Maybe this will clarify my question.
2009-2010
Transmission Filters

4R75E
FT-150

6R80
FT-171
FT-138

 

that appears to be correct.
171 = RWD
138 = 4x4


but I'm not sure that the list is complete as www.fordparts.com is showing two additional part numbers (FT-161 & FT-188) for the 6r80


best way to find the correct one is to go to the fordparts.com page, enter in your full VIN and then search for the transmission filter.


alternatively, you can call your local dealer's parts department and have them look it up based on your VIN. especially when the descriptions are less than perfectly clear.


I've had to do that a few times when several different part numbers appear to make sure you get the right one.

 

Thanks. I will take these numbers to my friend at Johnson Bros. Ford in Temple, TX and find out what is for what.

You are wrong about engine and transmission degrading faster if you don't use OEM filters. It's called changing the fluid and maintenance. I use Wix filters and have for years and years and never had a failure due to that. Quit giving falsities out there.

 

Couple things have changed over the past few years... One is, I don't think I would use 0 W 30 in the Ecoboost... a good 10W 30 motor oil is needed.... Second is the antifreeze does not need to be from FORD... You can use any name brand DEXCOOL as it is ORANGE and rated for FORD and GM use.

 

So true. Remember that these are the bean counters that gave you warping dashes on the aluminum trucks and diesel 5.4s on the 04-08 trucks.

That aside, I believe someone on the other F150 forum brought up a site that shows Motorcraft oils are actually pretty mediocre. No shock there as Ford isn’t in the petrochemical business. Hence, why the aftermarket exists!

A table of contents does not provide any specifics (type, capacity, part #, etc), so unless you have the service manual is of no use.

(owner's manual) Don't have one -OR- would like a digital, searchable desktop document?
