WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Use only clean automatic transmission fluid. Do not use any supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or cleaning agents. The use of these materials can affect the operation of the transmission, resulting in internal component failure.
NOTE:
Always refer to the instructions supplied with the flush and fill machine.
NOTE:
This is a new procedure for draining and adding transmission fluid using a suitable transmission flush and fill machine.
- With the vehicle in PARK, position on a hoist. For additional information, refer to JACKING AND 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 tube. This will help remove any foreign material trapped in the fluid coolers.
- Carry out the fluid exchange process.
