How to add transmission fuild

With the Taurus parked on flat, level ground, run the engine until warm. With transmission in park, the emergency brake on and the engine running, open the hood, pull out the transmission dipstick (not the engine oil dipstick) that has a yellow handle. Wipe off the dipstick with a rag, re-insert into the dipstick tube all the way down, then pull it out again. Hold the dipstick in a vertical position so the oil does not run along the stick. Look to see where on the stick the red transmission fluid covers. It should be covering the two tiny holes at the bottom of the dipstick, but not higher than that. If it is between the holes, check regularly to see if it goes down. If below the holes, have an attendant add up to a quart as needed, after turning off the engine.
Usually at the rear of the engine on either passenger or driver's side (more often passenger). Refill through dipstick tube DO NOT OVERFILL

Also can review the 2000 Ford Taurus - Owners Manual for location (page 151) and more details.


Hope helped with this. Good luck.

Look for a dipstick with transmission on it. then place a long nosed funnel init and pour the trans fluid slowly in it. not to much as it is not like an engine. pour alittle then check it while it is running and heated.then pour alittle more until it says full.eaglebear77@yahoo.com
