Reload this Page transmission fluid

Ford Expedition True expeditions require additional transportation conveyances: horses, boats, cars, for example. With a towing capacity around 9,000 pounds, the Ford Expedition can tow any of these. Ford adds a new top end King Ranch model for 2008, as well as an available rear backup camera and power-retractable running boards. The Expedition is meant for utility, not posing.

I'd buy a can of Seafoam trans conditioner & follow the directs on the back of can. Drop the pan, changed the filter, pan gasket, & then top off transmission with remaining can of Seafoam trans conditioner & proper trans fluid.

Still wishing you a safe -uneventful- trip.
