I recently purchased a used Ford Ranger and I want to make sure the transmission fluid level is where it should be. How can I easily check this and what type of transmission fluid should I use? Thank you!
ReplyHi Samantha, congratulations on your new Ford Ranger! To check the transmission fluid, start by making sure your truck is on a level surface and the engine is warm. Locate the transmission fluid dipstick, which is usually labeled and has a red handle. Pull it out and wipe it clean, then re-insert it and pull it out again. The fluid level should be between the two indicator marks. Use Ford Mercon V transmission fluid for your Ranger. Hope this helps!
Hey Samantha, checking the transmission fluid on your Ford Ranger is a relatively simple task. Start by parking on a level surface and then locate the dipstick, usually labeled and with a red handle. Pull it out and wipe it clean, then re-insert it and pull it out again. The fluid level should be between the two indicator marks. Use Ford Mercon V transmission fluid for your Ranger. If the fluid looks dirty or smells burnt, it may be time for a transmission fluid change. Best of luck!
