Hey guys. I just picked up a 3.5L EcoBoost PI with 86k and 1600 idle hours. The trans fluid, coolant and rear diff fluid were changed recently by the previous owner but not the PTU fluid. It has a "cooled PTU' I think since I can see a temp sensor thing + heat shield.
The plan is to do the vent hose fill method, but I can't get any sort of real grip or reach on the vent cap. I've pulled and twisted a bit but worried about pulling the vent tube off the PTU unit itself. I can't even get pliers down there.
What do I need to take out of the way in order to get at it? I've taken off the intake hose and air box but there are other things in the way. I'm a newbie to the EcoBoost, I've owned 4.6 2v cars for my entire driving life.
