I seen where my truck has no dip stick for the trans. I have a 2014 Eco. I seen it the morning after I got it home when I was checking the oil. I know some of you why I check the oil on a brand new truck. Well it's a habit I have. It started when I got my first car. A 1966 ford galaxie 500 with the good old 289 v8. Leaked oil and had to check it every day and I've done it ever since

 

No dip sticks, no trans maintenance until 100,000 miles I beleive

 

I was thinking the same thing in the service . I know on my 08 F150 I had the trans serviced every 30k

 

You check your oil everyday?

You must have a lot of time on your hands. I know old habits are hard to break but dang, once a month is fine.

 

If your going to spend that kinda money on a truck you need to take care of it

 

Yeah but checking the oil everyday is overkill. Once a month is just fine.

 

Do what u want, it takes less than 5 min to check

 

You must be retired and have all the time in the world on your hands. Me I work 3 jobs and dont have the time to check the oil every day. Once a month is plenty fine for my truck.

We run our fire trucks hard everyday and we only check the oil on saturdays. Thats if the engineer has the time to do it. They have never found an issue while doing so.

Its your truck and you can do whatever you want. Oil the hinges every thursday, condition the seats on saturdays, polish the chrome on mondays. Its your time, use it wisely.

 

There is a dip stick, it's located on the tranny.
