- Unfortunately this isn’t a how to more of a PSA to Service your transmission! 24k miles on my explorer and it was starting to lag when shifting. The transmission fluid was dirty! Now please keep in mind I drive my car harder than probably 90% of Explorer owners with well over 100 track passes and dozens and dozens of trans brake launches. Guys please service your transmission and for the love of god don’t mix fluids. Thank you everyone for all the continued love and support of my channel it truly means the world to me 🙏❤️

Am sitting at the Ford dealer right now after buying a used platinum with 60k miles and no record of transmission service. Asked for a full flush through the cooler lines. They pumped it out through the fill hole and put fluid back…had to send it back and clarify again that it should be over 13 quarts and should be a complete fluid swap with an inlet and an outlet connected. Saw the techs struggling to figure out how to connect the machine lol called your shop to see why that would be the case and they told me it takes a specific connector. Still, it’s crazy that a Ford dealer doesn’t have the tools or knowledge to get this particular service done right.
I've mixed them and have done 27k miles. ULV by it self burns it self out to fast. But the half and half has my transmission shifting smoother then the day I got a new pan and filter with ULV. Done 100+ passes down the 1/8th and street in 9 months.
Good to know, mine dropped .4 seconds off its quarter from just being properly filled and having the fresh fluid in it.
I just did this myself and swapped the plastic OEM pan for a PPE aluminum pan which holds 4 more quarts. This job was a massive pain but the difference in shifting was noticeable.
I have a b&m pan sitting in my garage I’ll be changing it out eventually 😅
I got my EXST trans serviced by 1320 😢…. I love the info you keep giving us!
Mike we apperciate the opportunity, if you are concerned we would be happy to send you a oil analysis to test your fluid.
Again man there could be potentially no issues at all….the issues isn’t the ULV it’s the mixing the two fluids. Again probably won’t be an issue at all. In fact the 10 speeds are in more than just fords and Chevy even calls for a different ULV than ford does for the same transmission. I just didn’t want to mix them myself and was a couple quarts short from completely swapping over it amsoil fluid
PRO TIP: Upshifting and downshifting with the paddle shifters is useful in getting the trans up to temp faster. More gear shifts = faster trans warmup. Probably cuts warmup time on my ST in half (or so) 👍🏼 To clarify: upshift and downshift MORE FREQUENTLY than the trans would shift on its own naturally…
I’ll definitely have to try that man!
Are you planning on doing a downpipes jnstall? That is what i have been waiting for.
Yes sir I have a lot more planned for this year 🫡😁
Nice shirt 👕 👌
Thank you 🙏 I got it from Ashley Brewington on instagram 😁
I'm local to Houston, where do you say it would be good to take the ST to get the transmission fluid changed?
I’m over on the northeast side of town, Kingwood, Atascocita area. The shop is kings crossing car care and express lube. Give them a call and ask for Micheal mizler to do the work 😁
Hi i have a 2021 ford explorer st..i want to buy transmission fluid…Mercon ulv is the correct one..? I dont have the book manual…i bought this ford use with 49,000 miles on it..
Yeah Mercon ULC is the correct one 😁
What’s the name of the shop that you use In Houston I’m in the area?? Thanks for the great content.
Kings Crossing car care express lube in Kingwood ask for Michael Mizler when you go to get the work done and let him know I sent you. He’s a great friend of mine.
Its hilarious to me that this is your "wifes" car. I just imagine her getting in it to go to somewhere and its stiffer and faster each time. Shes taking a full on drag car to Starbucks at this point. 😂
Lmao you aren’t lying 😂😂 I got her, her dream truck so it’s officially mine now 😅
Ahh okay 😂 I saw your update in your latest oil change video. I've been watching all your videos from oldest to newest because I am going to pick up a 25 when they hit the dealers. You think the tuners, exhausts, and other parts will fit right up on the new ones?
Did u also have the filter changed or just a flush?
Just a trans flush
I bought the P3 vent gauge you recommended. Fairly easy to install. I have the gauge set on transmission temp as well.
If tran temp goes over 215 degrees is it time to stop driving it and have it checked out? When does temp become a problem?
I live in Virginia, do you recommend allowing a Ford shop to flush the fluid? Or can any shop flush it -especially since it requires a FULL FLUSH.
Thanks for your channel. 2020 Ford Explorer 2.3 Liter rwd Limited. Unfortunately, at 20,000 miles my 10r60 7 to 6 gear shift was giving a hard thump. Under warranty, FORD shop replaced parts.. clutches were burned up due to a snap ring failure I think. Since repair it seems to running well. Watching temp now with P3 gauge to hopefully helpbprevent any future issues.
Great channel... Thanks
Signed - non-racer, just an Explorer guy that wants to protect his investment.
P.S. I wish the limited showed what gear you are in, I think the ST displays that info on the dash.
P.S. be nice if the P3 gauge displayed what gear the trans is in.
If your in sport mode atleast on the explorer ST it shows what gear you’re in 😅
And if just like to say thank you for watching my videos man truly means a lot ❤️
And no sir I see temps over 215 occasionally it will come down pretty quick from there. Any shop can do it if they have the proper equipment. But I’d highly recommend taking it to a place that’s familiar with the explorers. Or atleast familiar with the 10 speeds.
If you find a shop post up with my luck it could be nearby-I'm in Williamsburg VA
Does the flush include a filter change?
It doesn’t but I’m sure if you wanted to do a filter change then a flush that could possibly work. But the fact this machine uses the factory pump in the transmission to move the old fluid out and the new in you’d have a chance of running it dry because you have to take the pan off to get to the filter. So I’m not sure the order they would take in order to do that
