I have the livernoise tune (running the 91oct tune) as well and since im in Germany my post only has 90oct with 5% ethanol or 90 with 10% other post have 93 so I get that when I can. I will admit, the tune was night and day for my car (2013 1.6L.), but I have not noticed any MPG's gains even with a light foot. So either way the tune was worth the money for the power and shift point changes. I just chalk it up to a small displacement motor that needs boost to keep the power in play and we all know that more constant boost requires more gas. if you want great MPG's go get a Honda.

Since there is no dipstick or fill glass how do you know when it's full? So far I have just measured out what I drain and fill the same amount.

That's what im trying to figure out. Just as it can be added as an optional feature, can it be taken out? I hate having to turn it off every time I start my car. When it is on and the car stops at a light sometimes when it restarts it jerks violently. it seems ford didn't do enough research and development before adding it as an option to the car, it reminds me of how xbox and ps4 were in a race to be the first to get on the market.

so no one knows?

So I have a 2013 fusion and it has the stupid auto start/stop feature. I hate it! If there was a longer delay in stop an go traffic it would be fine but every time I start my car I turn it off because I find it to be more of a PITA then helpful. Can I just unplug it from my console or would a dealer have to take it out of the ecu?

well lucky for me I get to do the European clean... drive 130mph for and hour straight and hope the heat burns off the carbon. I was looking at CAI and downpipes but there is no support for the 1.6 for downpipes and the CAI just seems like a waste of money. if someone else has a better idea on how to improve my car or power im all ears. if not ill just keep my livernoise tune.

but im in Germany, not the states

I have 81k on my fusion right now. I dumped my VW Gti due to the on going issues with Port injection and carbon build up. Additives do no good for port injection, you have to walnut blast or clean them by hand and its a pain and not cheap if the dealer dose it. I will do another flush in 500 and if no change ill try some additive. I contacted ford and asked that since im in Germany if the german ford dealers would honor any recall work but have not heard from them as of yet.

I took it to my self service auto shop on base and put it up on a lift. I drained the fluid and a little over 4 1/2 quarts came out so I put the same amount back in. I had to unbolt the transmission valve next to the fill cap to access it. I'm still debating if I should do one more drain and fill a few thousand miles later just to remove more of the old fluid. It still has some hang or rough shifts from 2nd to 3rd but I think it's a little better ( or maybe it's all in my head). I used motorcraft mercon LV like it says to use because I did not want to mix redline or some other synthetic brand unless I did a full flush and I have been told to never do a flush. Any input on if I should do another drain and fill on my next oil change?

Ok, So I have looked, looked, looked, and looked! The only info I can find after four days of searching is for the 6f35 in the escape, it has a transmission dipstick, my 2013 fusion 1.6l ecoboost automatic transmission dose not have a dipstick. How in the hell do I fill the thing up and how do I know when I'm full? My plan was to measure out the fluid that comes out when I drain it and replace the same amount with motorcraft mercon LV. I have 80k on the car and am livernoise tuned. I'm stationed in Germany ( I can't believe how many ford dealers there are here) but the euro to dollar exchange rate is stupid and most dealers want 300 euro (355ish dollars). Can someone on the great site please point me in the right direction or a walkthrough so I can make this happen?
