Checking Fluid Level

NOTE: F350 Super Duty commercial chassis has a parking brake assembly mounted on rear of transmission. Parking brake assembly contains a separate reservoir; fluid level must be checked separately from transmission. See PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLY under CHECKING FLUID LEVEL.
  1. Transmission or transaxle must be at normal operating temperature with vehicle on level ground. Apply parking brake, and run engine at curb idle. Shift gear selector lever through all positions, ending in PARK.
  2. Fluid level should be in crosshatch area on dipstick if checked at operating temperature. If transmission is at room temperature, fluid level should be between 2 dimples on bottom of dipstick.
  3. DO NOT overfill. Check condition of fluid for contamination and burned smell. Fully reseat dipstick.
