with a tinge of red in it. Nothing said about towing there..........or changing it again.....or, in either video, don't change it if it has never been changed after 100K or so Mi. ......I'm wondering how many times we should change it. What I'm getting out of some of these videos is keep changing it until it's color is acceptable, if you want the tranny to last.
Every 50k mis plenty If done right & good quality fluids used! Motorcraft brand is synthetic an very good. Its lighter viscosity for driveline efficiency. Use proper fluid! Mercon or Mercon LV.
@@Davido50 that's wrong ! Do NOT use LV fluid where it states to use Mercon V ! Mercon LV is "Low Viscosity" and is thin... too thin for this vehicle. The LV means low viscosity. Motorcraft has never made transmission fluid in their life. It is rebottled and just cost more. MERCON V is the right fluid.
did your shifting improved after fluid change? what exactly was wrong with shifting? Thanks!
My 2014 Edge uses Mercon LV. Can't use V in it or will be damaged.
Its fluid dude, it will turn dark even after a just a few miles. It's like oil. Heat breaks it down and doesn't care if you just baby your car. I change my oil in my 2011 flex every 5k and I change my trans fluid every 50k.
If your transmission fluid gets dark after a few miles, there's something wrong. Unlike the oil in your engine, transmission fluid is a form of hydraulic pump fluid and extremely clean. It should not get dark for a long time. Engine oil gets dark much much faster because you have carbon build up the combustion chamber and the piston rings can't ever be tight enough to hold back that carbon from ignition of gas that get into the oil under the piston. A transmission doesn't have this. And that's why it takes a long time for transmissions to turn dark.
@@ddaniels1800 exactly !
Did it improve the shifting?
Everyone should do it at 30000. About 4.1qts for my 2016 explorer. Also did a 2015 escape oil on both good but also the same amount. Rockauto motorcraft $4.10. Qt but $$shipping
I think 30K is good advice. btw,Amazon now sells fluids, free shipping.
@@jimmyross4352 yup 40k max an tranny will last 4ever. Transfer case gear oil needs changing too if AWD!
would you know the size / thread of that drain bolt ?
Great job. Now I can do mine thank you.
What would be leaking through the silicone running right down the middle of the transaxle
Don't ever do a transmission flush. If your tramsmission is not messed up, it will mess it up. And if you feel you need to, don't ever take it to the dealer to have it done. They will fuck up your car everytime!
I guess people don't really understand that they want the vehicle to break down. Selling parts is where the money lies. The recommended scheduled maintenance is always bogus IF you're trying to keep a car into the upper life span of 10, 15, or 20 years.
do you have more videos about servicing Lincoln mkx
Isaias Vega - Feel free to check his video list. I also have some on my page.
No, sold the car and got a new one.
@@fintechrepairshop All the new Lincolns are awesome. We keep buying em too. Never issues. Good maintenance.
LV fluid is darker in color so don't be alarmed
LV is the WRONG fluid !!! It is for newer cars and is "Low Viscosity", thus the name LV. It is too thin for this car. The filler cap on the transmission is clearly says to use Mercon V. Putting in thin LV would make this transmission throw a fit !
MyFord Edge manual calls for Mercon LV not Mercon V.
snoboy 58 mine too. From my understanding if your Edge is 2010 or later it takes LV. Earlier than 2010 is V
Mercon LV! Its synthetic.
After the flush Do i add the fluid thru the dip stick pipe or thru the top plug on the transaxle?
dip stick tube
Thank you
No ,,put it in your gas tank,,,What do you think dummy ? You watch a video and you absorb NOTHING in your brain ?
@@SonofGodly Sir .... really no reason to be rude. To a certain extent it would make sense to fill through the upper drain if that is where the overflow limit is reached.
@@SonofGodly moron . Got issues?
Was good tips
Multiple people here say to use LV fluid in these vehicles. LV is WRONG ! LV means "LOW VISCOSITY" ( TOO THIN ! ) for transmissions calling for Mercon V. It's a bad mistake to put LV into a vehicle needing Mercon V.
you know that there is two drain plug upper and lower... I think you must opening both of them to achieve completely drain the ATF
I noticed that upper drain plug in the video and thought to myself, I'm going to take that one out too and see if any more comes out.
the lower plug is to drain, the upper plug is upper level, so if you overfilled the transmission you would pull the upper plug and excess fluid will drain off to the correct level.
Can the upper plug be used as a way to ensure proper filling level like a weep hole? I know it has a dipstick but just curious.
6F50 in the manual under hard conditions it says 30k. on my explorer I power flushed by ford @40k $200 but never had a problem with trannie
Isn’t the plug we see that is up higher than the drain plug a transmission fluid level plug? Anybody? If it is just refill with one more qt. than drained out and pull the level plug and let excess drain.
beboboy mann my question as well...
How many liters?
5 l ish
Really? A 2000 Lincoln mkx/edge...
Have a 2014 and I see no drain plug!
Never ever use Teflon tape
That is not the right Valvoline Fluid for that transmission, you should use Low Viscosity (LV) oil like Valvoline Max Life.
Roberto --- Did you Not see the Mercon V on the filler cap.
You do not use LV in a Vehicle that does not have it shown in the owners manual
or on the vehicle somewhere.
@@pczapp827 You are right, I have a Lincoln MKX 2011 that calls for Mercon LV seems like newer cars require different fluid, mine has the exact same cap but it shows LV.
Teflon?? What?
Replacing the filter would make the transmission live way longer.. altough u have to remove trans and open her up . Filter is in a akward place 😬
Hi i chance my transmisión oil y my manual say 10 Quartz d oil
the manual saying 10q if you get all the fluid from transmission but when you drain it, almost 4q will stay at differential. You will need special tools to take all the fluid out. Or you can drain it and put the fluid then turn ur vehicle with shifting the gears then you drain it again, in this way you will get the old fluid from the differential too.
Would you charge to do mine?? 😂
Of course they want it too fail, sell more transmission.
Its funny mine says change it at 30,000. You do more bullshitting than work. Shut up for a change.
