Q: Does a 2013 Ford Focus have transmission fluid?

2013 Ford Focus Transmission Fluid If you dont routinely change your fluids at least every 30,000 miles or so, you may find that your 2013 Ford Focus transmission will slip.

Our research indicates that your vehicle does not have a transmission fluid dipstick. These types of transmissions are designed to be maintenance free. In order to check the transmission fluid, your vehicle likely has check valve on the bottom of the transmission on the bottom of your car. Your car must be level when the fluid is checked and we therefore recommend having a mechanic with a hydraulic lift or underground bay check your transmission fluid. Any fluid leaks for this type of transmission should be treated by a mechanic.

According to the owners manual, the transmission fluid level in a 2013 Ford Focus should be done by an authorized dealer or certified technician every time the oil is changed. This focus does not have a transmission fluid dipstick so the level has to be checked via the fill hole. The car must be on a level surface and the front driver side tire needs to be removed. The fill hole plug is located just above the driver side CV axle shaft, when looking in at the transmission from the wheel well, it's juSTSlightly behind the subframe. The best way to remove it is with A8 millimeter Allen key on a swivel extension. The fluid should be level with the bottom of the threads on the fill hole.
