★ Top Answer
In the 2010 Ford Escape, you should use Dexron VI transmission fluid. It's advised to replace your transmission fluid every 80,000 miles. If you neglect this maintenance, you could be circulating metal shavings and other impurities, leading to a reduced lifespan for your transmission. It's crucial to monitor the fluid level between scheduled maintenance checks. Running low on transmission fluid can result in improper shifting or even failure of the transmission. To check the fluid level, warm up the engine, keep it running, and shift the transmission into park before pulling out the dipstick.
