By the way why ford is saying it is sealed for life....I call 2 ford dealers and both gave me different answers. One said its sealed for life and the other one said every 200000Ks............confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed mine at 30K and it was pretty bad. If its under warranty stick with what ever ford recommend if not change to transmax z & you'll never go back.

GinjaNinja Member 125 Member For: 15y 4m 3d Gender: Male Location: SEQ Posted 09/01/11 09:33 AM Share Posted 09/01/11 09:33 AM But you need 9 Litres of Transmax if u're taking off the pan/gasket/filter, 4 litres if its just interval service.I use Penrite SIN ATF, exactly the same one used in Bimmers, I think it works what does everybody here think?
