Questions About 1985 Ford F-250’s Transmission

Regularly checking and exchanging your 1985 F-250’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Ford, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Ford F-250? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Ford F-250, potentially causing transmission problems.
