This transmission pan is designed for 2003 - 2010 Ford F - Series trucks with 6.0L/6.4L Powerstroke engines. To use it, simply replace your old transmission pan with this one. When replacing, make sure to drain the old fluid first. For 2008 - 2010 models with the pleated media filter “8C3Z7A098D”, you'll need to make some minor modifications to the fins. As for maintenance, check the transmission fluid level regularly. Also, inspect the drain plug and temperature access ports occasionally to ensure they are in good condition. Thanks to its high - grade alloy and additional capacity, this pan can keep your transmission running well for a long time, backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
