Best Answer

Open the hood. When facing the engine, there is a small oval shaped reservoir with a black round cap on it. It is located on the back wall of the engine compartment to your right. Remove the cap. Make sure to clean the cap off with some type of cleaner or degreaser before you replace the cap. The brake fluid level should be to the edge of the reservoir, BELOW the line of where the cap fits. NOT to the top of the cap. Fill ONLY with DOT-3 brake fluid, found at any local auto parts store.

Can you change the transmission fluids in a2002 Ford Explorer?

Starting with the 2002 Ford Explorer ( 4 door ) there isn't an automatic transmission fluid dipstick that allows you to refill the transmission . The Ford dealer has a way of checking the transmission fluid level from underneath the vehicle , I couldn't find anything in the 2002 Ford Explorer maintenance schedule so I would ask a Ford dealer . I know that on my 1995 Ford Explorer I've had the dealer use a machine a couple of times that pumps in new transmission fluid through the transmission cooler lines as the old fluid is pumped out
