Can anyone provide the official procedure for checking the transmission fluid level on a Gen 3? I cannot find anything on this topic in the over 740 page owner's manual.
So far this is what I have been able to find in another F150 on-line forum:
"It needs to be between 5-6 at operating temperature which is 206-215 degrees Fahrenheit. Drive it around for a while and make sure you park it on level ground with truck running in park."
Is this correct?
Once I can confirm the procedure I will deal with the added hassle of needing to remove a skid plate to access the little "dipstick plug" located down low on the side of the transmission from under the truck that Ford replaced the simple to use conventional dip stick with. WTF?
