How do I properly maintain my Ford Fiesta's transmission fluid?

I have noticed that my Ford Fiesta's transmission has been feeling a bit sluggish lately. I am wondering if it's time for a transmission fluid change. How often should I change the transmission fluid and what is the recommended type of fluid for my Ford Fiesta?

Hi Mary, it is recommended to change your Ford Fiesta's transmission fluid every 30,000 miles or every 2 years, whichever comes first. As for the type of fluid, make sure to use a Ford-approved transmission fluid to ensure optimal performance.

Mary, I would suggest getting a transmission fluid flush and refill. This will ensure that all of the old fluid is removed and replaced with new fluid. Also, make sure to check your transmission fluid levels regularly to stay on top of maintenance.

Hi Mary, another important thing to keep in mind is to never ignore any signs of transmission issues such as slipping, grinding, or hesitation. These could be indicators that your transmission fluid needs to be changed sooner than the recommended interval.
