Checking Fluid Level

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1983 Mercury Lynx, 1983 Mercury LN7, 1983 Ford Escort, and 1983 Ford EXP. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Check fluid level with vehicle parked on level surface, engine and transmission at normal operating temperatures and engine idling. Apply parking brake and move transmission selector lever through all ranges, ending in "P".
  2. Fluid level should check between "ADD" and "FULL" (or DON'T ADD") marks on dipstick (or in crosshatched area). Add fluid through filler tube as needed. DO NOT overfill. When check is complete, seat dipstick fully to seal out water and dirt.
