'02 XLT
Hi everyone, I am new here and just purchased a 2002 XLT for the little woman. It has 24,500 miles on it and has the 4.0L sohc engine. I also found out that the auto transmission is a 5 speed with no filler tube/dip stick under the hood? How do I check and change the fluid and filter. Also are there any common problems with this model year I should be aware of before the warranty expires? Any input would be appreciated. Thanx.
 






welcome to the site.....

not 100% sure, but i am pretty sure there is a dipstick for the tranny near the firewall on the pass side......
 






Welcome to the site.. unforunately the dumb engineers at Ford decided the 3rd generation didn't need a dipstick..
 






The filter on any Explorer transmission has to be changed by dropping the pan......
