Definitely not one of Fords better ideas , the old style dipstick under the hood would be much better

I agree, this isn't just a Ford thing though most of the new cars today are rolling off of the assembly line with sealed transmissions. Sealed transmissions mean it is harder for you to check the transmission fluid level and service the transmission by yourself. I like the old days of being able to check and monitor all of this stuff.

That is the craziest way to check the fluid. Why not have a trans dip stick??

Unfortunately this method is becoming more common across the board with all vehicle manufacturers. They want you to bring it to the dealer.

Amazing that my 2012 RAM 1500 HEMI has the trans dip stick. Yes these modernized computers on wheels as complicated as the American government.

Interesting reading this as today, it looks like the torque converter on my '06 Explorer exploded... I'm going to look at a 2011 Ram 1500 tomorrow as it doesn't sound like repairing the Explorer is worth it.

Thank you very much for this beautiful video.I am always very impressed whenever i see how people like you are able to answer major bugging questions. But i wish you could have shown more details. You have more or less done an overview. I felt you would have used a vehicle with shortage of transmission fluid to do a thorough demonstration of all that it entails. Such that the full view of every step would seen. However this a personal opinion and not a condemnation of what you have done. And wish you would really understand what i mean and not see it as derogratory . Thank you so much

The video shows how you have to check the transmission fluid on this particular Ford Explorer. We also explain how to top it off and show the special nipple needed to fill the transmission.

The only thing you did not explain is how it was found in an 'overfull' condition at your original check shown here! There are only two answers. 1) It was over serviced when new or 2) someone over serviced it before your original check. Great video, but you should have explained that to clear up the confusion of how it was found over filled! Thanks! @@HomeOwnerRepair

Fluid is full when the vehicle is warmed up and coming out in a stream. If you let it drain out until it stops then the level it going to be low.

This video shows how you have to check the transmission fluid level on a 2006-2010 Ford Explorer. There is no dipstick, you have to siphon pump in the transmission fluid until a little starts to come out. This video shows the tools needed and the whole process.

If it is the same model there should be one unless you have a different transmission and it's a different procedure.

IF true, then you probably have an auto trans fluid dipstick where you can easily check level and add fluid thru the same port with an auto trans long tapered funnel that fits into your dipstick port!
