Ecoboost transmission temp
I just purchased a new 2013 F150 Ecoboost. I have read the manual and do not find a reference to a " normal " or " excessive " numerical number for tranny temp. It only refers to the gauge moving to the danger area if overheating occurs.
After running 70mph on the interstate for an hour or so on my first trip the numerical temp was 194 +/-. The gauge shows mid range or normal.
Just curious what other ecoboost owners are seeing as a normal tranny operating temp. I ask because mine runs 15-18 degrees warmer than my old F150.
Yes, I do realize different engines operate at different "normal" temps. It just seems if the manufacturer gives you a temp gauge they would also tell you what is / is not normal ( a range ). Surely individual engines of the same make /model would have similar operating temps. wouldn't they?
