Draining, all vehicles using a suitable flush and fill machine
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln Mark LT and 2007 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Always refer to the instructions supplied with the flush and fill machine, or transmission damage may occur.
NOTE:
Draining fluid from the transmission by removing only the transmission fluid pan is acceptable for normal or severe duty transmission fluid maintenance.
- With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to JACKING AND LIFTING article.
- Use a suitable flush and fill machine to change the transmission fluid.
- When connecting the flush and fill machine, connect the machine to the transmission fluid cooler tube after the transmission fluid cooler on the transmission fluid cooler return tube. This will help remove any foreign material trapped in the transmission fluid coolers.
