This video shows the correct way to check the transmission Fluid level on 2020 and newer Ford Explorers with the 10-speed 10R60, 10R80 or hybrid transmission.
Nailed every question anyone could have with this video. Good stuff.

I had a 2016 Escape, and a 2020 Fusion the transmission had a drain plug, and a fill hole under tge hood. I have a 2021 Explorer and I can not find any information on if it has a drain plug and fill hole. I like to do spill and fill everything 30,000.

I have an electric vacuum hose that I use for oil changes on my Explorer ST. Do you think I could use this to pull the transmission fluid from the dipstick?

Do you still have to go from park to drive and back to park with the transmission before checking the level?

I usually do, but unless it’s been parked for quite a while it’s probably not required.

What should the level be when cold and when hot?

They don’t specify cold fill, only at operating temperature. Usually it’s about one number lower cold

Do you recall fluid capacity in the 10r60?
@CarShopTalk
Жыл бұрын
I think from empty the capacity is like 13 quarts, but if your just dropping the pan you’ll need more like 5 to 7

@@user-tt8xl3hj1t between 3.5 and 4.5 ish. If it's below a 3 you should probably pull some fluid out. If it's at a 6 which according to the forums and the Facebook groups most of the explorers especially the ST's came from the factory low on ATF. BUT when checking, like the video said, make sure the transmission is up to operating temp.

I just bought a 2020 explorer xlt with 50,000 miles a month ago. Today i noticed the trans cooler apears to be leaking a couple of drops of fluid on the ground when parked. Will ford cover the repairs ?

You would think that would fall under Powertrain and be covered to 60,000, but I’m pretty sure radiators and coolers fall under the bumper to bumper warranty or 3 years / 30,000. It’s not right and I definitely don’t agree with it, but……

What a horrible design!!! Seeing on the ST forums that alot of these from the factory are coming low, over 1-4 quarts LOW from the factory... So if I don't have a lift, I have to raise and get under the vehicle while it is running to check the tranny fluid... unreal...

I’ve seen a lot of them that people thought were low and wanted to add fluid to. Usually it was because they didn’t have the transmission at the proper temperature to check it. I had another tech ask me to look at one the other day he thought was low. It had been running on a hoist for 30 minutes and he thought it should be warm enough. A temp probe showed it was only up to 180. The fluid level will come up 1 to 1 1/2 numbers between 180 and 210. He also thought the fluid should be in the middle of the dipstick, which was wrong. On that one it was suppose to be between 3 and 4 1/2, which was the lower third of the dipstick. There are a few applications out there that it goes between 4 and 6, which is the bottom. The valve body takes up most of the pan area on these transmissions. That’s why the fluid level changes so much from temp changes. Half a quart will raise the level 1 to 2 numbers so I doubt anyone actually added 4 quarts. I don’t think one of these would even move if it was two or three quarts low. The manufacturers still claim the reason for this style of dipstick is that people don’t check the fluid level properly, add extra fluid, causing the fluid to get into the gear set and turn into foam, leading to transmission failure. That’s probably true, but I think a better fix would be to design a transmission that could run a couple quarts over full if that’s where everyone wants to run them. Just my two cents on it.
