The 2017 Ford Fusion requires Dexron VI Transmission Fluid with a 10-quart capacity to ensure smooth operation. Similar to oil, transmission fluid is a lubricant that helps protect the transmission components from heat-induced damage. To check the fluid level, wipe the dipstick clean, insert it back in, and then pull it out to gauge the level. The average cost for a transmission fluid change for your Fusion is around $110 to $130 for labor, with parts costing approximately $90. It is recommended to change the transmission fluid every 150,000 miles. Warning signs that it's time for a change include grinding noises from the transmission, difficulty shifting gears, slipping during gear changes, sudden surges, and delays in vehicle movement after shifting into gear.

    I recently bought a 2017 Ford Fusion SE model, but I can't find the transmission dipstick. I'm used to checking the fluids on my cars, but this one has got me stumped. Haha!

    I own a 2017 Fusion with a sealed transmission, which means there is no dipstick provided. I prefer working on my cars myself, so I'm a bit disappointed with this setup.

    On a 2017 Fusion, you are unable to check the fluid level since there is no dipstick provided for the transmission. The transmission is sealed off. I don't understand what others are saying about it.

    Additionally, the arm connected to the driver's knob can be removed to access the transmission fluid, which is pretty wild. You might want to check out a YouTube video for guidance on this.
