I’ve been looking for this video for the longest. I have a 2012 Ford Edge Ecoboost and couldn’t do a transmission oil change because I didn’t know where to find the opening or dipstick to replace the oil once the pan oil was drained. I always had to pay but now thanks to this video I can do it myself.
Glad you don’t have to pay anymore!👍🏼
Thanks for the info, I have a 2015 2.7 eco boost, but could not see a dip stick and was scratching my head till I went hunting for videos on the matter, and you are right... There are hardly any out there.
WG_ Marz Glad it was of some help, But
yes not very many videos on this car in particular. Ima try to do small videos on other things pretty soon. 👍🏼
great and valuable information. I do own a 2013 and shops charge arm & leg to do anything, also I don’t trust them very much. I like the simplicity and strait to facts that you presented on the video. Keep it up you are doing a great job
Dora González I appreciate your comment! Anything to help out a person in need. That’s the purpose of these videos to try to guide anyone in the same situation I’m in and save a lot of money!!
You are the MAN! I was going nuts trying to find the dipstick! Lol Thank you very much for this video man. 🙏👍👍
No problem Brotha! Glad I was of help 👍🏼
If you take off the driver wheel, you'll see a small bolt on the side of the transmission. That's the fluid level bolt. Take it out and fill transmission fluid until it starts leaking out of the hole. 👍 We have 220k miles on our 2012 Edge EcoBoost
Austin Aero I appreciate you letting me know! That’s something good to know, Good catch though! I was just told how much to put in but that would be a better way check the level. Maybe I’ll take it off to make sure I didn’t over fill or add fluid because either both too little or too much is not good for the vehicle. Thanks again!
No problem. Our transmission cooler line rusted out at 199k miles. Had to replace it (36 dollars) and had to refill the transmission fluid. Last owner never changed the transmission fluid so our fluid is about as black as diesel engine oil 🤣 It has about 3 quarts of new fluid in it. I may start slowly changing it out but for the condition of the fluid, the transmission shifts beautifully. About to roll 218k miles on it! My brother bought it in May of 18 for 2200 out the door. Its been a solid vehicle. Turbo doesn't really work anymore but we will be replacing it soon with a new one
Also, that fill bolt will be to the right of the axle (I think). It's a T25 Torx if I remember correctly. Be sure to check it when the transmission is at full operating temperature and make sure the car is leveled equally. So after taking off the wheel, lower the jack down to where the edge would normally sit. Be careful, that fluid will be really hot!
Austin Aero thanks! I will definitely get back at you to let you know the outcome
Mannnn that’s crazy! I bought it from a dealer for 6k with 150k miles I believe and I didn’t know the history really on it besides that it was a fleet car so I know it got abused so I’m slowly doing all the fluids and oils that need to be changed. Trans oil wasn’t that bad had a notch to the gear change but after the oils change feels better not completely gone but waaaayyy better. Also the dealer took like 2 weeks to give me a vehicle because they changed the turbo they believed it was just the waste gate but they decided to change the whole turbo has a lot of power for what it is love the car!
Bro.... first off NEVER apologize for stopping for you daughter. Kids are more important than youtube views
You are absolutely right Brotha. 👍🏼
Best to check it while vehicle is level idling in park. There is a fill level hoke up by the cv axle on the drivers side of the transmission case.
Great video well explained! This its gonna help me a lot and be able to do it by myself!!
Efrain Salazar glad it will help you out man. If you have any questions feel free to reach out I’ll reply as soon as I can. Good luck bud.
Drain plug, or 'overflow" plug?
What does the Service Manual say?
Most of today's 'sealed' transmissions have very specific fluid level requirements, and specific steps needed to change or check fluid levels. Not all transmissions are merely filled until the fluid runs out the overflow hole. They typically require a specific amount of fluid at a specific temperature, as there's not much room for thermal expansion when the oil gets to a typical operating temp of over 100-deg. Blown seals result from over-filling, which can easily happen if you fill the transmission with room temp oil.
Given that this transmission has no dipstick, how do you determine the level of fluid in the transmission. I am assuming there is a plug that will determine whether I have the appropriate level of fluid in the transmission. I just want to be sure that I am taking the right plug out to determine the level.
Thanks for the comment! But yes I didn’t show just because I was going off of fluid capacity. I seen this video for fluid level on the side of the transmission that should give you a pretty good idea. Hope it helps

I found residue all over the top of the transmission and no cap. I need to top it off. How can I check the level?
Honestly since it doesn’t have a dip stick, I know it’s the most expensive option but I would recommend you drain and refill to make sure you have proper amount so you don’t do damage to the transmission.
Hi, just wonder drain and fill means drain it empty like the oil change? and needs 5 quarts Of MERCON LV to frill ? Trying to do this by myselft for the first time.
i have the same car like yours,2013 Ford Edge Eco Boost 2.0 101200km right now.
yong li Yes so you’ll do the same thing I did. Drain and fill the 5 Quarts just like a oil change. Let me know if you have any questions
@@nestormacias9951 ok, i see, thanks a lot.
Anytime brotha
Run the car and get the fluid hot. Park the car for about twenty minutes and let the fluid settle. Pull drain plug and drain into pan. Reinstall plug. MEASURE the amount of fluid in the drain pan. Add the same amount of new fluid thru fill opening. Drive car a couple mile to allow up shifts and downshifts thru all gears. Pull transmission drain plug and again drain the transmission……once again measure the amount of fluid drained……..pour in the exact amount with new fluid. You are now done. Why do this? Much of the old oil is retained in the torque converter and can’t be drained so two drains and fills will do a decent job of getting the fluid to be majority NEW fluid. The trans filter is internal and not serviceable.
Thanks for that 👍🏼 that’s good information I appreciate it.
I’m have 2012 Ford Explorer 2.0 ecoboots. How many Transmission oil I’m need
Esau Olivera how many miles do you have?
Nestor Macias 100000 miles
Your gonna need 5 quarts Of MERCON LV for drain and fill.
Nestor Macias I put 5 quarts and a little more almost 1/8 of a quart
Yes that should be fine.
Use the oil leveling plug on the side of transmission for proper fill level. During final fill car should be running and cycling through gears. Just randomly draining and filling is irresponsible and potentially destructive.
Why did you take off your battery negative? Do i have to do that?
yong li it’s just a precautionary step I always do.
