6k mi MotorGuard M100 Filter Change (Ford 5R110)

[A310]

6000 miles on this roll and looks like the day I installed it. Replace, add 1 qrt and repeat. Happy 5R110.

Nice! That's gonna be one long-lasting trans valve body.

Yeah, it's the trifecta of atf filtering, I am sure the depth of the Motor Guard can handle it all on it's own.

Thanks for posting the "TP" filter. If you're replacing 1 qt every 6k then why not just get it all changed at once? I know that may not be any fun.

That's neat. It would be interesting to take a section of that filter and inspect it under a powerful microscope. I'll bet there are plenty of particulates trapped.

True, I have a filter fetish.

That's what I've done in the past, but now going to see how well 6-10,000 mile filter changes work. I drained the fluid at 50,000 miles after having issues with intermittent torque convertor unluck issues. That solved the issue, so going to keep the fluids super clean.

I don't blame you on that one. Especially if the clean fluid was the remedy. How many miles on the Ford transmission now?

Very true.

I'm not sure to be honest. It's a $300.00 transmission from an auction to run as a test unit for the Detroit swap. I've now got 75,000 miles on it and runs so well I just kept it in service. The original 5R110 is still in my shop.

Doing that every 10k, I’d think that’s all you’d ever need to do. Those TP filters keep the fluid almost clean as new and 1qt added every 10k is keeping it replenished.

Thanks, that's probably what I'll do.

Other than the manual valve, there are no valves in the valve body. Just solenoids. There are several valves in the pump, however. The valves that wear there are due to being pulse width modulated. (always moving) The manual valve wears, too. And that's due to side loading from pressure.
