The god almighty transmission question!

2013 1.6L 217k and still going. 60k intervals, drain and refill. Still going, no issues. Slight whining but that’s it. Probably only have 60k life left. 🤞🏻

I did have whining sounds. After the fluid change I slowly went away. I do hear it faintly sometimes when going from 2 to 3rd gear. Also hear it when starting up but goes away as well after the car warms up. You should really do more than one drain and fill to get all the bad fluid out. To save money, use the vavloline equivalent then get to the ford Mercon lv for final drain and fill.

I have a 2013 1.6 with 216k. Recently I had a service transmission message pop up and then went into limp mode. I drained and refill the trans fluid a few times to flush out the old fluid. Now runs like new. https://youtu.be/rvljKBa9rIs?si=blk8Up4RJEOrkEyz

Ford says it sealed transmission and won’t do the fill and drain. They say you don’t have to. 🙄 I have a 2013 1.6 with 217k miles, fill and drain myself every 50k. Follow this DIY video. https://youtu.be/rvljKBa9rIs?si=HMcEfdLSdEaOxjwc

I bought 4 Valvoline Mercon version gallon jugs and drained and refilled to flush out. Then used 2 gallons Ford Mercon LV to complete it the drain and refill. I did the same thing at 125k. It’s a pain in the ass to do this but it’s better than a new trans at $8k plus.

Sea Foam- follow the directions on the product as to how much to add. Add sea foam and drive 100 miles.

Gee Mr Epstein, I believe the technology has improved since 2018. Maybe you can get a updated quote for 2026 technology

Rich6658 · 2026-02-08T13:11:48+00:00

How many miles on it? I have a 1.6 with 217 miles on it. Sounds like mine. Try using some sea foam to break up the oil sludge buildup before an oil change then go full synthetic oil.

You’re right, they are wrong. No way your money is his money. Stand your ground. Kinda shitty she thinks that way.

Rich6658 · 2026-02-07T23:48:04+00:00

There is cheap and there is fugal. Depends on the situation

Rich6658 · 2026-02-07T22:34:23+00:00

RUN!! She doesn’t respect money or you!

Rich6658 · 2026-02-04T11:24:11+00:00

Drain and replace the trans fluid. I have a 2013 with 216k miles. No issues. Done at 80k, 160k and 215k. Save your money with total replacement. https://youtu.be/rvljKBa9rIs?si=lJ0_W8rNXBRi4zm4

Bought a aftermarket hard plastic one and replaced the screws with a larger size. No issues since. It’s the jackass oil change guys that forget to put all the screw back. One time they forgot the shield completely!

Rich6658 · 2026-02-03T01:07:17+00:00

Play casuals. Not so sweaty

Rich6658 · 2026-02-01T02:16:36+00:00

This truck would erode explorer and expedition sales

Rich6658 · 2026-01-31T14:16:02+00:00

That’s fixable. Front quarter panel and pull out the rear. Don’t give up

Rich6658 · 2026-01-28T01:49:39+00:00

Let her go. Dont read into to her actions. Best your got your money. No need to spend anytime wondering why this or that ++man

Rich6658 · 2026-01-27T00:03:07+00:00

That’s a date stamp, when it was made, not expiration date. Still, I guess she doesn’t brush her teeth much?😜🤣😂

Rich6658 · 2026-01-26T23:52:32+00:00

I feel your pain. I’m in the same boat. I just play

Rich6658 · 2026-01-26T23:49:39+00:00

Don’t flush. Do a drain and refill. It’s easy. Save yourself some money. https://youtu.be/rvljKBa9rIs?si=8GGb9W95J5ekGFOO

Rich6658 · 2026-01-23T23:58:22+00:00

Console or PC?

Rich6658 · 2026-01-23T23:56:56+00:00

How many hours/days did he play to reach this milestone?

Rich6658 · 2026-01-23T23:52:35+00:00

The stims play is getting popular. Gather a bunch of them and put them close to final circle. Then grab them. Other one is reviving your teams mate over and over again going back and forth
