I cannot bring myself to let the dealer do a power flush on my 04 expedition with 164k miles. I just have too many visions and stories of that power flush stirring up filings and crud that was safely sitting in some corner not bothering anyone...
But the fluid has got to have lost some of its quality, and the manual says change at 150k (how to change, I don't know, since the idiots took the plug out of the torque convertor, AND put a thermostatic block on the oil lines to the cooler)
My plan is just to do some serial pan drain and refills. But if I do that. I am going to be pouring more and more fluid in there over time, so I'd hate to use expensive stuff.
What's cheapest these days? walmart? Any other ideas?
