General Procedure

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, REFER to Lifting Points .

2. NOTE: Prior to removal, clean the area around the fill plug.

Remove the fill plug.





3. NOTE: Do not overfill the transaxle. This causes transmission fluid to be forced out of the case.

Using a suitable oil suction gun, fill the transaxle to the correct level with the specified fluid. Add transmission fluid until the oil runs out of the fill port in a continuous stream. The transaxle is full when the oil flow from the fill port has slowed to a broken stream or dripping.





4. NOTE: Use a ball head hex socket to tighten the transaxle fill plug.

Install the fill plug.
- Tighten to 43 Nm (32 lb-ft).
