CD4E Oil change
This is a guide of how to change the oil in the 4 speed automatic transmission, CD4E.
Introduction to the CD4E
Warning - wrong fluid level
Special attention should be taken to fill correct amount of fluid. If the fill level is too high, transmission components may cause the fluid to foam. If fluid level is too high, excess fluid must be removed. Foaming happens because the gears in the transmission picks up the oil and mix it with air. Foamed oil causes variable operating pressure, with the following consequences:
- harsh/delayed shifts or engagements — damage to the clutch material — incorrect torque converter operation — fluid emission from the vent
If the fluid level is too low the transmission operation will have the following malfunctions: — slipping — delayed engagement — damage to transmission components
If the fluid level is too low, fluid must be added. Low levels may also indicate that a leak.
Specifications
Oil type: Ford specification ESP-M2C166-H Capacity: 7.5 liters Refill capacity: 3.6 liters (remaining 2.9 liters stays in the torque converter and the filter)
Fluid level check
If the vehicle has been operating for an extended period at high speeds or in city traffic during hot weather or pulling a trailer, the engine should be turned off for about 30 minutes to allow the fluid to cool before checking.
The fluid levels should preferably be checked at operating temperature (60-70ºC) after a drive of approx. 30 km. If necessary, it is also possible to check the fluid levels without driving 30 km, provided the ambient temperature is above 10ºC.
With the vehicle on a level surface, start the engine and move the transmission range selector lever through all of the gear ranges, allowing sufficient time for each position to engage. Engage the transmission range selector lever in the PARK position, fully set the parking brake and leave the engine running at idle.
Wipe off the fluid level indicator cap, pull the fluid level indicator out and wipe clean. Put the fluid level indicator back into the guide tube and make sure it is seated properly. Pull out the fluid level indicator and read the fluid level.
When checking the fluid levels at operating temperature (60-70ºC), the fluid level should be in the shaded range on the dipstick. When the vehicle has been driven, and the outside temperature is above 10 ºC, the fluid level should be between the hole and the lower edge of the shaded area on the fluid level indicator.
Add fluid
CAUTION: Use of any fluid other than that specified could result in transmission malfunction or failure.
Before adding any fluid, be sure that the correct type (ESP-M2C166-H) will be used.
Add transmission fluid through the filler tube in amounts of 0,25 l, each time checking the fill level on the fluid dipstick. Drain automatic transmission fluid if too much is filled.
