I would have 6-7 QTs on hand.
Thank you, already have a new filter as well as I was planning on changing it out since it is after the break in period in case there was shards in the fluid from that process.
Awesome thank you!
If you are heavy off-roader (you use your 4x4 a lot), I would use 75W-140, otherwise 75W-90 will be fine.
Only 1 reason--CAFE.Why does Ford and Dana have different specs for the same part?
Are there any other videos out there on the transmission fluid change specific for the bronco other than the ford 10r80 ten speed transmission video. ThanksI have not--mine has a whine that will not go away and I have been hesitant to mess with it in case I have a warranty claim, though the local dealer said they would change the fluid and install the PPE pan and it would not void the warranty.
You are going to need this tool or something very much like it along with a "gauntlet glove" for your hand because you WILL be branded by the exhaust pipes while checking the level.
And a fluid pump:
It is a very straightforward process, but keep in mind the longer you allow it to drain the more fluid will be needed. Initial fill should be this on the dipstick when cold and idling in park:
At operating temperature (which is between 206F and 215F), the final level should be this:
With that said, I have read that when cold and idling in park, if you fill to one "square" below the at temperature mark, when the fluid heats to operating temperature, it will be right on the money.
i.e. fill to between to the "4" mark and it will be at the "3" mark when at temperature. I would fill it to "4" when cold and then check it at temperature to confirm.
Not sure but as I understand, they are almost identical from that aspect aside from the dipstick levels.
I stopped doing remote starts and allowing it to warm up to see how much that was contributing to the dilution. If the levels are still high in the next sample, then I may have a leaking injector. With that said, all the more reason to run a thicker viscosity xW-30 oil. At 5% dilution, Motorcraft 5W-30 would have been a thin xW-20 at the end of that run.
Yeah the only other difference is the dip stick location. 10R80 is passenger side closer to the front of the case, 10R60 like the Bronco is driver side more near the rear.
I like the ability to clean and refresh that aFe filter without the oil. Higher upfront cost but better long term value. Thanks for recommending.
Yeah, color me not a fan of K&N oil type air filters. The increased flow comes at a cost--decreased filtering and you are taking a chance on the filter oil making its way into MAF/MAP sensors and ruining them. The mess of cleaning them is not worth it as well.
