Automatic Transaxle Fluid - Ford Villager Owner's Manual

To protect yourself when charging a battery, always
shield your face and eyes. Make sure that you can
breathe fresh air.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid which burns skin, eyes,
and clothing.
If the acid touches someone's skin, eyes, or clothing,
immediately flush the area with water for at least 15 minutes. If
someone swallows the acid, have him or her drink lots of milk
or water first, then Milk of Magnesia, a beaten egg, or vegetable
oil. Call a doctor immediately.
Applying too much pressure on the ends when lifting a
battery could cause acid to spill. Lift the battery with a
carrier or with your hands on the opposite corners.

Automatic Transaxle Fluid

Under normal circumstances, you do not need to check the fluid
level of the transaxle since your vehicle does not use up
transaxle fluid. However, if the transaxle is not working
properly, (for example, slipping or shifting slowly), or you
notice some sign of fluid leakage, the fluid level should be
checked.
It is best to check the transaxle fluid level at normal operating
temperature, after approximately 20 miles (30 km) of driving.
However, if necessary, you can check the fluid level without
having to drive 20 miles (30 km) to obtain a normal operating
temperature if outside temperatures are above 50˚F (10˚C).
