To inspect the transmission fluid in a 2016 Ford Transit, follow these steps. Start your vehicle. Then locate and remove the dipstick for the transmission fluid to check the levels. Wondering about the cost of a transmission fluid change? Prices can vary from $80 to $250 when done by a dealer, service center, or independent mechanic, with the average being around $100 for both automatic and manual transmissions. Typically, manufacturers recommend changing the transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. However, if you frequently tow or primarily drive in the city with frequent gear changes, you may want to consider changing your automatic transmission fluid even more frequently.
The transmission doesn't have a dipstick. To check the fluid level, you'll need to unscrew a bolt and ensure the fluid reaches the opening where the bolt was removed.
