2005 ford freestar gearbox oil & car manual

Castrol SMX-X would be a good oil for a gearbox with that amount of mileage and is a ford recommended oil

Cheap or Free ---I suggest you get rid of it
because the transaxle is about to fail ,as they
do on all those freestar & their predecessor

Diagnose the code & the system that applies

You have a coil on plug or COP. to get to it you'll need a 1/4 drive extension.with a swivel socket and a 7mm socket youll just have manuver your way in , now if anything is in the way and your confident of removing what is the way you will suceed in removing the COP which allows you to remove the sparkplugs.

you should change the oil every 4000 to 5000 km in that hot climat your van should take a little more then 4 liters of oil so buy 6 liters oil filter part # should be on the filter you could take it off the old one if your doing this yourself drain oil put new filter in and add 4 liters of oil wait 5 minutes check oil level on dip stick add half liter at a time and check oil level again wait few minutes in between for oil to drop down in oil pan for proper readings on dip stick.repeat ontil oil level shows in the hatch marks on dip stick DONT OVER FILL. also fill oil filter with oil before instaling the new one to insure that oil will flow trought engine at startup without having to fill oil filter first leaving engine to run without oil until this happends internaly on its own you may have a liter left after your done ,you can use this for top ups inbetween oil changes .you should also check and replace your air filter at this time .

will take 5l of oil does this help make sure to put a bit of oil around oil filter gaskey hope this helps

try replacing the plugs, either one is not functioning properly, or has got clogged up.
maybe a full air,oil and fuel filter change

I have a 2004 ford freestar and it's missing a lot I changed the spark plugs and fuel filter. what else can I do ?

it is in front of the windshield where the air is pulled in, just run the blower on high and listen.

follow top hose from the radiator to where it meets the motor...it's there.
