Fluid Level Check

NOTE:

The 6F24 transmission comes prefilled, and does not require fluid checking unless there is a transmission service issue.

NOTE:

It is not necessary to check the fluid level in the 6F24 Automatic Transmission unless there are shifting issues and/or has evidence of a transmission fluid leak.

When a fluid level check on the PowerTech 6F24 transmission in an MK vehicle is required, please do not use a dipstick to verify fluid fill level. For MK vehicles with the PowerTech 6F24 transmission please use the following procedure.

  1. Connect a Scan Tool to the Diagnostic Connector under the instrument panel on the driver's side of the vehicle.
  2. Navigate to a screen to display transmission fluid temperature.
  3. Start the engine and allow it to run at idle with the transmission in Park. Keep the engine running throughout the procedure.
  4. Read the transmission oil temperature, and verify that the transmission temperature is between 50°C and 60°C (122°F and 140°F).
  5. With the engine running at idle, step on the brake pedal and perform the following shifts: Park (P) to Reverse (R), Neutral (N), Drive (D), and then back to Park. Repeat those shifts once more and stay in each shifter position for at least 2 seconds.
  6. Raise the vehicle on a suitable hoist that will keep the vehicle in a level position, front-to-rear and side-to-side. Refer to HOISTING, STANDARD PROCEDURE .

    When adding the SP-IVM fluid to the ATF insertion hole, clean the top of the differential surroundings. Do not allow any foreign material (water, dirt, etc.) to enter the 6F24 transmission.

  10. Open the hood and locate the differential access hole on the top of the differential (3). Add 700mL of SP-IVM fluid to the transmission through the differential access hole.
  11. Install the plug (1) and gasket (2) into the fluid level check port (3). Tighten to the proper specification. Refer to SPECIFICATIONS .
  12. Install the belly pan. Refer to BELLY PAN, INSTALLATION .
    NOTE:

    When Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is totally exchanged or the transmission is overhauled, fill 7 liters after it is drained totally through the oil drain hole. Refer to FLUID, STANDARD PROCEDURES . Then repeat above procedure " 4" to " 12". At this time, install a NEW  drain plug gasket.

  13. Lower vehicle.
