Transmission Dipstick??

A friend of mine has a 2003 Explorer and there is no visible dipstick to check the oil in the automatic transmission. How do you check the oil level in these transmissions?
Thanks,

Check the owners manual.....transmision dipsticks are ussually hard to find unless you know were there located it can esally be over looked, there ussually toward the back of the engine located kind of low, but check the owners manual it will give you the exact location of it

There is no dipstick on '02 + explorers, the thing is not supposed to be messed with for 100K miles or something unless there is a suspected problem with it.
