I have a 2016 mkc 2.3 L turbo AWD model.
1. It has about 48.5k miles and I want to change the transmission fluid.
2. It is not currently leaking but it makes sense to freshen up the fluid. It also seems to be operating without issues currently.
3. I had read elsewhere that you should avoid "flushing" the transmission and simply drain(by gravity) and replace.
4. I replaced the battery yesterday and noticed some trans fluid had "spashed" out from under the filler cap over time and had dirt/dust in it.
5. What would the advice be: flush or simply drain.
6. Which fluid does everyone seem to agree on as the best replacement fluid?
7. Should i at this point change the fluid filter and how is it accessed?
Thank you in advance for any help/advice....
