You drained the Automatic Transmission Fluid inadvertently on your 2006 Ford Explorer how do you refill it?

Answer 1

You have to refill through the dip-stick tube, requires a special funnel. Check your owners manual for capacity probably about 10 quarts. Check the owners manual for the location of the transmission dip-stick and be sure you don't put any into the oil dip-stick port. The dip-sticks are usually different colors, the transmission are typically red. BAD ANSWER == There is no dip stick on a 2006 Ford Explorer . . . it is a sealed transmission. Owners manual says, "Take it to the dealer" - doesn't everything! I ended up having it towed to the dealer, and them refilling it with a special tool with special AT Fluid. Tow $75 Service $125 Total $200 check the dipstick with the engine running...DO NOT OVERFILL fluid can foam up and damage trans..read up on it... ...everyone should have a manual for their vehicle(parts store or dealer), and a local library should have professional shop manuals available in the REFERENCE section for free...make copies of the appropriate sections...read up and good luck :) Real Answer If you dont want to take it to a dealer, there is a torx bit plug inside the bigger drain plug. Remove said plug. Screw in a brass fitting with 1/8 X 28 NPT on one end and 3/8 hose nipple on the other. attach 3/8 rubber hose from nipple to a funnel( i used a suction gun from a local parts store, take it apart and you can use the plunger to force feed). support the funnel above the level of the transmission and let it gravity feed.
