Brian, never apologize for spending time away from youtube. You spent time with your family, and the shop is busy. Thanks for the update.
Your channel has grown so much. I would think you might be able to invest in people to help you film edit and create your amazing content with you focusing on doing what you do for your customers. You could maybe get by to only give small inputs to the editor in order to convey your knowledge and what you want in the final cut.
Thank you for what you do have time to present to us. You have already given so much to us.
I agree to your fluid change mileage. I change my transmission fluid every 30k miles.
Nice... For sure, gotta take the family on vacation otherwise you'll end up making other video like legal stuff.. 😅
I always change my ATF every 30K with the correct motorcraft ATF. Because I own older Ford's I also change the transmission fluid filter.
Glad your shop is doing well and you're taking care of the fam. we're always here when you want to share pearls of wisdom. Even raw vids are good if editing is too time consuming.
Would have been nice if they put the leveling plug at the level when cold.
Great video, I'm not a fan of the self leveling, I prefer a dip stick.
Those were the days.
Thanks again.
Like doing a boat outboard/outdrive lower unit. But at least on those, you can access the drain and fill ports easily!
I just had a new transmission put in my 2015 Fusion ecoboost. 270k miles. Changed fluid every 30k-40k. Makes a difference.
Do you know where the tranny failed?
did the tranny fail?
241k here every 15-20k it does help
Gotta make the wifey happy bro. You deserve vacations. Life’s to short. As always you have great content.
Dude you absolutely have a gem of a video coming out can’t wait for plastic oil pan conversion 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just replaced an 8F35 in a 2021 Bronco sport, 66k miles. Never had the fluid changed and it was burnt sludge. Frequent fluid changes like this are key in Ford transmissions. ULV gets nasty just like LV does.
Brian, don’t let the wife force all those vacations on you.😂-
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm just about to change the transmission fluid on my wife's '20 Escape. Perfect timing. I truly enjoy watching your vids - your definitive knowledge, calm no-nonsense delivery and tip & tricks have been a life-saver for me. Don't sweat not getting the editing done - your shop and your family are more important.
Hey! How’s it going? Do you have 1.5 or 2.0?
I would rather rebuild an engine than edit 4 hours of video, it is meticulous,time consuming and boring, truly the hardest part for anyone doing youtube
Hey, I rebuild a lot of engines and it isn't boring😂. I enjoy it.
I change mine every 20k miles. 90k miles on my 2020 Transit Connect and no problems.
Brian, I was thinking about going to a magnetic drain plug on this transmission. Do you think that would be helpful? I know most everything in the transmission is aluminum, but I'm sure there are some parts made from iron. Figured since you've got to split the transmission to change the filter every little bit would help.
You know what’s funny? In Germany, Ford says there’s lifetime oil in there and you don’t have to change the oil.
But in my case, I have the problem that the transmission often shifts very hard.
So I want to change the transmission fluid too.
Do you know if I need the ULV oil or another one? It’s a 2021 Ford Focus 1.5 Ecoblue 120 HP.
Thank you!
I don't have this vehicle, but I still watched beginning to end!
@fordtechmakuloco This also applies to Mavericks and Bronco Sports; the new guys. Owners: Listen to the man, 30k change your transmission fluid for longer life.
I’m excited for the aluminum pan video. Been wanting to do that to my f150 but I’m not sure what brand to trust.
Would you be able to measure how much fluid is drained and then refill the transmission with the same measured amount?
You could yes but who is to say the previous fluid level was set correctly?
@@FordTechMakuloco Good point!! lol I wasn’t thinking about the last guy who changed the fluid 😅
If you have a 3 year backlog of videos you might wanna look into hiring a video editor for a bit and get these caught up.
On my 2016 Ford Transit Connect after 30k miles I'm just draining and refilling trans fluid every oil change.
My 2020 escape with the 1.5 liter 3 cylinder did not have the handy filler on top of the tranny so I filled through the leveling port. Had to rig up a tube and a squeezable container to pump it in. Definitely adds a level of difficulty.
