Correct, there is no one dipstick that will fit all vehicles. What you need is a dipstick that is the correct length. If you have lost yours, then go to your local salvage yard and find a car with the same engine. Ford Contour, Mercury Mystique, Ford Mondero, are all the same. Look for one with the same engine, either the 2.0 or 2.5. The dipstick from any of these will fit. Another alternative is to get any dipstick that will actually fit and be long enough. Drain your oil and change the filter. Add the correct amount of oil that is required for an oil & filter change. Start the engine and run for 1 minute. Shut the engine off, Wait one hour and check the level on the dip stick you are using. Mark the level of the oil on that stick, and use that as the full mark. This way you can make your own dipstick.
ON a '98 Mystique it's on engine between engine and radiator.It has a "T" shaped handle on top.
If it is equipped with a transaxle dipstick it will be on the drivers side of the engine compartment - near the brake fluid reservoir
Manual transmissions do not have dipsticks, they have fill plugs in the sides of their cases.
On a 2000 Mercury Cougar : No , only the automatic transaxle ( transmission ) has a dipstick
It doesn't have a dipstick for the automatic transmission - not since the 2002 model
On a 1995 Mercury Cougar : The automatic transmission fluid level dipstick is in the engine compartment , near the firewall , towards the passenger side of the engine ( at the rear of the engine where the transmission is bolted to the engine )
There is no dipstick, the transmission is a completely sealed system. You have to take to dealer for service.
Filter is internal and does not need service. There is a drain plug on the bottom of the trans. case for fluid drain. Refill thru dipstick tube.
