You BETTER be sure the RedLine fluid is compatible with the Ford required fluid.

Agreed. These new transmissions don't take kindly to some random fluid.

Just ask any Mazda or Volvo owner that stuck standard transmission oil in a box requiring jws3309.

Transmission fluid, windshield washer fluid, fluid, fluid, fluid....it's all the same in my book. Just put some Marvel Mystery Oil in it and you'll be fine.

It could be beneficial to get break in material out using an early drain and fill and filter change. Some will disagree and that is their opinion.

Cool GGM, does this mean you still have access to Ford's on-line service manuals? Is your log on still good? That would be cool.

I don't have any access to the Ford stuff anymore. This was from a file I save a while back.

Logo is obsolete now.
