What is the best way to maintain the transmission in a Ford S-Max?

I have a Ford S-Max from 2012 and I want to make sure the transmission stays in top shape. I'm not sure how often I should change the transmission fluid or if there are any specific maintenance tasks I should be aware of. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Sandy, it's great that you are taking proactive measures to maintain your Ford S-Max. Based on Ford's recommendations, it is recommended to change the transmission fluid every 30,000-60,000 miles. However, if you frequently engage in activities such as towing or off-roading, it may be beneficial to change the fluid more frequently.

Hi there, Sandy! In addition to changing the fluid, it's important to regularly inspect the transmission for any leaks or damage. Also, make sure to follow your vehicle's maintenance schedule for other transmission related tasks such as adjusting the drive belt tension and inspecting the linkage.

Hey Sandy, it's important to also pay attention to any strange noises or vibrations coming from your transmission. These could be signs of a potential issue that should be addressed immediately to avoid any further damage.
