ceilidhdog Report post Posted March 23, 2023 Taking my 2013 FFH in for its 60,000-mile oil change soon and the dealer says Ford calls for a transmission flush at 60,000 miles. I don't see anything in the owner's manual about this. Is it really needed? Car's transmission was replaced under warranty at 5,000 miles and the vehicle has been trouble-free ever since. Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HybridAffaciando Report post Posted March 24, 2023 Does your owner's manual cite a specific recommended interval? I'm pretty sure it's 150,000 miles. If your dealer is claiming Ford recommends less, I'd be ask to see the reference. 1 JAM7 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MeeLee Report post Posted May 3, 2023 On the older models you probably need to do a transmission oil change earlier on. On the newer models (starting 2014 or 2015), you can just drain 4 out of 5 quart of transmission fluid, and replace it with ford certified fluid. Don't use regular transmission oil, as it shares the oil with the electric motor. I found 100k miles the perfect interval. Oil is still clean enough, but mpg shows its getting near to needing replacement (+1mpg gain after oil flush). 1 JAM7 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ceilidhdog Report post Posted May 3, 2023 Many thanks. At 84, I don't imagine I'll live long enough to see my FFH reach 100,000 miles.? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
