The 2011 Ford F-250 requires Dexron VI automatic transmission fluid with an 8.2-quart capacity. Similar to oil, transmission fluid acts as a lubricant to protect the transmission components from heat damage. The cost for a transmission fluid change on your F-250 ranges between $500 and $550 for both labor and parts. It's recommended to have the transmission fluid changed every 15,000 miles or 12 months. Signs that indicate the need for a fluid change include a grinding noise from the transmission, difficulty shifting gears, slipping during gear changes, sudden surges, and a delay in movement after shifting into gear.
The recommended transmission fluid for a 2011 Ford F250 is DEXRON VI.
