Does transmission fluid need to be changed?

Transmission fluid (also known as gearbox oil) is used to lubricate the components of a vehicle's transmission for optimum performance. In vehicles with automatic transmissions, this fluid also acts as a coolant. 

The transmission fluid should be changed as per the service recommendations for your specific vehicle. Ford recommends visiting your local dealership to have transmission fluid checked.
