How many kilometers should the Ford Escort's transmission fluid be changed?
1 Answers
Ford Escort transmission fluid replacement cycle is 45,000 kilometers, with a replacement capacity of 5.6L. Additional information: Ford Escort transmission fluid replacement methods: 1. Gravity replacement: The method and principle are the same as engine oil replacement. Use tools to loosen the nut, and the transmission fluid will automatically flow out under gravity. This method is the most common and easiest to operate, but it cannot completely drain the transmission fluid. In mechanical grooves and recesses, transmission fluid often cannot be discharged. 2. Circulation machine replacement: First, add new transmission fluid to the circulation machine, then connect the transmission fluid circuit interface to the circulation machine. The function of the circulation machine is to push out the old fluid with the new one, achieving a replacement of old with new. This method cleans the fluid circuit more thoroughly. The more new transmission fluid used, the cleaner the result. A single circulation machine replacement requires approximately 10-13 liters of transmission fluid. The replacement time is about 40-80 minutes. 3. Oil pan removal replacement: This method cleans from the source, achieving a more thorough cleaning, and allows for the cleaning of the transmission fluid filter. Removing the oil pan is a major task, and the labor cost will be significantly higher. Symptoms of deteriorated Ford Escort transmission fluid: 1. Slipping: During the process of gradually increasing engine speed, the increase in torque can cause gear slipping. 2. Oil leakage: The transmission sealing strip ages, and the sealing gasket deforms. 3. Jerking: Possibly due to dirty transmission fluid, causing intermittent lubrication. 4. Abnormal noise: Could be due to gear deformation or excessive impurities settled in the oil pan. 5. High temperature: The dashboard shows a transmission high-temperature warning. 6. Stalling: Caused by failure of the solenoid valve component.
