🔧 Ford Fusion & Escape transmission fluid change - full service! 6F35 "how to"

The Fusion featured in this video is a 2014 with the 2.5. This procedure should be the same for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, Fusions with the 1.5, 1.6, 2.0 (non-hybrid) and 2.5 and all Ford Escapes 1.6, 2.0, 2.5 2013-2019. They all used the 6F35 6-speed automatic transmission. This transmission uses a filter that is only replaceable by removing the transmission and splitting the case. I would highly recommend changing the fluid every 30K miles!!! 5 quarts (4.5 quarts needed) of OEM Motorcraft Mercon LV: https://amzn.to/3MYWt68 *or* 2 gallons (4.5 quarts needed) of Valvoline Maxlife ATF (Recommended for use in Mercon LV applications): https://amzn.to/3vL6isv Funnel: https://amzn.to/49L895m T-30 torx bit: https://amzn.to/4rU1IUG 10mm hex (in some applications): https://amzn.to/4pWdgWp 11mm socket: https://amzn.to/4iSnELO 13mm socket: https://amzn.to/4agJfLS Quinn 3/8" Drive Torque Wrench: https://www.harborfreight.com/38-in-drive-5-100-ft-lb-digital-angle-torque-wrench-64915.html 106 in-lbs drain plug torque spec 71 in-lbs level check plug torque spec for the 13mm plug 100 ft-lbs wheel lug nut torque spec Target transmission temp: 100F degrees or higher.
