i've been going through the Service Maintence Guide and the only time it says to change the tranny oil is at 150,000 miles
it says to change the oil on the torqueshift and 4R100 every 30k miles but for other Tranny's/transaxles it says to simply check the stick untill 150k miles sooo..

 

My tranny doesn't have any oil in it.

I previously changed my tranny fluid every 20,000 miles and will continue to do so when i hit that mark.

 

your tranny would not work if it didnt have any oil in it.

 

Every 30Kish, just to CYA.

 

He's saying it does have "OIL" it has "FLUID"

Its called ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid)

 

Yeah. The only trannys that still use oil is manual. So his tranny will work with no oil. Actually, it WON'T work with oil because oil is to think for a autobox.

I change mine about 50k. Change the motor oil every 5k and run full synth in it. Seems fine so far.

 

oh Joseph jumpin jesus .. you know what i meant.


you change yours every 50k? i'll probably do that too. the color hasnt changed or anything spectacular happened. i was just wondering why my Service Maintaince Guide doesnt tell you to chang the oil.. .err fluid.. untill 150,000 miles..

ANYONE with a SMG please go get it and take a look.
Maybe im reading it wrong. :o

 

That is weird. Here's a link to it. http://www.motorcraftservice.com/vdi...&menuIndex1=18

Changed link. You'll have to select your vehicle. Then find the appropriate guide.

 

ya as you can see it doesnt tell you to change the automatic tranny fluid untill 150,000 miles so ...

 

Linky no loady for me.

 

You do realize ATF is a form of hydraulic oil. Rediculous post.

 

I think I'm going to do mine at 30,000 just to be on the safe side. I've got a little shudder going from first to secound gear some times and I can't tell if its the transmission or in the rear end. Who knows? I'm not too worried, its not bad at all.

 

Ok. fixed the link. Can't point ya straight to I guess. http://www.motorcraftservice.com/vdi...&menuIndex1=18

 

ya i dont see myself going 150,000 miles before i change my tranny oil.

but im probably not gonna change it every 30k since i dont have to.

another interesting thing is the book doesnt even tell you to check, mind you CHECK, the PCV on the 5.4 untill 150,000 miles so..

 

The PCV valve is electronically controlled and heated.
