I would like to ask about way to change oil in transmission in USA - are You change oil in dynamic way (with special machine with pump), or normal way with gravity flow ? In my car there is 4R75E. I asked one workshop which are worknig only with US cars, they give me price for it and told that they recommend dynamic way of oil change. How this thing looks in USA ?

Drop the pan, change the filter, put the pan back on, and top it up.
That's the usual method. If the fluid is really in need of changing completely, then use the dynamic to change it all. Just dropping the pan only requires about 4 quarts/liters instead of the full 12-14.

What he said. Pan and filter is all you really need if the fluid isn't in terrible condition. If it needs further attention, I'd still do the pan and filter first.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Which colour has fresh Mercon V ? Is 4R75E has a dipstick ? I think that probably I will use dynamic method, because I don't know anything about service history of this car. Next changes I will do in regular way. I think that this will be more safe for gearbox. How offen should I change oil in gearbox ?'09 Grand Marquis LS - Light Ice Blue / Medium Light Stone, J-mod, dual exhaust with Magnaflow 11224, PI intake, Marty's tune

fresh color: red. Should have a disptick... though I'm not sure about this on later models. If you don't know the service history... changing the filter is a must. If you find a plastic end floating in the fluid, that's the dipstick assembly plug and the transmission has never been serviced.

The guy that rebuilt a couple transmissions for me told me if I change the fluid every 30,000 miles or 50,000 KM he would never see me again.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I think that this time I will change oil with dynamic method with filter change ofc. next 50.000 km will be regular way of changing.
What about j-mod for this 4R75E ? I read that this generation has factory a lot of changes taken from j-mod. Is it make any sense to make j-mod for this gearbox ?'09 Grand Marquis LS - Light Ice Blue / Medium Light Stone, J-mod, dual exhaust with Magnaflow 11224, PI intake, Marty's tune

I don't think the 4R70w or 4R75w have converter drains.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

so its a late model thing. I knew at some point they stopped putting drains in there. I thought it was the 4R70w switch in 1995.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
