How do you check the transmission fluid on a 2014 Ford Flex?
Find the transmission dipstick, which is usually brightly colored and toward the back of the engine. Remove the dipstick, being careful not to spill or drip any fluid. Wipe off the dipstick with a clean rag, just as you would do when checking the engine oil.
When to change PTU oil in Ford Flex?
More fluid would improve the overall life expectancy of the PTU itself and help maintain the viability of the fluid over a longer period of time. Secondly, Ford should require regular maintenance of fluid in the PTU, perhaps every 30-45k if not sooner, enabled with the help of a drain plug.
What kind of oil does a Ford Flex use?
Mine has reached the 45k mark and should be closer to 48k by the time I change it. I plan on using Amsoil Severe Gear 75W-140 in the PTU and 75W-110 in the rear, although Ford only specifies 75W-90. There’s even less fluid called for in the rear.

Where is the fill plug on a Ford Flex?
After jacking up all four corners (to keep the car level) and removing the right front wheel, I could see the fill plug directly behind the O2 sensor for the passenger side catalytic converter. The plug is designed to take a 3/8 extension from a socket wrench and comes out quite easily.
What kind of lube does a Ford Flex use?
It holds a measly 18oz of Ford Motorcraft 75w-140 synthetic gear lube. It is an aluminum assembly and it does have ribs on the rear to help with cooling.