Of course you're personal life and business come first and truly appreciate any videos that you put out cheers
Thank you for the video!
Very helpful tips for my 2022 Ford Maverick 2.0 AWD!
My girlfriends 2020 Escape Titanium AWD had shudder when driving. The dealership never even mentioned that they hadn't changed the tranny fluid. They only wanted to scare her into thinking that she would need to buy another car. Thanks to some forums and this video 45 minutes of work turned a 4500 problem into a 105 dollar fix.
Best video ever for transmission fluid change. Easy and simple.. thank you
@FordTechMakuloco: Happy New Year! Thank you for all you do for the Ford community. You have helped me learn so much on my vehicles. I am grateful. I am glad you were able to get some time off and relax, very important. Keep up the great work!
@ ford tech Makuloco, on news about aftermarket parts today, channel Tom Coolen which is kick a mechanic in Canada has been cutting up parts open such as ball joints etc. and finding plastic instead of what i believe was bronze in the parts ??? Three main capital corporations now own most of our once American auto parts main one being Apollo capital on 5th ave, NYC. which now owns Moog and Fel pro. My question is he has also opened ford oem parts from newer vehicles and found the same, are ford truck ball joints made by Dana/Spicer ? and have you noticed any problems by new oem parts ?
At 60,000 miles I’m getting ready to do the second drain and fill on my wife’s 2017 edge, thanks Brian 👍😁
Big fan. You’re getting me through my 04 F150 services and maintenance. Thank you!
You should just set up a few cameras recording and hire someone who handles your vids.
Love all the videos.
Days are long and years are short. Enjoy every moment before it passes by so there are no regrets because you never get that time back.🙂
Hey Brian..hope you and family had a great New Year 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Perfect timing! Gotta do this on my Transit Connect once we're out of this arctic blast.
I understand why the trans fluid has a temp to set level (we don't all live in the same temps) but why is fords so high?
Awesome video. Gotta change our 22 Lincoln Corsair transmission fluid soon. So 5qts is at most? No filters? I know honda is the same with 30k drain and fills
All 5this because ford can.t figure out a fluid dip stick.
You know life is good when you're burnt out on vacations 👍
You know a man/mechanic has an incredible work ethic and loves his job when he gets annoyed by too many vacations. A dying breed and a rare quality to find these days. Thanks for all the videos for those of us who don't have someone like that near us.
I'm a mechanic and bust my ass 5-6 days a week, but I enjoy any time I get off. Slave mentality doesn't work for everyone even in generations past.
I'm really looking forward to that 3.5 water pump video. Good that you got a break, but also good to see you back.
Dittos on the 3.5 internal water pump! Hopefully this spring/summer Brian?
You are my favorite youtuber, don't apologize for taking time with family. I'll keep watching your videos no matter what.
I just finished a 5.43v engine swap using just your video alone.
Sadly this Trans will probably be dead at 75k... Mine was in a lightly load FTC with 90% highway mileage... $8500 to replace.... Ford said ...Sorry...
How many quarts did you end up using, approximately?
My 2022 took 6.
I'm possibly buying a Ford Focus mk4 1.5tdci with automatic transmission(A8). im pretty sure that its this 8f35. However, it has 150tkm on the clock or abit under 100k miles. Is that already a lost cause, because i doubt the previous owner has changed the oils cause its "not mandatory" even though the car has service history from a respectable dealer (in finland they are actually respectable). Should i be wary or go for it if it works well and change the oils myself now and in future? Any ideas?
Why a living plug. Simply record the fluid that came out and refill. Drive and re check fluid level.
I am so glad this showed up today. My '20 Edge just hit 40K so I will be doing this quickly. Thank you for the easy instructions.
Hi Brian. I have a 2019 Edge 2.0L AWD with 51k miles. My dealer (Folsom Ford) told me that the scheduled maintenance for the transmission is at 90K. I thought that way too long to wait, so I really appreciate your video. Why is Ford saying that this ATF will last till 90K? Seems that they are intentionally wanting us to ruin our transmission to go to them to get a new one when they do break. Seems odd to me.
