F150 2011 3.5L Ecoboost. Where is the transmission dipstick?

 

There isnt one. The transmissions are considered sealed from the factory. No need to check it i guess.

I dont have problem with that really because of warranty. But if the transmission runs out of oil because of an unnoticed leak after warranty, Who pays for it then?

 

They aren't sealed, but there's no dipstick. There is an access port on the pan itself to check level and siphon fluid. The change interval is 150K for normal service or less than that (maybe 60K? I can't remember...) for severe service.

I have an '09, and my definition of "service lifetime" is probably different than Ford's. I've got 110K on it now and am aiming for 200K before replacement. Therefore, I changed mine at 100K.

 

"The automatic transmission does not have a transmission fluid dipstick."

First sentence in the "Transmission Fluid" section of the owner's manual. lol

 

How To: Locate the 6R80 Transmission Dip Stick - FORD RAPTOR FORUM - Ford SVT Raptor Forums - Ford Raptor

It can and should be checked at least once early in its life. there have been reports on this forum about improper fluid levels from the factory. The dealers are supposed to do this as part of the vehicle prep, but i doubt many do.

 

If you have your engine oil changed at the dealer, they perform a fairly extensive list of service checks. I'm not sure if transmission oil level is one of them but I will insist on the next oil change.

 

One way to look at it. If there had been a dipstick installed, they may have put it on like they did the engine oil dipstick on the 5.0! Yepper, a dipstick designed by a dipstick, using his dipstick!! Aye, Jimmy!?!?

Contrary to what's been posted .....

There is a dipstick!

However, it's not "traditional". To check the transmission fluid ...

• the vehicle must be level.
• the transmission needs to be at "operating temperature".
• the (short) dipstick is on the RH (passenger) side of the transmission and is accessible from the underside of the vehicle.

Sorry,some of us may not have known what "PA"stands for...excuse me for being illiterate....oh wait,I spelled "illiterate" correctly though.....

 

For those, the gods made Google

Don't confuse spelling as the sole issue for literacy - it's reading (and comprehension) as well as writing.
