How do you know if you need a Transmission Fluid Change or Transmission Flush?

2017 Ford F-450 Automatic vs Manual Transmission
Automatic and manual transmission will regularly require a variety of different fluids. Automatic transmission fluids are usually thinner and are regularly red or green in color. Manual transmission fluid or gear oil is more stout and thicker due to additives and other vital 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 very different. Automatic transmissions generate considerable heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be changed more normally. If you don't change your 2017 Ford F-450 transmission fluid, your transmission will have unpredictable broken metal shavings and other corrosive material spread throughout the critical parts of your 2017 Ford F-450. You should normally 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 remarkably difficult to do. Call or visit David McDavid Ford for more advice if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick.
