How do you change transmission fluid on a ford f250 2005?

Answer 1

first thing is to secure the van by chocking the wheels and setting the parking brake. Crawl under the van with a ratchet, extension and a 1/2" socket. Take the bolts loose on the trans pan. Put your drain pan under it. Now it gets messy. With the bolts loose, not completely out, pry the pan loose from the trans. Oil will come out. Take the bolts out on one side and catch all the oil you can. take the rest out tilting the pan as you go toward the drain pan. The last couple of bolts will have to be remover with one hand while you hold the pan up with the other. take the pan completely off and drain it and clean it. Remove the old gasket. the filter is attached to the trans with a small bolt. Remove it and replace it with the new one. Install the new gasket on the pan and use a few bolts in the corners to hold it in place. Don't use silicone! Bolt the pan in place and add 5 quarts on trans fluid and your ready. Check for leaks and fluid level before you take it for a ride.
