[Ranger #1]

Hello friends, just wondering how many miles should you change your tranmission oil ,flush and filter on a ford ranger 2.3L from 2019-2024, just needing to know for future reference lol mine is still in the break in process, I've been told by Seaford dealers from 30k to 100k ,I want this tranmission to last 250k or more, it's the 10R60 transmission! Thanks

According to Ford, the 10R60 in my RR is recommended for a transmission fluid change at 150K miles.

As a retired Ford tech and with a similar desire to keep transmissions going for a long time, 50k should not be exceed in a modern transmission. Being solenoid shift with mini filter screens and very close tolerances in the valve body you don't want to wait too long. The first change at 30k, once the break-in particulate is complete isn't unreasonable. Then do the fluid and filter at around 100k.

Thanks for the reply, ok so 30k to start of then 50k after, i mean 50k each time after,I'm not going to horse whip or pull trailers, I'm driving with a lite foot on the gas! My pickup only has 1050 miles so far

I think I'm going to flush, replace filter, at 30k, then at 80k then 130k etc:

That is the best way to ensure smooth operation for years to come. Changing the filter every 50k maybe overkill but every 100k is sufficient. A lot depends obviously on how you use it but those frequencies are good for the average owner. Personally, eventually I would but a tranny pan with a drain plug to make the job so much easier. That way you don't have to drop the pan for your fluid changes. I should have added that at that first 30k change, do the filter to ensure all break-in debris has been removed.

Service intervals are written by Ford corporate withe main idea isn't longevity, they just need to get it out of the warranty period. Their goal is to show the EPA and government climate watchdogs how little waste there is and low cost of maintenance. Even dealerships will knowingly deviate from these intervals knowing it is not the best for their customers. Whenever in doubt, follow the severe duty intervals regardless how you drive , that is what's best for your vehicle.

Thanks for the reply back ,yeah I'm just going to do what I said earlier 30k fresh oil flush filter and at 80k etc it only cost about 400 at this ONE HONEST Ford dealership and that's everything, ok this is a 10R60 tranmission, which is the better tranny what aluminum pans will fit this tranmission ,I cant find one that specifically says 10R60 will the 10R80 pans fit ,if not what pan will fit this tranny, I've got the 2024 ranger 2.3 ecoboost, thanks!!

Ya, the 10R80 and 10r60 are almost identical. So a 10R80 pan should fit a 24 Ranger 10R60. However, I haven't bought one yet so please question your seller and do some research just to be sure. Internally they use that same overhaul procedure and the pans were the same. However that doesn't mean Ford could have done something goofy. Research to be sure.
