[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 1577785, member: 35543"] Not recommended. Flushing can dislodge debris from the filter/pan and contaminate the valve body, leading to sticking valves and transmission damage. Here's Ford's published position: SYSTEM FLUSHES vs. FLUID EXCHANGE The following should be understood related to the topic of engine, transmission, steering and fuel system fluid flushing services: ▪ Demonstrating to a customer that specific fluids should be changed because of a change in their color is a misleading practice. Darkening of many fluids is normal in most cases. ▪ If flushing is required in conjunction with a transmission component repair, the dealership should perform a transmission fluid exchange with only the recommended transmission fluid. Use of chemical transmission flushes can damage the vehicle's transmission. ▪ Utilizing fluid exchange equipment is acceptable as long as Ford approved fluids are used. ▪ Fuel injection and diesel Exhaust Gas Recirculation system flushing is not considered scheduled maintenance by Ford Motor Company. Should the fuel injection system require cleaning to resolve a specific condition, chemicals meeting Ford requirements are recommended, such as Motorcraft Premium Fuel Injector Cleaner, Motorcraft Pressurized Injector Cleaner or Motorcraft Power Flush Injector Fluid. ▪ Ford Motor Company does not recommend flushing of Power Steering Fluid. ▪ Engine oil system flushing is not a Ford Motor Company approved maintenance procedure and is considered an unnecessary expense to your customers. If it is determined that internal engine cleaning is needed, replace the Motorcraft engine oil and filter with owner’s manual specified products. Use of chemical/crankcase flushes can damage the vehicle's engine. ▪ Dealers should reference the scheduled maintenance guide and workshop manual when determining which fluids need exchanging.
