I recently purchased a used Ford Puma and want to make sure the transmission fluid is at the correct level. What is the correct procedure for checking the transmission fluid?
ReplyFirst, make sure your car is parked on a level surface and the engine is warm. Then locate the transmission dipstick and remove it. Wipe it clean and reinsert it, then remove it again to check the fluid level. The level should be between the 'full' and 'add' marks on the dipstick. If it's low, add the recommended transmission fluid until it reaches the 'full' mark.
It's important to regularly check your car's transmission fluid to ensure proper functioning of your vehicle. A good rule of thumb is to check it every time you get an oil change. If you notice any leaks or the fluid looks dirty, take your car to a mechanic for further inspection.
