If the fluid is kept clean from the beginning there is no need to change the filter.
Easist way to keep fluid just about new is too just drain the 4 quarts at an interval you desisre, 10K, 15k, 20k whatever.
The process is called progressive dilution. I drop 4 quarts out of the pan every 15k miles now and my fluid basically kept like new at this interval.
When I first started back when the vehicle was fairly new (30k on the odometer) this is what I was told to do. I dropped the 4 quarts out of the trans. I filled it with 4 qts of new fluid. Drove the vehicle for about 25 miles. Came back and dropped the 4 quarts I previously just added. Then added 4 qts. of new fluid. Drove the vehicle for 5k miles and did the same thing. After that it was every 15k miles. I would estimate that I now have about 80% new fluid in my tranny at all times.
You start out by progressively diluting the old fluid with new fluid. That first dilution really brings the fluid to a good level of new fluid. The second one at 5k miles gives it bump up in the dilution. I found for me 15k intervals works best. When I drain the fluid at 15k miles it still is bright red and that is what you want to see.
The CD4E transmission is the weak link in the Escape, especially the older models like mine (2003). I know have 156K miles and knock on wood, no trans problems ever.
Em thấy nó giải thích được việc không thay được lọc dầu hộp số của ếch. Các bác cho ý kiến nhé. Thanks
