Lincoln Aviator: Automatic Transmission - 10-Speed Automatic Transmission – 10R60 / General Procedures - Transmission Fluid Level Check
Check
NOTICE:
The vehicle should not be driven if the transmission fluid level is low. Internal failure could result.
NOTE:
If the vehicle has been operated for an extended period at
high highway speeds, in city traffic, during hot weather or while
pulling a trailer, the transmission fluid must cool down to obtain an
accurate reading.
NOTE:
If a new transmission fluid cooler or new fluid cooler
tubes have been installed, drive the vehicle to warm the transmission
fluid to 96ºC-101ºC (206ºF-215ºF) in order to purge the air from the
transmission fluid cooling system.
-
Connect the diagnostic scan tool and position the vehicle on a hoist.
Refer to: Jacking and Lifting (100-02 Jacking and Lifting - 10-Speed Automatic Transmission - 10R60)
.
-
With the engine running, place the transmission selector
lever in each gear position, holding approximately 5 seconds in each
position. Place the transmission selector lever in PARK.
-
Remove the transmission fluid fill plug.
-
Remove the transmission fluid level indicator from the transmission.

Check the transmission fluid level using the transmission fluid level indicator.
-
NOTE:
The transmission fluid level indicator uses 1
through 6 to indicate the fluid level. The different numbers are for
different vehicle models. Use the area between 3 and 4.5 when checking
the transmission fluid level. The correct transmission fluid level is
between 3 and 4.5 on the transmission fluid level indicator.
NOTE:
Do not overfill the transmission.
Using the scan tool verify the transmission fluid
temperature is between 96ºC - 101ºC (206ºF - 215ºF). The transmission
fluid level must be between 3 and 4.5 on the transmission fluid level
indicator.
-
If the transmission fluid is not at the correct level,
follow the steps for adding or removing transmission fluid.
Refer to: Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill (307-01
Automatic Transmission - 10-Speed Automatic Transmission - 10R60)
.
-
Install the transmission fluid level indicator.
-
Install the transmission fluid fill plug.

NOTE:
No factory-equipped vehicle should have more than a 25 mA
(0.025 amp) – 50 mA (0.050) draw depending on the vehicle's accessories.
Check for current drains on the battery in excess of 25 mA (0.025 amp) –
50 mA (0.050) with all the electrical accessories off and the vehicle
at rest for at least 75 minutes (depending on region)...
