Can anyone advise me of what is the correct level (on the dipstick) on the automatic transmission? I know it is best done at 40 degrees and running, but not sure where the level should be. There are 2 'notches ' on the dipstick, I assume that the first one is to indicate low oil and the second...
Thanks, everyone. I got a new belt but it was getting too late to fit. I will be doing it tomorrow. Apparently, they should be changed every 100k, mine looks original (167k) - and still looks good, so I have had a good run out of it.

This is the same crap mentality that is running our country. In other words, Ford is saving us from ourselves and at that same time trying to drive customers to their dealerships. I would like to see the evidence of the number of people who have put the wrong fluid in their transmission that...
