Replacing the Gearbox Oil

Model: Ford Fusion MK 1 - Years 2002-2012
Part: Transmission fluid

The automatic transmission system of the vehicle should be checked periodically. To maintain this system, check the transmission fluid to ensure it is always sufficient and replace it after the first 5,000 to 6,000 miles. For this Ford Fusion (the procedure is also applicable to the Escape model), first remove the shield located under the vehicle. Next, unscrew the sump bolt and allow the old transmission fluid to drain out completely. Once drained, replace the plug (after cleaning it) and reattach the protective shield. After locating the filler neck, use a funnel to pour in the transmission fluid. Once the engine is running, check the level with the appropriate dipstick.
