Checking the transmission fluid in a 2001 Ford Explorer is a simple process. First, run the engine for a bit to reach a normal operating temperature. Then, pop the hood using the release on the driver's side. Locate the transmission fluid dipstick near the center/top of the engine; it's labeled "trans fluid." Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and check the level to see if more fluid is needed.
To properly check the transmission fluid in a 2001 Ford Explorer, start by turning on your car. Find the dipstick specifically for the transmission fluid. Take out the dipstick, feel the fluid between your thumb and forefinger. Clean the dipstick with a rag before reinserting it back into the vehicle.
