So I'm about to do my second oil change since acquiring my 2015 SHO and want to do a transmission drain and fill as well.

I picked up 6qts of Ford Mercon LV at my local auto parts store.

Are there any " how to " threads (bdp1151 maybe :) ) here or over at the ecoboost forum ?

I couldn't find much on youtube :(

THANKS

I didn't find a how to but it was pretty easy when I did it (first time also). On the bottom of the transmission there's a small drain plug. Remove the plug, let the fluid drain out, and replace the plug. Then remove the airbox from the mounts (something like 3 screws), loosen the hose clamp holding the box to the intake tube, and rotate the airbox 90* to get access to the fill tube. Rotating the airbox 90* but still having it attached allows you to start the car to get an accurate measurement on fluid level with car running.
