Regular ATF every year! I do not care what the manual states. It does not last long at all in an MTX. IMO a significant reason for all the syncro failures is runing burned up fluid following Ford's "recommendations".

Synthetic ATF - every 2 years or 30k (My Mobil 1 with FM was "thrashed" after 2 years and maybe 25k)

Manual gear oil:

Ford Honey or Redline about every 3 years or 45k. (I changed my MTL after ~13k - had tranny out - and it looked brand new)


Now my miles are harder then most.



How do you judge the fluids ?? By appearance ?
