When do you change the oil on the 4R75E?
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..

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

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

.. 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.

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.

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..
