How do you check the transmission fluid level on a 2003 ford explorer?
Transmission fluid can only be checked with the engine and transmission at normal operating temperature. You will need to drive about 5 miles to achieve this. If you check it with the engine cold you will get a false reading and could do more harm than good if you added fluid. Leave the engine running and then check the dipstick level. If it needs fluid, at a little bit at a time then check the level again. Overfilling will cause irreparable damage to the transmission.
Is there a difference between Engine oil and Transmission Oil?
Yes there is. They both will have different additives in them. There viscosity (thickness) will also be different. Transmission fluid has a red dye that is added so it can be distinguished from engine oil.
Can jeep run if coolant was added to engine?

How do you check transmission fluid on a 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.8?
Open the hood, and look for the engine oil dipstick. Then look for another dipstick somewhere in the engine compartment. It will probably be to the right of the engine dipstick, and might be on the back side of the engine/transmission assembly. With the transmission in 'park' or 'neutral' and the engine running, check the fluid level. If the fluid is low, it is added through the dipstick tube, which requires a special, long neck funnel. Be very careful not to overfill the transmission.
Do you add fluid when car is started or not?
That depends on the fluid being added: Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) should be checked after the engine/transmission are warm (has been driven several miles) and fluid can be added while the engine is running. After new fluid is added, the trans should be shifted through all the gears (Park - Reverse - Neutral - Drive - 2nd - 1st - 2nd - Drive - Neutral - Reverse - Park) stopping for a moment in each gear to allow the transmission to get 'in' to the gear, and placed back in Park before rechecking. Oil should be added without car running, then started and run for a few seconds, turned off and recheck. Antifreeze should be added to a cold engine, and can be added when you first turn car on, but after the thermostat opens (warm/hot engine) the level will drop and you can overfill it (excess will run out of the reservoir when it cools back off due to pressure it creates). Antifreeze is typically added to the reservoir to the indicators on bottle. Manual Transmission Fluid does not require engine to be on or off. All other engine fluids (Brake, Power Steering) should be added with engine off. Windshield washer fluid can be added at any time. Hope this helps...
