What is the best way to maintain the transmission in a Ford Focus?

I have a 2012 Ford Focus and I want to make sure I am taking care of the transmission properly. What steps should I take to maintain it?

I recommend following the recommended maintenance schedule outlined in your owner's manual. This includes regular fluid and filter changes.

In addition to following the maintenance schedule, be sure to check your transmission fluid levels regularly and top it off as needed.

Avoid harsh driving habits such as sudden accelerations and excessive idling, as this can put strain on the transmission.

Consider investing in a transmission cooler if you frequently tow heavy loads or live in a hot climate. This can help prolong the life of your transmission.
