Detailed Description

Transmission fluid carries heat and lubrication through the transmission, and the filter helps trap wear debris before it can move through sensitive hydraulic passages. ATP Parts TF-212 is an OE Replacement transmission oil filter made for routine service on the listed Ford Explorer, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, Mercury Mountaineer, and Lincoln Aviator models. Replacing the filter at service intervals helps maintain cleaner fluid flow and supports the long-term condition of the transmission.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Transmission fluid contamination from normal wear
• Restricted fluid flow caused by debris buildup
• Valve body clogging from dirty transmission fluid
• Premature wear on internal transmission components
• Costly repairs linked to neglected filter service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify transmission type and vehicle application before installation. Replace the filter during scheduled transmission service and inspect the pan, gasket surfaces, and fluid condition at the same time. For best results, follow the vehicle service procedure for the specific Ford Explorer, Mercury Mountaineer, Lincoln Aviator, or Ford Explorer Sport Trac application.
