I bought my Expedition with 40k miles on it. It now has 60k on it. I checked the transmission fluid when I got it and it didn't seem burnt. It still looks red and doesn't smell. I want to do the flush that I've read about online. It involves draining the pan, removing the pan, replacing filter, and then flushing. They say remove the return from the cooler and pump it out and refill as you go. I think it says run it until you see some air bubbles. Another said he did 5 quarts at a time. I was thinking of doing 2 or 3 quarts then stop and replace it. I guess it takes about 16 to 18 to do it. I would buy 20 quarts.
Trans is 4r100. 2000 EB 5.4l. Anyone done this? It looks pretty easy. I am a little nervous about dropping the pan and doing the filter. I don't have any bad symptoms right now. This is just preventive. Any other tricks? I looks like Ford is now saying to use the Mercon/Mercon V fluid instead of just Mercon in this transmisssion. What would you use? I don't know if regular Mercon is readily available...
