How to Change the Automatic Transmission Oil on Ford Powershift

Model: Ford Kuga C394, MK 1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Transmission fluid

For this operation, you will need the specific oil from LiquiMoly (6 litres), the external filter complete with cartridge, and since you need to access it by removing the airbox, also change the air filter. Find the complete oil change kit on eBay with code 116975447213 for £129.24, with free delivery. Start by removing the undertray. The Powershift gearbox has two drain plugs that must both be removed, then remove the external filter using a 22 mm socket. Remove the airbox, as the oil fill cap is located just underneath. Take this opportunity to replace the filter, install the new external filter in its place, re-screw the two drain plugs, and fill with 6 litres of new oil, then reassemble the airbox and re-screw the cover and all fastenings.
