DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
- Microscopic metal shavings and ultra-fine metallic silt suspended in your 2011–2022 Ford Super Duty automatic transmission fluid are silent killers of the hydraulic system. Over time, these circulating abrasives lodge inside the tight tolerances of your valve body, clogging precision solenoids and actuators to trigger erratic hydraulic pressure drops, harsh shifts, or costly clutch slipping.
- The TruckTok premium FT187 transmission filter counters this threat with advanced multi-layer, high-flow media encased in a heat-stable, reinforced composite plastic housing. Engineered with a rugged, reinforced inner core to prevent media collapse under high hydraulic pressure and heavy towing loads, it successfully traps destructive metallic grit without restricting critical fluid delivery to maintain crisp, stable shifting performance.
Key Features
- High-efficiency, multi-layer filtration media traps destructive metallic wear particles and clutch friction debris, preventing them from clogging critical valve bodies, solenoids, and actuators.
- Precision-molded pickup tube neck establishes a secure seal to prevent internal hydraulic fluid drawdown and support continuous, unrestricted fluid delivery to the pump.
- Features a rigid, reinforced inner core designed to resist media collapse under high hydraulic pressure and heavy towing loads over extended intervals.
- Encased in a heat-stable, high-quality composite plastic housing that resists thermal and chemical breakdown to prevent sludge buildup.
Replacement Interval
-
Replace every 30,000 to 50,000 miles under normal use. Shorten this interval to 15,000 to 30,000 miles under severe operating conditions, including heavy towing, snow plowing, commercial hauling, or frequent stop-and-go driving. Performing this service requires replacing the transmission fluid (ATF) and inspecting the pan gasket alongside the new filter element to ensure a complete, leak-free system seal.
FAQ
Q: What fluid should I use with this 6R140 transmission filter?
A: The 6R140 TorqShift transmission requires Motorcraft MERCON LV exclusively. Do not use MERCON SP, MERCON V, or universal ATFs. The 6R140 valve body and torque converter clutch are calibrated specifically for MERCON LV viscosity and friction characteristics; using incorrect fluid will trigger harsh shifts, shudder, and solenoid degradation.
Q: What does this transmission filter capture?
A: The high-efficiency, multi-layer internal filter media traps metallic wear particles, clutch friction debris, and fine silt that accumulates in the fluid over time. Left circulating, these contaminants accelerate abrasive wear on precision valve body solenoids, torque converter lockup clutches, and planetary gear sets.
Q: How does this compare to the Motorcraft FT187 filter?
A: This replacement filter is engineered to meet OEM specifications for dimensions, pickup tube configuration, and filtration media performance. It features a precise drop-in design that seats directly onto the factory pickup location inside the transmission pan with zero modifications required.
Q: How often should I replace the 6R140 transmission filter?
A: Replace every 30,000 to 50,000 miles under normal use, or shorten to 15,000 to 30,000 miles if you routinely tow heavy, plow snow, or haul commercially. Servicing this filter typically requires refilling with fresh MERCON LV fluid and installing a new pan gasket to guarantee an airtight hydraulic seal.
Q: Need the complete filter kit for this truck?
A: Our filter kits for the 6.7L Powerstroke include fuel, oil, and air filters that cover the rest of your service needs. Browse the Filter Kits collection to find the right combo for your 2011-2022 model year.
