10r80 fluid check

[Ecoboosted]

Nothing in the owners manual and can’t seem to find the answer anywhere. Automatics you usually check with engine running and up to operating temp. Is this still the proper way on the 10r80? A couple YouTube videos it looks like guys were checking with the engine off. Thanks for any reply’s.

You are suppose to have the trans oil temp around 195F-210F (not sure about having the car running) as long as the temp is up you can have the car off. The dip stick on the 10r80 is on the oil pan itself next to the driver side catalytic converter. Have to be careful as to not burn yourself when checking the oil level.

Yeah my the tech that checked mine said he needed a heat glove just to get too it. Lol.

I’ve checked the level both ways engine running and engine off. Totally different readings.

Checking the transmission level on the Mustang is almost a bad as when I had my C6 Corvette.

What a total pain in the ass checking and adding trans fluid on this car. Anyways was low 1 quart.

My dipstick is labeled 1-6. The level is at 5.5. Does anyone know what the right level is supposed to be on this dipstick?

Try this manual. Should be between 4 and 5 when hot, between 5 and 6 cold.
