They are serviceable, and should be serviced regularly.

Beecoach do you have a 2007 or newer sport trac just wondering because they don't come with dip sticks any more and only serviceable by dealer.i heard there's a fitting on tranny u unscrew to check but needs special tool which I will gladly buy.thanks for writing everyone

There is an adapter that connects to the plug on the bottom of the pan. you us a suction pump to fill it with MERCON V when its running in park at temperature. Then you pull the pump off and let it run out until it slows to a drip. Vola, filled to spec. You might want to pull the pan and change the filter while you are at it. Have a look for any issues.

Here's what I use to do it.
