2002 Lincoln Blackwood truck. Does it have a drain plug in the torque converter? Thanks

Unlikely, the last year the F150 had one was 2001.

 

My 2002 FX4 does not have one. My last truck a 2000 F1504x4 did have a drain plug.

 

The first two months of 2002 production had a drain plug in the torque converter. Most 2002s did not.

 

OK, thanks. Guess I'll just have to take it to the jiffy lube.

That all depends. You can drop the pan every 20k miles or so and refill the pan. I'd install a drain plug and filter the first time and a new filter every 3rd time. In between, just drain from the plug and refill.

This is what I do.

Or you can use the procedure of disconnecting the cooler line and pump out a few qts, add a few until it runs clean. There is a procedure to do this posted somewhere on this site.

 

Or you can simply take it to a place that has an exchange machine.
