Video tutorial

In this short video tutorial, you will learn how to check the transmission fluid on a Ford F-350, produced from 2008 to 2019. You can perform the check at home without special tools. Start by opening the hood of the vehicle and locate the dipstick with the yellow handle labeled "TRANS FLUID"; be careful not to confuse it with the oil dipstick.

Once you have pulled out the correct dipstick, clean it thoroughly and insert it back into its housing. Then, pull it out again to check the transmission fluid level.

It is recommended to perform the check with the engine off and cold.
