Unfortunately, there is no way to manually check the transmission fluid in a 2015 Ford Escape as Ford specifically designed the transmission system for this SUV without a dipstick. The only method to inspect the fluid levels is by removing the drain plug on the transmission to release a small amount of fluid for examination. It is important to refill the fluid after this process, as a portion will be lost during the check. Ford recommends that owners have their transmissions inspected by a dealership or a mechanic rather than attempting to perform the check themselves. The intention behind this sealed transmission design when it was introduced in the 2015 Escape was to minimize the need for frequent maintenance.

The plug near the driver's side axle is where the fluid level should be up to, reaching the bottom of the hole.