Was thinking when it come's time to switching it out,....Ams oil tran fluid. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with that?
Brian, my 2019 Edge has a round plastic insert in the transmission vent which blocked the funnel.
I had to remove the neck to get the funnel into place.
Hoping these specs are the same as a 2018 Lincoln mix....thanks for the detailed vids
Do most Ford Dealers do transmission fluid changes? Ford Fusion with about 35,000 miles / without doing a flush, just a fluid change...2020 ford
Ford dealer service, say "Do'nt change the transition oil never" just fill it up, why do they say that?, your procedure is more logical Thanks
Does anyone know if 8F35 from Edge can be swapped with the 8F35 from Escape? Incompatibilities, hidden hazards?
Does the hybrid model use the same atf? Mercon ULV? 2020 ford escape hybrid..
Lesson learned on 2022 edge. This video shows him simply remove the vent plug. However, their is another "plug" I side the rubber stack that will prohibit filling. I removed the stack and added fluid. Be sure to leave the car running while you replace the leveling plug. Mine took about 6qt. Drained and filled while basically at temp -not sure if that impacts how much drains.
You would think if they recommend to change the fluid every 30,000 miles, they’d make it more convenient to do!
More proof that designers hate mechanics! 😁
Internal filter.....STUPID..what's wrong with just putting in what you take out.
I replaced a transmission on a 2022 edge with 14k miles and the fluid was already pretty dark I probably will do it every 20k if was my car
I am going to do a Trans service on my 2020 Ford Edge and will just measure how much fluid was removed and add that amount back into the transmission. No mess to clean up. No leveling plug to remove.
I know most people say to change every 30k miles, but the maintenance schedule on this says to change at 150k miles. I have a 2022 escape
great video, thank you! your attention to detail and clear explanations are fantastic!! much gratitude! I do have a question....in my situation with '20 Edge SEL, the new fluid leaks out of my funnel, when filling. I realize that it is probably me, doing something wrong....I could not pour directly in through the funnel like shown here....there is something down in the rubber fill port on top, that is restricting flow. I had to resort to hand pumping all 5 quarts, which was slow and messy. any thoughts appreciated....
Happy New Year, FordTechMakuloco

Can't wait for the next video
From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧 ⏰️ 22:46pm Good Evening
Yeah! Where have you been?
Good to see you!
Do you think the Escape is still running? I have a 2020 and just had to replaced the AWD module with only 38,000 miles and Ford would not warrant it. Would like to get rid of it but vehicles have gotten so expensive. I bought this one just before Covid started and got cash back and a very good interest rate so I don't have a lot of money into it. Wondering what is going to go wrong next.
Was it the last issue or something happened again?
Is this the same foe a 2021 bronco sport 1.5? If yes can I use a fluid extractor from the dip stick tube? (This is how i do my 2010 escap) 😊
It is really sad when you got to convert a plastic pan to a metal pan because the manufacturer cannot do it. Plastic is really killing the auto industry from Ford to Toyota it does not matter they are all using way too much plastic. Speaking about the beginning of the video when he was talking about what has been going on with him:P
Hey bro ru coming to brooklyn ant time I just perchase a 2012 navigator with lifter rattle wish you could come fix it for me ..
You put out excellent videos. Have learned a lot. Any comments on the 5.0 oil consumption issue in the f150, 2018 to 2020? Thanks for what you do. It would be nice to have your shop close to home. A good (trustworthy)mechanic is hard to find.
Thank you! I have the oil and put this off too long!! 2020 Escape AWD 2.0L 75K, bought at 50K. Already changed PTU and rear diff. Unfortunately, the AWD control module failed. I replaced it, but Ford dealer still wanted $400 to pair it with the diff module.
