When it's time to change the transmission oil in your Ford Transit Connect, there are steps you need to follow. Start by getting the right type of ATF-TYPE MV or Dexron Vi automatic transmission fluid for your van. Locate the transmission and drain plug underneath the vehicle to drain the old fluid into a container. Replace the drain plug with a new washer and bolt, ensuring a proper seal. Refill the transmission with fresh fluid from the engine compartment, and check the level using the dipstick. Start the vehicle and shift through the gears before checking the fluid level again and topping off if necessary.
When changing the gearbox oil in a Ford Transit Connect, shift to fourth gear and locate two plugs - one at the front and one at the rear underneath. It's recommended to raise the car up for easier access. Fill the gearbox with 75w90 oil until it reaches the top and stops overflowing, then secure the filling plug back in place.
