2014 Ford Explorer Transmission fluid and filter exchange LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!!

[@PonysGarage]

Thank you for that clarification on the filter. I honestly thought a shop was trying to get me to rebuild the transmission 😅. The fluid change seems very straightforward and is something I can do. Thank you for the help on this video.

[@jerrypineda1141]

Thanks man. Your video was very helpful.

[@raychow1272]

Please update more videos. Their extreamly helpful because not even pro demand Mitchell wad able to show me how to repair these exploers/ taurus

Cuando cambio el filtro..... Tiene que desarmar la transmisión ??? Cordiales saludos !!

[@Eddyz686]

No, solo cambie el aceite de transmision para cambiar el filtro se debera desmontar la transmision.

[@semperfitt356]

is the dip stick only on the 2014 police interceptor version? I have a base model 2013 explorer. Thanks

[@richierock1300]

It's on all of them. It's under the air filter housing.

[@PaulMcLove]

Super‼️ 👍😉😀

Hey question. My dumb self thought the drain was that piece sticking out on the farther left at :39 in the video and it snapped off. It not flush with the case a bit of a grove in came off. Should I be worried it could crack? Anything I should apply to it?

[@richierock1300]

If it doesn’t leak should be fine , you could put some JB Weld on the 2 little metal tube one that turns grey to be on safe side

[@Hunter-fn4sd]

@richierock 2015 FPIU state police 69000 miles, clunking and shuddering coming from under car when at slow speeds roughly 25-30. RPMS sway when this happens roughly a hundred RPM or so like it’s having trouble searching for gear. Bouncing back and fourth between 2 gears. Problem lessens with more speed and throttle. Problem completely gone when in low gear override. Would transmission flush help this issue. Also gonna do PTU. Anything you suggest to check, much appreciated

Trans problems

[@2GE4EV]

*the weather in my country very hot and the trans temp sometime up to 105c is this temp normally for trans or i need to install a trans cooler?* explorer 2012 3.5 with tow package lll

[@richierock1300]

Engine operating temperature is normally 220. If you have any concerns than you can install a trans cooler if you like. But I dont think it's necessary.

[@gus5064]

For replace the filter, is necessary Open all transmission?

[@richierock1300]

Trans has to come apart just drain and fill the fluid

[@Jerry-me1fy]

I did this job on my Ford Explorer and used motorcraft transmission fluid too. If I do this job again do you think using Amsoil transmission fluid is a smart idea?

[@richierock1300]

Dont think to much of Amsoil. Only use FORD LV fluid. filter is inside of trans have to disassemble the trans.

[@danielzaccardelli5976]

Great video. I just did it on my 2014 and it worked great. Do you think this is an actual fix or just a temporary band aid?

[@richierock1300]

Well if you had problems before I would say a band aid should change the fluid every 30,000 or more from new

[@danielzaccardelli5976]

@@richierock1300 I had the exact problem you described here. Change in RPM around 1800 - 2000.

[@GMK6300L]

No need to remove the intake to check or add. I just unplugged the maf sensor then used a long skinny funnel. Also need a light to see it

[@richierock1300]

That'll work.

[@howardlovecraft750]

Now why in the world would Ford Motor Co design and build an engine bay so difficult to check and fill the transmission fluid, just as if the company was playing a joke/prank on the consumer.

[@btwbrand]

You think that's bad try draining and filling the Power Takeoff Unit. (transfer case)

[@nikkithomas5313]

It's not. I check and fill mine without doing any of that. Might be a squeeze for some (I'm an average sized female) but my hand and arm fit right down in there no problem. Can be a little tricky to twist the dipstick without much wiggle room if it's been a while & has buildup, but otherwise, I think all those steps are pretty unnecessary. Personally, I'd probably CAUSE damage somehow in the process of removing and reinstalling all of that! 😂

[@justaguynamedmax8207]

He makes it seem hard, all you have to do is stick your hand down there and un screw it.

[@boomerpaschall]

Good deal, thank ya sir

[@cerrem1]

The 6F55 holds 11.6 Quarts....changing out 5 quarts just dilutes the new and old fluid 50/50... ... Its much easier and thorough to just disconnect the cooler lines...... put the send to a collection bucket and then put the return into a small bucket of new trans fluid.... turn the engine on and the transmission will push out the old and suck in the new fluid...keep on eye on the buckets and stop the engine and change out the fluids a few times...

[@richierock1300]

It's very messy doing what you're saying to do. It's time consuming when you can just drain 4 quarts at a time on your oil change intervals, without totally washing the fiber off your plates.

[@cerrem1]

@@richierock1300 You make a good point about not totally washing out the clutch plate fibers...

Thank you I almost bought the dam filter

[@hershelr.sullivaniii7139]

Please change the title of this video. It's very misleading, especially when someone is trying to find a video that shows the actual process to remove the transaxle, crack it in half, and replace the filter.

[@damianchimienti5447]

When is it a good time to change ur trans fluid? I got 43k on mine and it's a 2012

[@stephencannon3140]

Damian Chimienti NOW. Especially with non serviceable filter....