OK. Job done. I do not have a lift so not sure I was completely level. Removed front left tire for visibility into the leveling port. Heated up the oil in the oven to 150F to save some time. Used Forscan to monitor the temp (185F=85C). Put aluminum foil over the hose and cross member. The oil smelled completely spent. Same color as you found. Might do it again in 20k given the big initial interval.
Can't wait for the plastic oil pan swap video!
How dare you put your shop ahead of your TH-cam community. You need to get your priorities straight Buster.
So I fill the first time until it runs out of the leveling plug. Then I start the engine and fill it again directly until it runs out or do I wait until the gearbox has reached its temperature? Unfortunately, I didn't quite understand this part
How do you know when you’re at trans temperature ?
That sounds true for any first escape especially 2013 and newer. That 6f35 or whatever it is needs fluid changes 30k miles or it smokes the converter
Before starting engine, it best to reconnect air intake temp sensor so it doesn't' throw codes assuming they won't auto clear when done? Not looking to go through Forscan or drive to Advance to have them clear it.
Wow I'm definitely not buying another Ford after my fusion dies. Except for a mustang maybe some day
Thats a clean undercarriage for 20k plus and I think you said your in Illinois's. Thanks for yoir time and videos. 🍻✌️
I know where u been!!!!! Not acceptable!!! Your a youtuber frist!!.....lol
Just waiting for that 3.5 turbo coolant line fitting replacement. Mine are leaking. Some other videos out there, but yours are always the best!
It’s so funny
Just this weekend I was looking through your videos thinking I was missing them.
Glad to see your back.
But also very glad you’re putting family and shop first…
Have a great year!!!
Does anyone know if Ford fixed the torque converter issue with the 8F35 in the Edge and if so, what year was the fix made?
What's ever happen to your Lightening?
I personally thank you, your video helped me save my 6R80. You even went above and beyond by answering a couple questions. I can wait for videos ..
What bone head company would design a transmission that you can't easily change the filter? Why would you need so many gears on a car? Its not like its a semi-tractor that's towing heavy loads.
Im looking at a 2011 used f150 coyote are they gokd trucks or a truckloaf of trouble
ford really fubar'd the filter on these. nasty looking fluid. cool video,glad your back
Happy to see your new video, and I look forward to the 3.5 water pump and timing video that is upcoming!
You should thank Ford motor company for making you rich.🤑
Okay. So wierd thing happened. Did the drain (hot). About 5 qts came out. refilled 5qts. 1 qt came out. I believe I overfilled because the fluid was hot (expanded) and so looked like 5 quarts but was closer to 4quarts. Couldn't reach operating temp only got to 180-190
thanks for this info. i think i'll check the fluid level before draining, at the specified hot temperature, and engine running, to see what the factory had in there.
Good advice on torquing the drain plug. I’ve seen drain plugs drip, but never fall completely out. Better to under torque than over torque
I worked for a co that owned a fleet of F350s. We followed the mfg recommended trans service and kept having trans fail. After several years and a bunch of trans failures we hit upon the practice of filter & flush every 30K & the trams started to last the near 300K we ran these trucks. SO, thats the secret, ignore what the manual says, 30K.
!
thank you for the information, good tips and appreciated !!!
Do 2021 F150 next if possible , please . Thanks for the great videos too !
Is this going to be the exact same process for the Bronco Sport 2.0T as well?
I'm patiently waiting to see the first gen 3.5 manifolds and coolant lines as I'm needing to do that work on my truck.
Do you have a video of a ecosport 1.0 liter transmission flush?
I have a 2019 edge and am doing this now. I have the front up about 3" on blocks and jacked up the back end to level the car, but when I take out the fill plug before draining it seems like there is alot of excess fluid from the factory fill. Does Ford over-fill these sometimes? I am draining hot after driving about 15 miles. Edge isnt as easy to fill as the escape.
Figured it out, with the engine off there is more fluid in the pan thats why I saw so much come out the level plug. Was much easier for me to fill thru the level plug on the 19 edge.
These videos make me glad I dont own one of these crazy overengineered cars
