Ford’s recommendations on scheduled services, you should also make sure you monitor the level of fluid in the transmission to prevent potential serious damage. Here’s what you need to do: Make sure the engine and transmission are warm. Ford recommends driving for 20 miles before checking the transmission fluid. Park the car on a level surface. With the engine running and your foot on the brake, move the gearshift through all gears. Leave the engine running and put the parking brake on. Open the hood (with the engine running). Locate the transmission dipstick, pull it out and wipe it off. Reinsert the dipstick and pull it back out. Make sure that the fluid is within the hot operating temperature range.
TRANSMISSION FLUID: You need to have the engine running and run the transmission from park to neutral to reverse and back to neutral and then leave in park with the engine still running when you check the level of the transmission fluid.
For a ford fusion 2012 you must absolutely check transmission while it is running. Otherwise you’ll overestimate the amount of transmission fluid by a huge margin.
Btw I wish my engine was this clean, on two different occasions I had a person forget to put the oil cap back on. Very dangerous. Good thing I noticed . To everyone reading this I always recommend double checking to make sure they put it back on. You’d be surprised how much this happens. It can actually cause a fire as well.
Did or do u have a overheating problem with ur car? Running hot? That's not good I think. I'm going 2 chk my fluids, I think. I'm trying 2 fig. Out a trans, shifting issue. Starting at the fluid.
You dont check transmisionor power zteering fluid in the 10 fusionas both are sealed trans. Fluid is sopposeto lastlife time power steering iz same as is tvhe air filter
@@rogerking9173 You are correct. The car needs to be on level ground. The tranny needs to be warm, and shifted thru all the gears. The ATF dipstick shows overfill, so he just goes on to the next fluid.

Where do you add power steering fluid?
It doesn't have one, it's electric power steering
@@cooner69 The Sport model does.
back by sindshield
@@fizzisoda7113 Which one is considered the sport model? The SEL?
@@monke7532 It's called the Sport. The SEL is a 3.0l v6 while the Sport model is a 3.5l v6.
Thanks for the help
Thanks for you video you helping me a lot
Thanks!
Wow! Thank You!!!
when your oil is leaking from gasket area do the whole thing suppose to be changed or the rubber part around cover
That would be the valve cover gasket, not a major repair, and not too costly, but happens with older cars.
What is the sensor directly below the the oil cab ?
VCT selenoid
Thank you.
Nice vid! Very helpful
And how do I add power steering fluid ??
How check power steering fluid
Unless you have a sport, you don’t have power steering.. you have electric steering.
I own a sport myself.
Actually as the brakes wear the brake fluid will drop down. Nothing wrong in that case
Davay davay! Khav e khappy xappy day! Xavar you?
If it says full when cold you overfilled it.

This guy really don’t have a clue what he is doing.
You're not supposed to check the oil cold? 😂
@@JuJuBLessedNess check engine oil is ok, transmission oil the motor needs to be hot and running
