Your 2010 Ford Expedition comes equipped with a transmission that does not require a dipstick for checking fluid levels. These transmissions are made to be low-maintenance. You can inspect the transmission fluid by locating a check valve located on the underside of your vehicle’s transmission. It is important to have your car on a level surface when checking the fluid, so we suggest getting a mechanic with a hydraulic lift or access to an underground bay to help with this task. If there are any fluid leaks with this specific type of transmission, it is best to have a mechanic address the issue.
Verify the level by inserting the dipstick and then removing it to check the oil level.
There's a stick above the transmission oil pan. Ignore what Tina says.
To Beverly S. and Maloo L, not many 2010 FORD Expeditions come with a dipstick for checking the oil level. Instead, they typically have a small access point located under the vehicle near the exhaust pipe and catalytic converter. The area around the check point can get very hot. To avoid burns, it is recommended to have a trusted mechanic perform this task for you.
