Transmission Fluid Exchange

When Does My Ford Need Its Transmission Fluid Exchanged?

It is an excellent maintenance strategy to follow the recommended maintenance schedule for your Ford’s transmission fluid exchange service. Ford F-150 models generally need to have the automatic transmission fluid exchanged at 150,000 miles. Ford heavy-duty trucks, commercial vans, or SUVs hauling heavier loads often benefit from transmission fluid exchange at shorter intervals because fresh fluid helps protect the transmission system’s inner components.
