It is recommended to change the transmission fluid every 30,000-60,000 miles or every 2-3 years, whichever comes first. As for the type of fluid, use the one recommended by Ford for your specific model.

I would suggest checking your owner's manual for the specific mileage recommendation and type of fluid to use. Every car may vary and it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions.

You may also want to consider changing the transmission fluid more frequently if you do a lot of towing or driving in stop-and-go traffic. This can put extra strain on the transmission and cause the fluid to break down faster.
