Me, my dad, and a few of my friends have looked everywhere and cannot find out where to add or check transmission fluid. Any help is greatly appreciated

On the drivers sides of the engine, find the dipstick with the red handle, check fluid when hot and parked on level ground. Fluid should be hot to the touch, Add fluid through the dipstick tube with a funnell. Mercon is the fluid type.

it's a little hard to find! it's down below the left side of battery when viewed from standing in front of car with hood open. the plastic air intake dohickey that ford put right in front top over radiator is blocking/distracting your view. i usually remove it as it aint really necessary for proper function.it's just some designers this is what i get paid for ideal nonsense.
