2021 Limited with 10-speed transmission:
I just did my break-in oil change & Fumoto oil valve-plug install. It's our first Expedition, so I'm using the opportunity to get acquainted while I'm down there. Located the ATF dipstick as anticipated.
Can someone tell me what would happen if I pulled the ATF dipstick with the engine off and cold? Is it like on some other vehicles whereby with the engine off, the ATF level rises above the check port?
Most posts focus on checking the level of the fluid, but I just want to know if I can occasionally check the color/smell of the ATF without burning myself or spewing ATF all over.
Cheers.
