No, you cannot add ATF in my vehicle design if the fill plug is in place, because as I said, mine has no dipstick, and therefore no dipstick spout to top it off. My guess is the manufacturer went to this design to avoid people causally adding too much ATF, and those are also likely the type of...

No, like I said, the fill port IS the method of measuring the amount of fluid to put in, as it's put at a proper height to just fill, then let any excess drain out. In other words it's higher up on the SIDE of the tranny case, not underneath it. My only question as I said is how does one know...

@BeardyHat, UPDATE on the 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid! Like an idiot I was looking at the non Hybrid owners manual, which DOES have an ATF dipstick. Mine however does not, and I find it odd there isn't even a warning indicator for ATF change intervals. I found this video though that says mine...

^Thanks, I checked the user manual and talked to the shop I use for motor oil changes (Grease Monkey, who I find are pretty good), and the ATF I need is Mercon V. I too thought it was non synthetic if it didn't say on the bottle it was, but one of the more knowledgeable Grease Monkey staff says...

Hey BeardyHat, I assume you meant all the 2008-2012 Ford Escape AT are the same, not your tranny is the same as mine? Anyway, I have a few questions. 1. Do you know if my AT is supposed to have a filter? I ask because my local auto parts store's website shows an AT filter for this vehicle, but...

Thanks for that, I guess it could be something as simple as AT fluid level. That would be a relief if so.

I wasn't following the whole posts prior on your van, but I do recall you said you were working on the tranny. Is it an auto tranny? One of my worries with my 2008 Ford Escape, which has auto tranny, is it may need tranny work at some point, which is very expensive. For the most part it works...

It's just that lovely little common phrase that's another way of saying having that much entertainment in one movie should be illegal, so I watched BOTH instead! :ROFLMAO: Truth be told I don't feel one bit guilty!

I have to admit, her Wonder Woman movies are a guilty pleasure of mine! :love:

No, she's just an Amazon, towering nearly as tall as my desk with her sitting on a glass 3 1/2" monitor stand that fits her perfectly. Also has an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 AIO cooling her. She runs cool, quiet and clean. Every time I've vacuumed her filters the one under the PSU doesn't even...

If I tried to pick up my current PC tower with one hand, it wouldn't be a vase of water breaking. My Corsair 7000D weighs at least 40 lb itself, and that's without all the extra stuff I didn't use. Whole tower probably weighs close to 50 lbs with all the other components. Maybe more since I have...

Nice pic, great looking dog. This dog looks perfectly calm here, but you never know what anxieties lurk inside a Malinois. If you've never seen John Wick 3 Parabellum, it features some pretty good Malinois scenes. These dogs are just so quick, strong, and agile it's amazing what they can do...

@Frindis, ^That King Poodle breed is so cool and they make such great pets. I imagine sometimes it would be cool to have a Belgian Malinois as a companion to run and mt bike trails with. It's a slightly smaller and similar looking breed to a German Shepard for those who don't know, but with WAY...

This should remind people to not get a marriage license unless you're damn sure you want to get married!

When I was young, some hippies were called Beatniks. I guess in today's crazy world something called Botniks might apply, because the AI will nick you for just about anything, including your virginity apparently! :rolleyes:
