How often should I change the transmission fluid in my Ford Kuga?

I recently purchased a Ford Kuga and I'm not sure how often I should be changing the transmission fluid. Is it a routine maintenance task or does it depend on certain factors? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

It is generally recommended to change the transmission fluid in your Ford Kuga every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, or every 2-4 years. However, if you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or tow heavy loads, it may need to be changed more frequently. It's always best to consult your owner's manual for specific recommendations for your vehicle.

If you notice any issues with your transmission such as a delay in shifting or strange noises, it's best to have the fluid checked and changed if necessary. Neglecting to change the transmission fluid can lead to costly repairs down the line.

In addition to mileage and driving habits, the type of transmission fluid used can also affect how often it needs to be changed. Make sure to use the type of fluid recommended by Ford for your specific model.
