Auto Trans Dipstick
#1
This is a late model Mustang question I hope to find an answer to.  We have a 2016 Mustang with a V6 and auto trans.  It's a daily driver my wife commutes to work with.  It is already approaching 60K miles by the time it needs another engine oil and filter change.  I want to also service the trans at that time.

Question:  In Fords wisdom the only dip[stick is about 3" long and screws into the case where old school dipstick tubes use to fit, rt. front corner.  Who makes a dipstick tube and dipstick kit I can install so I am not laying under the car trying to fill and check the fluid with the engine running?  I found one from Performance Automatic, has anybody used their stuff because it looks kind of cheap.  I believe the trans model is a 6R80.  Does Ford have a dipstick and tube for slightly older Mustang that fits?


I guess this is another attempt by Ford to prevent people from doing their own service and repair work.

Thanks for any input.
