Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill: Refill
- Use only clean automatic transmission fluid.
- Once the fluid exchange has been completed, disconnect the flush and fill machine. Reconnect any disconnected fluid cooler tubes.
- With the engine running and the transmission at normal operating temperature 66-77°C (150-170 °F), check and adjust the transmission fluid level and check for any leaks. If fluid is needed, add fluid in increments of 0.24-liter (0.5-pint) until the correct level is achieved (fluid should be in the crosshatched area of the fluid level indicator).
- Position the magnet into the transmission fluid pan.
- Install the fluid pan and gasket.
- Position the fluid pan with the gasket in place.
- Install the bolts.
- Fill the transmission.
- Add 4.7 liters (5 qts) of clean automatic transmission fluid to the transmission through the fluid filler tube.
- Start the engine. Move the transmission range selector lever through all the gear ranges, checking for engagements.
- With the engine running and the transmission at normal operating temperature 66-77°C (150-170 °F), check and adjust the transmission fluid level and check for any leaks. If fluid is needed, add fluid in increments of 0.24-liter (0.5-pint) until the correct level is achieved (fluid should be in the crosshatched area of the fluid level indicator).
NOTE:
The fluid pan gasket is reusable, clean and inspect for damage. If not damaged, the gasket should be reused.
CAUTION:
The use of any other transmission fluid can result in the transmission failing to operate in a normal manner or transmission failure.
