How Many Liters of Transmission Oil Does the Kuga Need?
2 Answers
The Kuga requires approximately 4.5-5L of transmission oil. Below are the benefits of regularly changing your car's transmission oil: 1. Ensures smooth and seamless gear shifting, improving driving performance. 2. Provides excellent oxidation resistance, reducing component rust. 3. Contains high-quality extreme pressure additives for optimal gear protection. 4. Offers superior anti-wear performance, extending the automatic transmission's lifespan. 5. Always use high-quality branded transmission oil when changing, as it effectively protects gears, reduces wear, enhances vehicle operation efficiency, saves fuel, extends oil service life, and lowers maintenance costs.
I've repaired quite a few Ford Escape transmissions, and oil quantity requires special attention. Standard gravity oil changes typically require about 7.5 liters of OEM transmission fluid, depending on the model year. For example, the 2015 model with the 6F35 transmission uses this amount. When refilling on a cold engine, avoid both overfilling and underfilling. Too little oil causes gear slippage and accelerated wear, while too much leads to foaming and overheating. I recommend changing the oil every 60,000 kilometers, using professional tools to check the oil level when the vehicle is on level ground with the engine at moderate temperature. Gravity changes are cost-effective and take about an hour, but a flush machine can more thoroughly clean residual sludge, though it requires about two extra liters of oil. Regular maintenance saves headaches, as transmission failure is costly. Always check the manual to confirm specifications, as different models may have slight variations. Don't skimp by using cheap oil—OEM fluid offers the best protection.
