How to preform a transmission fluid and filter change on a Ford F150. Ford has used this transmission in their F-150 pickups from 2007 to 2016 prior to introducing the 10-speed 10R80 in 2017. Replacing the transmission filter prior to doing a complete system flush of the automatic transmission on a 2016 Ford F150 with a 6-speed automatic (6R80).
