Where is the transmission fluid filler port located on the Fiesta?
1 Answers
The transmission fluid filler port on the Fiesta is located under the front hood, on the left side of the engine. For manual oil change (gravity drain), approximately 4 to 6 liters of fluid are required; if using an oil change machine, around 9 to 12 liters are needed. The methods for changing transmission fluid are as follows: Unscrew the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission to drain the old fluid before refilling. Remove the transmission oil pan directly to drain and refill the fluid: This method is more thorough than the previous one, as it removes impurities from the bottom of the oil pan. Use a circulation machine to change automatic transmission fluid: A smart circulation machine can dynamically change the fluid, filtering and cleaning out sludge and impurities from the automatic transmission. Hazards of not changing transmission fluid for a long time: 1. Damage to the transmission's shift control mechanism; 2. Abnormal wear of gears and clutch plates inside the transmission; 3. Impact on the normal operation of the transmission, leading to damage of the transmission valve body.
