How Often Should the Transmission Fluid in the Ford Kuga Be Changed?
1 Answers
Ford Kuga's transmission fluid should be changed every 40,000 kilometers, and it requires 9 liters of transmission fluid per change. Methods for changing the transmission fluid in the Ford Kuga: 1. Gravity Drain: The principle is similar to changing engine oil. After loosening the tightening nut at the bottom of the oil pan, the transmission fluid will automatically flow out from the drain hole. Although this method is simple, it cannot completely drain the transmission fluid. The reason is that the fluid in the mechanical grooves and depressions often cannot be fully discharged. 2. Machine Flush: New transmission fluid is stored inside the machine, and the transmission's fluid circuit interface is connected to the machine. The function of the machine is to push out the old fluid with the new one, which cleans the fluid circuit more thoroughly. The more new transmission fluid used in the machine flush, the more complete the replacement will be. A machine flush typically requires about 10-13 liters of transmission fluid. This method takes longer, usually around an hour. 3. Oil Pan Removal: This method allows for thorough cleaning from the source and also enables the cleaning of the transmission fluid filter. However, since the removal process requires more labor, the corresponding labor cost will also increase.
