Where is the automatic transmission drain plug located on 1 2006 V6 Ford Escape?

The 2006 Ford Escape V6 doesn't have a readily accessible drain plug on the automatic transmission. Instead, the transmission fluid is typically changed via a process that involves removing the transmission pan. This pan is located underneath the vehicle, towards the front, and is bolted to the transmission. You'll need to remove the pan to access the fluid and filter (if it's a filter-type transmission). This is generally a more involved procedure than simply draining with a plug.
