Hi,
I just purchased a 2013 XLT V-6 with about 60k miles on it. And I am due for a oil change, so I figured while I was down there I would drain the trans pan and add some fresh fluid. But what I have been reading online the new explorers don't have a drain plug nor a trans fluid dip stick that is convenient to get to. What I use to do with my older explorers and escapes was every 10k do a trans drain or pump up through the dip stick. So my question is, is this true? And if so what do you guys recommend?
Oh and I also hear that changing the spark plugs on the 5th gen are a pain in the ass to. Any truth to that as well?
Thanks
