2016 Ford Escape/2.0L/6F35

[Joeforester]

I have a 2016 Ford escape with the 2.0L Ecoboost engine and I must say it is peppy.It has a 6 speed auto that with "normal" service should be serviced every I believe 125,000 miles.Severe service is 30,000.I read that the transmission filter is internal and can not be service unless you pull apart the transmission and to change the fluid regardless of use every 30K.My question is can this transmission last past 100K with regular maintenance even though the filter can't be changed?I know it's not a simple drain/refill.The temp of transmission must be correct.Has anyone tried to change their own fluid in the 6F35?Thanks Joe

Nope, it looks like you're gonna be the BITOG Beta tester for this transmission. Please let us know how you are doing.

My mom has that trans and engine combo on her 2014 Fusion. The side cover of the trans was leaking at the first oil change so it got a fluid change under warranty.

Wait... what? At least 90% of cars on the road get NO transmission maintenance, and many of those transmissions go 200k miles on the factory fill.

There is a valve in the pump that has been failing causing torque converter lock up concerns

The 6F35 in my daughter's 2015 Escape went south just over 13k mi. - you can find the Damage Report here . . .

Looks like I'll be doing a 'drain and fill' every 25k mi. - stay tuned . . .
