The fluid operates under almost ideal conditions in what is essentially a hermetically sealed case, the small amount of atmospheric oxygen initially present is removed by a harmless reaction with the fluid so as to leave a residual inert nitrogen atmosphere. The best solution is to have the fluid changed every 30,000 or 60,000 miles. Now start the car and let it run for a few minutes.

The fluid specification was revised again in 1958, 1959, and 1960. The kit is available as a separate unit. Bring the car down from the ramps and you are good to go. Developed to help prevent leaks, maximize transmission performance, reduce transmission wear, and maintain smooth shifting longer than conventional fluids.

It was first put into production in 1993 and was phased out of production in 1995.
Additionally, a better system of automatic transmission fluid distribution and marketing was necessary for the long term success of the automatic transmission. Transmissions need vents to compensate for internal air pressure changes that occur with fluctuating fluid temperatures and fluctuating fluid levels during transmission operation. Will clean the metal screen of the valve body also while the pan is down. Type F was designed for Fords that used bronze clutches; the last trans made with bronze clutches was the Cruizematic, last used in the early '70s. It is formulated with full-synthetic, premium base oils, long-life friction modifiers, unique anti-wear additives and shear stable viscosity modifiers that help prevent oil film breakdown.

You will want to in a location that gets good airflow when the vehicle is in motion.
The main case assembly is finally complete after disassembling and reassembling for the umpteenth time to get the end float exactly right.
