According to the manufacturer, the 2015 Ford Explorer should use Dexron VI ATF as the recommended transmission fluid. To ensure the transmission operates at its best, it is advised to have the automatic transmission fluid and filter changed and flushed every 60,000 miles. If you regularly tow heavy loads such as a trailer with the vehicle, it is recommended to service the transmission every 45,000 miles. This is crucial in preventing gear slippage and other potential transmission issues that could lead to serious damage. Using low-quality transmission fluid can result in inadequate lubrication of the gears, causing metal-on-metal grinding and contamination of the fluid with metal debris. The cost for the transmission fluid ranges from $7 to $10 per quart, depending on the quality and brand of the fluid.
