A drain-and-fill replaces only part of the fluid, while an exchange replaces most of the systems fluid; the right choice depends on fluid condition and service history.

We start with an inspection on your 2010 Ford Escape to determine contamination level, color/odor, and any debris. If the fluid is moderately aged, a drain-and-fill may be appropriate; if heavily degraded, an exchange is often considered. Well review options with you before work begins.

• Ask independents to document fluid spec and method
• Compare estimates and warranty on workmanship

Nocontinuing to drive with slipping or harsh shifts can quickly turn a minor service into a major repair.
