The 2017 Ford Fusion requires Dexron VI Transmission Fluid with a 10-quart capacity to ensure smooth operation. Similar to oil, transmission fluid is a lubricant that helps protect the transmission components from heat-induced damage. To check the fluid level, wipe the dipstick clean, insert it back in, and then pull it out to gauge the level. The average cost for a transmission fluid change for your Fusion is around $110 to $130 for labor, with parts costing approximately $90. It is recommended to change the transmission fluid every 150,000 miles. Warning signs that it's time for a change include grinding noises from the transmission, difficulty shifting gears, slipping during gear changes, sudden surges, and delays in vehicle movement after shifting into gear.
