Soo, I was doing my oil changes today, was hoping to do my PTU fluid change as well, well, not too fast,
With PPE downpipes it is impossible, I did two with stock downpipes, PPE back downpipes needs to be removed in order to do PTU oil change :((( Suck

Did you see the howto for PP equipped SHOs? Might have some tips in that writeup helpful in your situation,. Or not lol. Space is at quite a premium with those cooled ptu's.
I am not PP :(
I did change it twice before the PPE downpipes, I know how, it was tight but doable, but now absolutely impossible, Back PPE Catted downpipes needs to be remove in order to do the oil change on PTU
Here is what I decided to do.
I am not willing to remote downpipes every PTU change and I am planing to change every 10-15K, now
I will drill the drain hole on the bottom of PTU, drain that way and fill from the went hole tube.
I will measure my drain amount and fill same exact amount back.
Only downside of me drilling is that I will lose my 2 year warranty on my PTU that I just had replaced by the dealer, but ohh well.
I will make nice video about and do write up.

Didn't the replacement ptu come with a drain plug? I thought all later versions came with one.

The problem is the downpipes are in the way of that drain plug

My replaced PTU came without drain plug, I did ask dealer and he says only PP package on Taurus or Explorer comes with drain plug, thats it.
Even if I had drain plug, I still can't get to fill plug, LOL
2013+ Flex has the drain plug as well.

Wish my 2013 Flex had a drain

Another member with a 2013 Flex had reported that it did have a drain plug. Surprised yours does not, if that is the case.

I can vouch that my 13' Flex (EcoBoost) has one
