Thanks for the replies, let me start off with this. To date I have not seen ANY UOA's for ANY Ford PTU units. Ford uses the same PTU unit for the ford fusions, escapes, and edge SUV's. To change the fluid, i insert refridgerator tubing through the fill hole and manually pump out the fluid. Ford...

Here is the second go round with draining/filling the PTU/Transfer Case in my 2012 Ford Fusion Sport AWD. The results of the initial drain can be found HERE: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubb...PTU#Post3257204 As you can see the most notable difference is the decrease in iron (a good...

I'm surprised that they agreed to do it! I went to three different dealers to ask them to do the work, I showed them schematics, and said all I wanted done was for them to pump out the old stuff and pump in the new stuff. All of the dealers came back at me with a canned "this unit is sealed for...

It would make sense to tie it into the transmission and use ATF, i mean its literally attached directly to the transmission.. I would think that it would be a pretty simple to do so? I too have heard that the main issue leading to PTU failures are the seals. But one has to wonder why seals...

Originally Posted By: Hokiefyd I am surprised that the fluid sounds that trashed. Even the PTO isn't terribly loaded. True the propeller shaft is always spinning, but it's under relatively low stress. I changed the fluid in our Acura's PTO (75W-90) for the first time with about 80k miles on it...

Since I have a Fusion Sport, I dont have the 6F35 in my car. My transmission is manufacturered by Aisin Model#AWF21. It is REALLY easy to drain and fill this transmission (6F35 is easy too). My transmission also has a lifetime fill desination, but i had a drain and fill done. UOA can be found Here

Thats great that It has lasted you that long! I can only imagine what the condition of the fluid is afer 145k when mine was so horrible at 44k... If you take pics or do a UOA I would be really curious to see what it looks like. I'm actually surprised to see that it lasted you that lon without a...

Originally Posted By: Miller88 The PTU just attaches to the transmission where the axle shaft would on a FWD model, right? That fluid is nasty! How hard was it to drain and refill the PTU? I'm going to have to do this on my parents' Focuscape. Same PTU and rear differential as your fusion...

Originally Posted By: Hokiefyd Sounds very similar to the AWD system on our two cars, especially our Acura. The PTO is simply a 1:1 hypoid gear that turns the output from the transaxle 90 degrees. The propeller shaft spins at the same speed as the transaxle. The rear differential will "clutch"...

Back in early 2012 I purchased a 2012 Ford Fusion Sport AWD and did quite a bit of research regarding the PTU (transfer case) and the rear differential on this vehicle. I found out that per Ford’s recommendation in the service manual that the PTU and Rear Differential fluid were not to be...

I notice MPG gains on my Fusion Sport when I use premium, nothing ridiculous but its definitely repeatable. My best power\MPG gains are when I use non-ethanol gasoline.

Here is a LINK to the pdf of the UOA, sorry I forgot to post that. I did notice that copper was a little high. Blackstone is saying everything is good to go but from the poking around I've done around here looking at other peoples UOA's I feel like it should be better. My first two oil changes...

Hey folks, as you noticed from the title, I drive a 2012 Ford Fusion Sport AWD. It gets a mix of HWY\City but mostly highway miles. I do tend to drive it a bit faster\aggressively than the general population but nothing excessive. One thing notable in this UOA compared to the last is the...

whatever it was it was too much for what they did, i think it was around $100 bucks including the cost of the fluid and labor. They also agreed to save a sample without giving me grief so that was good. If you have a car with a drain plug like mine, its probably no more difficult than changing...

I had my first ATF service done in August on the factory fill, here are the results. The Car is a 2012 Ford Fusion Sport AWD, this car uses an Aisin transmission in case anyone wants to know. They spec some funny kind of ATF from what I understand so I let the dealer do their thing. On a side...

I have used a few different cleaners and lubricants. My favorite cleaner is MPRO7, that stuff just kills carbon build up and doesn't stink up the house like hoppes does. As far as lubricants go, hoppes was the most disappointing. Aside from it having the consistency of water, the stuff...
