The PF5 maching is a fluid exchange machine made by BG products. The service kit consists of a "cleaner" and then a "conditioner". Very good products, I have used all the BG products for years and have had excellent luck. You will have to ask them if they changed the ext. filter or not. If not its no bug deal you can do it yourself.

unless your truck is a d max or a new 6.4 twin turbo your tranny has an internal filter which cant be changed unless you want to drop the pan. the flush will get the filter 95 percent clean so you can flush it two or maybe three times then i would change the filter. i usually go fourty thousand on the flushes.

Or you can upgrade to the 08 Ford tranny pan and internal filter. I got both sitting in a box waiting to turn 30,000 on my 06. From what I've read the external filter is actually a bypass filter.

They started with the first 6.0L in 2003 and continued for every 6.0L built. No 6.0L automatic truck left the factory without an external filter.
That's why one should not get important work done at a quick lube shop.
