READ your owner's manual. It says with the engine WARM and running, fill transmission to the FULL mark on the dip stick. If you fill it just a bit above the mark, it will NOT hurt...........
If it is an automatic transmission, then it should have a dipstick to check the fluid level. Depending on the make and model, the location of this dipstick will vary. If it is a manual transmission, then the fluid level really can't be checked and it will not have a dipstick.
On a 2000 Mercury Cougar : No , only the automatic transaxle ( transmission ) has a dipstick
On a 2005 Ford Mustang GT the automatic transmission does not have an automatic transmission fluid level dipstick ( and the manual transmission fluid level is checked underneath the vehicle at the transmission fill plug )
The 2001 F-150 owners manual shows : ------------------------------------------------------- Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid for the 5 speed manual transmission and the 4R100 automatic transmission and ---------------------------------------------------------- Motorcraft MERCON V for the 4R70W automatic transmission ------------------------------------------------------------ The automatic transmission dipstick will indicate which fluid is used
That would depend on which transmission you have According to the 1999 Ford F-150 owners manual : The 4 R 70 W automatic transmission takes ( Motorcraft MERCON - V - automatic transmission fluid ) The 4 R 100 automatic transmission takes ( Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid ) The 5 speed manual transmission takes ( Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid ) If the automatic transmission has a dipstick check the handle or the dipstick , the type of transmission fluid should be indicated
There is no transmission dipstick on automatic or manual transmission Passats. The automatic (tiptronic) transmissions have a "lifetime" fluid that can generally only be changed by the dealer.
According to the 1999 Ford Explorer owners manual ( Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid ) is used in all of the automatic transmissions and the 5 speed manual transmission * the type of transmission fluid used should be engraved on the automatic transmission fluid dipstick *
On a 1997 Mercury Tracer : The AUTOMATIC transmission fluid dipstick would be on the side of the transmission ( transaxle ) in the area of the brake fluid reservoir . The manual transmission ( transaxle ) does not have a dipstick
The AUTOMATIC transmission ( transaxle ) dipstick is on the transaxle just to the left of the battery when looking from the front of the vehicle , the manual transaxle does not have a dipstick
The type should be engraved in the automatic transmission fluid dipstick . ( if you have the 5 speed manual transmission it would have Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid in it from the factory )
On an automatic, the fluid goes down the dipstick tube. On a manual, the fluid goes in the check hole on the side of the transmission.
Automatic , yes. Manual, no. It has a fill hole/plug. Automatic , yes. Manual, no. It has a fill hole/plug.
