To maintain the transmission of your 2016 Ford Transit, it is important to regularly inspect and replace the transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. You can find a video guide on how to check the transmission fluid at the following link: https://www.Youtube.com/watch?v=SN2P_I5xQ_w. Failure to replace the fluid can lead to unpleasant sounds and issues with the transmission, such as sticking gears, jerking, hard shifts, shuddering, delayed shifts, and slipping. A malfunctioning torque converter can also be a headache. It is crucial to address any transmission fluid leaks promptly to avoid further problems.

There is not a dipstick to check the transmission fluid level.

Underneath the car on the passenger side of the transmission, there is a bolt, either 19mm or #18 in size, that needs to be removed. Once removed, you will find a yellow dipstick underneath.

Checking the transmission fluid for a 2016 transit is a straightforward process, similar to many other vehicles. You can simply remove the dipstick located under the hood and dip it into the fluid reservoir to check the levels. Top up the fluid if necessary.

Transmission you forgot or don't know.

Have you overlooked or are you unaware of the transmission?

I'm unsure, but the oil light is flickering. It can't be for the engine oil since I changed it in July. I believe it's the transmission oil that needs to be checked.
