Hi everyone,
Need some advice... My 2013 Fusion (2.5 L engine) has 137K miles on it. I ran the factory fill transmission fluid 90K miles and had it "flushed" with BG Full Synthetic (314) about three years ago. I planned to have that fluid replaced now (with 50K miles on the fluid). I've had no problems with the transmission so far.
I brought it in to a local mechanic for an oil change and asked to also have the transmission fluid changed (either a full exchange or drain and fill). He said that it's been too long since the last service, and recommended not flushing it. I asked if he recommended a drain and fill, and he said he didn't recommend that either. I was surprised by this as I thought I had serviced it appropriately.
I'm curious if others agree with his recommendation to not change the fluid, or not.
Thanks!
