Transmission Fluid Level Indicator

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Lincoln Navigator and 2017 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A removable dipstick-type fluid level indicator is located on the right front area of the transmission case. It is held in by an external fluid fill plug. The transmission fluid level indicator is removed with the transmission fluid fill plug. The transmission fluid level indicator is removed from the fill plug to check the transmission fluid level.

The transmission fluid level is correctly checked when the transmission is at normal operating temperature, 96.7 °C-102 °C (206 °F-215 °F), and the vehicle is on a level surface.

The correct transmission fluid level is at the upper level of the crosshatch marks on the transmission fluid level indicator.
