transmission fluid level and what brand should I use in it
The Ford Escape is equipped with a factory transmission cooler. If you look into the lower opening of the front bumper you should see it mounted there.
The engine should be hot and idling in park.
You can tell if synchronizers are broken in the transmission on a 2001 ford escape by checking the sychronizers.
A 4 cyl automatic must use Mercron LV sold at Ford dealership. You should not have to add fluid, unless you have a leak. Then you should take it to the dealer anyway. No transmission fluid require changing on the Escape model. LV stands for low viscosity.
The power steering fluid for it is actually the transmission fluid. It should be Mercron. Is this suposed to go in the power steering chamber or the transmission chamber to work. The fluid in my 2006 Ford Escape XLT steering fluid tank is black.
