2012 Ford F-450 Automatic vs Manual Transmission
Automatic and manual transmission will frequently require an assortment of different fluids. Automatic transmission fluids are typically thinner and are frequently red or green in color. Manual transmission fluid or gear oil is more burly and thicker due to additives and other critical compounds necessary to lubricate the gearbox and other components. Manual transmissions have a higher friction environment due to the way gears are changed, thus the lubricant is immensely different.
Not only are the fluids different between manual and automatic transmissions but the level of heat the fluids experience is tremendously different. Automatic transmissions generate substantial heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be changed more ordinarily. If you don't change your 2012 Ford F-450 transmission fluid, your transmission will have perilous broken metal shavings and other corrosive material spread throughout the important components of your 2012 Ford F-450. You should ordinarily check the fluid levels between your fluid and transmission flush service intervals. In many cases, manual transmissions don't come equipped with a dipstick to check your fluid levels, so it can be exceedingly difficult to do. Call or visit David McDavid Ford for more data if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick.
