Only the latest models have a drain plug. On earlier units (like mine), the only fluid is sucked out through the fill plug. A lot of dealers don't like this procedure & claim it's not a ford authorized process (it is actually, under the "special operating conditions" requirements at 60k miles).

 

However most all reliable transmission shops will do the procedure. Insist on a quality lubricant (go Motorcraft if your not certain as to what's best).

I've read that the Middle East versions do in fact have a drain plug on the PTU, so best you crawl under and take a look.

As far as I know, they added it from the factory in 2013 models & above. Also there was an extended warranty up-to 10 or 200k km for 1 replacement at which time the replacement would have the drain plug.

 

Edit: it is 190k km. Here is the thread about it:
