To find the transmission fluid dipstick, you'll need to:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source. The manual will show you exactly where the dipstick is located for your specific Road Runner model year and transmission.
2. Look under the hood: The dipstick is usually a bright colored handle (often yellow or red) sticking up from the transmission itself. It's often near the back of the engine compartment, but its exact position can vary. Look carefully around the transmission and engine.
3. If you can't locate it: Take your Road Runner to a mechanic. They'll be able to quickly identify the location of the dipstick, if it has one, and check the transmission fluid level for you. Some later model cars may not even have a dipstick and rely on indirect methods to check transmission fluid.
Important Note: When checking the transmission fluid, make sure the car is running, the engine is at operating temperature, and the car is level on a flat surface. Follow the instructions in your owner's manual precisely.
