How often should the transmission fluid be changed for a 2017 Mondeo?
2 Answers
Mondeo transmission fluid should be changed every 50,000 kilometers. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Dimensions: The Mondeo is a mid-size car under Changan Ford. The vehicle measures 4873mm in length, 1852mm in width, and 1470mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2850mm. The car is equipped with a 1.5T L4 engine, featuring turbocharged intake, delivering a maximum horsepower of 182ps and a maximum torque of 243nm. 2. Transmission: Transmission fluid can be divided into automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and manual transmission fluid. Automatic transmission fluid is specifically designed for automatic transmissions, while manual transmission fluid is used for lubricating the hypoid gear drive shafts and manual transmissions under harsh operating conditions with high impact loads.
I've been driving a 2017 Mondeo for many years and change the transmission fluid more frequently. The manual recommends changing it every 40,000 kilometers or 4 years under normal driving conditions, but in practice, I change it every 30,000 kilometers because my driving style involves a lot of high-speed acceleration, which increases the risk of transmission fluid degradation. Once, I delayed the change until 50,000 kilometers, and the gear shifts became noticeably rough. After changing the fluid, it became smooth again, and I felt much more at ease. Don't forget to check the fluid level and color—if it turns dark brown or has a lot of impurities, it's time for a change. Timely maintenance can help avoid costly transmission overhauls, especially since the Mondeo's automatic transmission is quite sophisticated. I recommend using genuine factory fluid—it's more expensive but reliable and worth it. In short, changing the fluid every 30,000 kilometers or so ensures the car runs longer and saves you trouble.
