Transmission Fluid Level: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Mariner and 2010 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The transmission fluid level is checked with the transaxle at normal operating temperature between 85°C and 93°C (185°F and 200°F).
The transmission fluid level indicator is part of the transmission fluid filler tube located at the back of the torque converter housing.
The correct transmission fluid level is between the minimum and maximum marks on the transmission fluid level indicator.
