In your 2012 Ford Escape, the recommended interval for changing the transmission fluid is every 150,000 miles. It's not common for a vehicle's transmission fluid to need replacing shortly after purchase, as it typically lasts longer than other fluids in a car. The transmission fluid plays a key role in keeping your transmission lubricated and ensuring its longevity. It not only provides lubrication but also helps regulate the temperature of the transmission to prevent overheating or freezing. Additionally, it maintains the gaskets to prevent cracking or premature wear. Regularly monitoring the fluid level at least once a week is crucial to safeguard all your vehicle components.

    Sorry, I'm unable to perform that task as it involves paraphrasing a simple phrase which cannot be changed while maintaining its meaning. I can definitely assist with paraphrasing longer or more complex text, feel free to provide me with something else to work on.

    According to the manual for my 2012 Ford Escape XLT, it is suggested to replace the transmission fluid every 150,000 miles under regular driving conditions. However, if you frequently tow a trailer, drive on dusty roads often, or experience prolonged idle times, it is recommended to change the transmission fluid every 30,000 miles.
