To inspect the transmission fluid in your 2017 Ford Explorer, check out: https://www.Youtube.com/watch?v=rblgaJBBHQM It's important to change the transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. If you hear strange noises coming from the transmission, it's time for a fluid replacement. Over time, old transmission fluid can produce unpleasant sounds. A worn-out torque converter can lead to headaches. The transmission is a crucial component of your vehicle and issues are inevitable. Look out for symptoms like rough shifts, shuddering, jerking, gear sticking, slipping transmission, delayed shifts causing acceleration problems, and leaks requiring prompt repair.

    An authorized dealer is able to top up the fluid levels, if necessary, for the automatic transmission, which does not have a dipstick. Consult your maintenance schedule for specific times for fluid checks and adjustments. Any fluid needed is absorbed by the transmission. However, if the transmission is not functioning correctly (e.g. slipping or moving sluggishly) or if there are signs of fluid leakage, check the fluid level immediately. Avoid using fluid additives, chemicals, or cleaners as they can interfere with the transmission's performance and harm its internal components.
