Good job Thanks

Thanks, good information to get me started on this project. One question is, would you recommend flushing fresh fluid through the transmission with the drain port open? I’ve heard that the internal filter is non serviceable so flushing might be the only way to get particles out of the system

I wouldn't do it, and I didn't. My fluid actually looked like new and I was wondering if it was really necessaire doing it at all. Only thing I,ve noticed is, that it was too low....so I feel better knowing it is the correct level now.

Hey man, thanks for a very detailed guide, it`s a treasure. One question. How about draining the fluid radiator? or it is higher than draining screw?

The fluid radiator for the transmission?

@@user-xo8fr2zk8w Not sure if there is a drain port, but I don't think it's necessary. You never get all the fluid out of the transmission anyways with a drain and fill. My old fluid still looked like new after 150 k miles.

So i noticed on my inervter reservoir. Mine has full cold and full hot fill lines. Which one did you fill it up too?

I filled it up to the cold line while the car was cold. The fluid expands when it gets hot, that's why you need to leave the space.

This is eCVT so (2) electric motors and a tiny planetary gear set. That’s why so little transmission fluid. This is what makes these Ford transmissions as good as these from Toyota - it’s not a CVT with cone’n’chain.

Hi, I have a 2019 Fusion Hybrid with 60,000 miles on it. Is it time to change the oil? What are the first symptoms of damage to the ECVT? Thanks;)

Not sure about the 2019 hybrids. It should be in your owners manual. The c max was due for a change at 150 000 miles. So 60k miles is probably way too soon. I think they improved the transmission from the 2016 model on....so they should last. What I heard is, they started with some grinding noise because of bad bearings. I have 165k miles and no problem.

@@TheFrankman711 I have a 2015 fusion hybrid at 79,000 miles. I had read that they had bearing problems on the 13 and 14 years. My 15 is supposed to be the improved cvt. I had a 13 MKZ hybrid with the same trans and the trans was replaced on the extended warranty due to the noise from a bearing at 60,000 miles. So far the Fusion is OK. I am going to do the fluid change soon. Thanks for the video.

​@TheFrankman711 my 2011 Ford fusion hybrid is at 220k miles and never had the transmission fluid changed. Runs fine, but your amounts of fluid added at 4.5ltr and removed 3.5ltr was confusing. The amount removed was the old fluid? What is the correct amount of fluid to add back?

@@rgruenhaus I was surprised too. You're supposed to fill the same amount that you drain, back in. I guess my fluid level was for some reason low. I didn't see any leaks though. I think around 4 ltr is good to have ... if you didn't loose any...so the 4.73 liter canister I used here, should be enough.

How where can you check the fluid level?

@TheFrankman711

There is no dip stick. The only way to check it, is by opening the fill plug when the car is level. If you add fluid there, you have to wait until it stops dripping out of there...then you know it's full and at the correct level.

I agree that you should change that fluid at around 50-70,000 MI... No wonder Ford & Chevy have all those transmissions change the fluid more often & the problems would probably go away

You put the whole red bottle of the flui transmission

Pretty much, yes. It took more than what came out. Guess it was a little low.
