I own a Ford Galaxy and I'm wondering what the best way to maintain its transmission fluid is. Should I change it regularly or just top it off when it's low? Also, what type of transmission fluid should I use and how often should I check the levels?
ReplyHi Sam, as a long-time Ford Galaxy owner, I recommend checking your transmission fluid levels regularly (about every 30,000 miles). It's important to use the right type of transmission fluid, so be sure to check your owner's manual for the specific type recommended for your vehicle. As for changing the fluid, it's best to follow the manufacturer's recommended schedule, usually every 50,000-60,000 miles. Keep in mind that driving habits and conditions can impact the lifespan of your transmission fluid, so if you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or have a heavy load, it's a good idea to change it more often.
Hi Sam, I'm an experienced mechanic and I advise checking your transmission fluid levels every 10,000 miles. As for changing the fluid, it's best to do so every 30,000 miles. However, if you're experiencing any problems with your transmission, it's best to change the fluid immediately. When it comes to the type of fluid, your owner's manual should have the recommended specifications for your vehicle. If not, I recommend using a high-quality synthetic fluid for better performance and protection.
Hey Sam, I've been maintaining my Ford Galaxy's transmission fluid for years now and have had no issues. I recommend checking the fluid every time you get an oil change (about every 5,000-7,000 miles) and topping off as needed. However, it's good practice to replace the fluid every 50,000 miles. As for the type of fluid, I stick to the manufacturer's recommendation but also look for a fluid with good reviews and ratings.
