Ford Explorer Automatic vs Manual Transmission

Manual transmission fluid or gear oil is thicker due to additives and additional compounds main to lubricate the gearbox and additional components. Manual transmissions have a higher friction environment due to the way gears are changed, thus the lubricant is disparate.

Not only are the fluids grand between manual and automatic transmissions but the level of heat the fluids experience is very grand. Automatic transmissions generate a lot more heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be interchanged more consistently.

You should consistently 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 extraordinarily hard to do. Call or visit David McDavid Ford for more information if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick.
