Checking tranny fluid on 04 Explorer

[Joscibo]

I don't see a dip stick tube on the truck? What's the deal with this for checking fluid or adding or even filling it up if I am to service the darn thing.

No tranny dipstick, but you can check the fluid level yourself pizza change the tranny pan fluid pizza filter as well. Just take a look thru the link I have supplied to you below.

Yes it does! How stupid is this set up! I'm confused at how this is better than a funnel and why the engineers thought the consumer would benefit from this crap. I will set up a jug to add fluid shouldn't be that difficult. Thanks for the direction it does help.

Looking for the tool to change my fluid in the tranny. I can pull the plug I am looking for the tool to thread in and fill it up.

The part it OTC 6604 which cost around $20. The easiest thing to do is to go to any hardware store and get a 1/8" barbed hose fitting for $2, does the exact same thing. http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?R=NTH90547_0215255341
