A helpful tip to keep from spilling transmission fluid all over yourself and the floor is to use a fluid pump (can be purchased for about $5 at Harbor Freight) to evacuate the pan of transmission fluid first before removing it!

@PhilipSAndrews Год назад

Yes remove the pan, install a new pan with a drain, so your next trans fluid change you can just drain into a container. 😅 also mightyvac dose make a 5qt pump.

I was looking for an f150 Lightning vid but this is fine. Good time to add a higher capacity pan with drain plug. Agree with the Ford fluid, they drive the specs. Good job on the vid and keep it coming!

@TheRobkwill 3 года назад

Thanks. Good video. Can't believe Ford didn't put a drain plug in the pan or a transmission dipstick on the top of the engine.

@KalebJolley 2 года назад

Ford meant for these to be lifetime transmissions that only need flushes if used for heavy duty applications, and even those are only recommended every 150k miles.

through and to the point,way easier than my 08 ford explorer,plus no need for a jack,,still Ford could have added a normal way to fill the fluid.

@hunterprice287 3 года назад

I’ve got a 06 190k miles f150 4x4 given to me. I dropped the pan swap the fluid and filter. I’ve driven a few hundred miles since and have a pump I could drop down the fill plug. Would you pump a few quarts out and add some more. Given the pan drop was only 5/13 quarts fluid swap?

@jorgemartinbg 4 года назад

I changed my gasket on my 98 Ford F-150 4.6 xlt and tighten the bolts to 11 w the torque but it’s still leaking, do you know if after years the pan needs to be changed? Or should I get a gasket like the expensive one?

@wdwilson397 Год назад

It's a shame you can't get all the fluid without a flush I suppose. I'm thinking of driving mine for awhile then change out the 4 quarts I have left over by removing exactly 4 qts and replace with same. I'm trying to find out how long it takes for all the fluid in the torque converter to become diluted with the new fluid...any info on that? Thanks for the Vid

@edvictor5419 4 года назад

While your doing the fluid and filter also replace the sleeve for the electrical connector. It will leak eventually. Also shift thru all the gears while the truck is running to flow fluid thru the trans. Then check the level. Pain in the butt to get level right. Go slow while filling and dont overfill. There should have been a recall on the electrical sleeve leaking fluid. So much for the lifetime sealed trabsmission.

@PNZTX 3 года назад

@Aaron Hines Do you recommend also flushing the residual fluid out of the trans cooler? Most say there is a substantial amount (+2 qts) of dirty fluid which eventually gets recirculated back into the trans/filter if don't flush out through the return line.

@markk3652 3 года назад

A flush isn't advisable on these trucks. The residual fluid gets blended with the 6qts of new lv fluid. The filter is massive, and will trap anything circulating in the system. Fordtechmakuloco on youtube backs this up, and he is a very reputable ford technician.

@Mms93460 Год назад

Mark K what is the title of video that fordtechmackuloco states that a flush is not advisable. I watched a lot of his videos maybe I missed it.

@toyota38 5 лет назад

If you read the dipstick, it is supposed to be read at idle, in neutral while hot. Key to that is the truck is supposed to be idling!

@ianhillman4007 5 лет назад

Darin Morgante I have heard it can be a very bad idea to flush an automatic transmission because it could possibly due more harm than good. You might end up forcing dirt or debris into sensitive areas of the tranny. Best to just drop the pan, replace the filter. Throughly clean the pan magnet and gasket, then refill with clean new fluid.

@topherwayne4398 4 года назад

I agree, DONT flush it! Too many people have done this idea and regretted it after

@jeffthomas5866 3 года назад

Manual says transmission capacity is 13.1 quarts, nowhere near what is shown here. Assuming some additional fluid that needs to be flushed. Is a simple drain and refill sufficient for my 100K mile service? Seems like it should be flushed. TIA.