[@Airmanmx1]

Call the dealership, the parts department will always disclose intervals for service. They do that so they can then offer you their fluid

[@richierock1300]

Rule of thumb, is every 30,000 miles or less. If you're not the original owner I wouldn't change it if you haven't changed it from 30,000 miles.

[@fredjr68]

@@richierock1300 can you elaborate on " if you haven't changed it in the 30,000 mile interval, Don't do it"

[@richierock1300]

@@fredjr68 if it’s close I would like drain a quart or 2 with oil changes every other time if you change your own oil , if it’s got over 70,000 and looks and smells nasty I’d leave it alone not like back in the day when you change the filter and it’s good as new now it’s the other way around change and you gotta get a new one if you want to do it gradually

[@parolesrapfr8509]

where the filter is located?

[@richierock1300]

The filter is located inside of the transmission. To actually get to it you'd have to take apart the case halves.

[@GMK6300L]

What’s with ford? I too drained out 4 qts, then added 4-3/4 of a qt. I checked according to mfg specs., warm up to full temp, shift through the gears after you stop, waiting 10 seconds between shifts. Then check while running and screw dipstick down all the way before pulling it out. I read this method from my owners manual exactly. It just barely showed at the very bottom tip of the dipstick below add. Then I drained 4 qts., Then I ended up adding 4-3/4 qts. After adding 4, then taking it for another test drive showing the same result as where ford filled it, just touching the bottom of the dipstick. Any less would not even show. Wow, seems the factory would be perfect

[@pats1fan151]

I was going to ask if you ever checked it before this to see where it read. Sounds to me like the factory fill shorted you

[@richierock1300]

Sorry so late in answering. I've had the same problem. I just added fluid to the correct level on the dipstick.

[@saleens330]

I hate the fact that LV turns brown quick. You could take fluid out at 10K miles and it looks brown like that.

[@richierock1300]

There is a trans additive I’ve used in the past that turns the fluid nice red it’s from BG products

[@marcomartinez592]

Is it the same prosecutor for a 2013 Ford Explorer xlt? Nice video by the way ..

[@pollorobot69]

Yes

[@richierock1300]

If you're talking about the PTU the non interceptor will have a fill plug not a drain plug. You'll have to suck it out and fill it accordingly.

[@flightmedic7169]

Know how much the 2.0 Ecoboost takes ?

[@richierock1300]

5 quarts of 5w30 synthetic.

[@drewgonzalez675]

the title is misleading, you didnt even show how to do the filter change.

[@richierock1300]

Transmission needs to come apart to replace the filter.

[@matthewwilliams9200]

its explains it's not serviceable unless being rebuilt

[@stephencannon3140]

He is trying to show how badly designed the transmission is. Even more critical these days to change fluid more often. Ford is banking on most owners following the normal maintenance schedule...150K miles and the old fluid burning up the transmission before 150K but AFTER the warranty runs out. Cash cow for dealers who don’t know about KZbin and somewhat beating dealers at their own game.

[@whpony96]

If you drained 4 and added 5 you got a seal leak in the PTU and that's where your transmission fluid is going..

[@richierock1300]

No. They're both separately sealed units. (it was just a miscalculation on my part with the fluids. I had used a five quart jug thinking that it was a gallon jug).

[@saulmarques1934]

Thanks a lot . Will have to do mine in the weekend.

[@miguelcolon8929]

Why 5qt?

[@richierock1300]

Because that is the amount of fluid that drains out.

[@LP-ou3hy]

In the video he says "I took out 4 quarts, put back in 5..." Is this because the filter contains 1 quart?

[@tedfitzpatrickyt]

I’m also wondering if putting more fluid in could harm things? Probably not...

[@tedfitzpatrickyt]

answer: he said, when the engine’s warm, the dipstick should be wet within the hatch-marks range on the dipstick (5 qts achieved this for him)

[@GMK6300L]

Must have been low. A cop car getting beat to shit for 100,000 miles makes sense. Either way, just use the dipstick method and you can’t go wrong. I wish he would’ve checked it before he changed it just to see where it would be on the dipstick

[@larryphillips5781]

Pissed me off how they put the transmission dipstick under the intake so stupid 😡

[@richierock1300]

At least it has one

[@thealmightytoad117]

Be careful. When you drain the tranny fluid, all of it won't come out. You'll still have about half a quart in it. Always replace the same amount you drained. Then recheck after running it through the gears.

[@richierock1300]

Total capacity is about 10.8 quarts when you do a drain and fill it’s between 4 to 5 quarts and yes recheck fluid level after it’s at operating temperature

[@JamalGood-l1r]

Must the vehicle be turned off when checking and replacing trans fluid?

[@richierock1300]

Running and running temperature

[@JamalGood-l1r]

@@richierock1300 Thank you!

[@Xlriick]

I think the fluid amount is in the book. It should not be guessed.

[@MrEeeaddict]

you don't get it all out

[@richierock1300]

Put in what it shows on dipstick when hot

[@richierock1300]

By draining the the fluid the amount will vary by the amount of time you let it drain like if you drain it for 15 minutes it might drain 4.5 qts compared to if you drain overnight it might drain 6 qts because as vehicle sits everything drains down even the torque converter will drain down a little so use your dipstick
