The Ford Bronco is a popular SUV that is known for its off-road capabilities. It is important to keep the transmission fluid in your Bronco fresh and clean in order to maintain its performance. The transmission fluid capacity of a Ford Bronco will vary depending on the year and model of the vehicle. However, most Broncos will have a transmission fluid capacity of between 5 and 7 quarts.

Checking the Transmission Fluid Level

It is important to check the transmission fluid level in your Bronco regularly. This can be done by following these steps:

  1. Park the Bronco on a level surface.
  2. Turn off the engine and allow it to cool down.
  3. Open the hood and locate the transmission fluid dipstick.
  4. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean with a rag.
  5. Reinsert the dipstick into the transmission and push it all the way in.
  6. Pull out the dipstick again and check the fluid level.

The transmission fluid level should be between the “FULL” and “ADD” marks on the dipstick.

Changing the Transmission Fluid

The transmission fluid in your Bronco should be changed every 30,000 miles or 2 years, whichever comes first. This can be done by a qualified mechanic or you can do it yourself. If you are changing the transmission fluid yourself, you will need the following tools and materials:

  • New transmission fluid (the type and amount of fluid needed will vary depending on the year and model of your Bronco)

To change the transmission fluid, follow these steps:

  1. Park the Bronco on a level surface.
  2. Turn off the engine and allow it to cool down.
  3. Place the transmission fluid pan under the transmission.
  4. Loosen the drain plug on the transmission pan and allow the fluid to drain out.
  5. Once the fluid has stopped draining, tighten the drain plug.
  6. Remove the old transmission filter and install a new one.
  7. Add the new transmission fluid to the transmission through the fill plug.
  8. Check the transmission fluid level and adjust it as necessary.
