How do I properly maintain the transmission fluid level in my Ford Galaxy?

I recently purchased a used Ford Galaxy and want to make sure I am properly maintaining the transmission fluid. What steps should I take to ensure the fluid is at the correct level and what signs should I look out for that may indicate a problem with the transmission?

As a car enthusiast, I would recommend checking your transmission fluid every 5,000 miles or every other oil change. This will ensure your transmission is running smoothly and extends its lifespan.

In addition to checking the fluid level, pay attention to any strange sounds or vibrations while shifting gears. These could be signs of a potential issue with the transmission and should be addressed immediately.

To properly check your transmission fluid, park on a level surface, turn off the engine, and locate the transmission dipstick. Wipe it clean, insert it back into the tube, and then remove it again to check the level. Make sure it falls within the 'full' and 'add' marks.
