In a 2005 Ford Explorer XLT, the transmission fluid is added through the transmission dipstick tube. First, locate the dipstick, which is typically near the back of the engine compartment, and remove it. Use a funnel to pour the appropriate type of transmission fluid into the tube, ensuring you check the fluid level with the dipstick to avoid overfilling. Always refer to your owner’s manual for specific fluid type and capacity.

On a 2005 Mazda 3, the transmission fluid fill is located on the transmission itself. You can find the fill plug on the side of the transmission case, typically near the front of the vehicle. To access it, you may need to raise the car and use a wrench to remove the fill plug. It's important to ensure the vehicle is level when checking or adding fluid.

To check the transmission oil on a 2012 Jeep Patriot Sport, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and warm up the engine. With the engine running, locate the transmission dipstick, which is typically found near the back of the engine bay.
