Ford Powershift oil change?

knightstyle

My '13 Cmax has 66k on it and I have been advised to change the gearbox oil at the next service.
Is this advisable and should it be done by a Ford dealer? They will probably be more expensive!
Does anyone have a ball park price? I looked on Ford servicing but could not find anything about changing gearbox oil prices.
Just found this https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4729391/ford-powershift-gearbox-oil-change which answers some of my questions, anyone got an up to date price from Ford?

Well done achieving 6 years use without a change. These gearboxes are junk and Ford know it.

A change at a dealer is still less than a new gearbox,

We have never had any problems with the gear box and have towed a caravan a lot, round France and Italy, with it.
The oil was changed when we bought it at 22k miles.
Really love the car, best auto we have ever had and tows well.
Plus heated windscreen for days like today, cleared the ice in a couple of minutes.

The oil change will be about due though, it's money spent but look at it as preventative maintainence.
As for the heated windscreen yeah they are great, I don't love the squiggly lines in the windscreen though , SGS glass all the way.
