WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 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.
NOTE:
Draining fluid from the transmission by removing only the fluid pan is acceptable for normal or severe duty fluid maintenance.
- With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to JACKING & LIFTING .
- Use a suitable flush and fill machine to change the fluid.
- When connecting the flush and fill machine, connect the machine to the fluid cooler tube after the fluid cooler on the cooler return line. This will help remove any foreign material trapped in the fluid coolers.
