Checking Fluid Level

  1. Park vehicle on level ground. Set parking brake. Start engine and move gear selector through each gear range, ending in "P". Check fluid with engine idling. Add fluid if necessary. DO NOT  overfill.
  2. Check for fluid contamination. If fluid is very dark, smells burned or contains frictional material (clutches, brake bands, etc.), change fluid and check transmission operation.
    NOTE: Check fluid at HOT range on dipstick when fluid is 122-176°F (50-80°C). Use COLD range when fluid is 86-122°F (30-50°C) and recheck fluid level when hot.
