July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Oil Cooler Flow Check

  1. With transaxle filled to proper fluid level, disconnect oil cooler return line from transaxle (rear line). Place container under oil cooler return line.
  2. Apply parking brake. Start engine and allow to idle. Place gear selector lever in Neutral. Check fluid flow from oil cooler return line.
  3. If fluid flow is consistent and takes 20 seconds or less to obtain one quart, oil pump volume and oil cooler flow are okay. If fluid flow is intermittent or takes more than 20 seconds to obtain one quart, disconnect oil cooler inlet line. Refill transaxle to proper level and recheck flow.
  4. If fluid flow is intermittent or takes more than 20 seconds to obtain one quart, check line pressure. See HYDRAULIC PRESSURE TESTS  under PERFORMANCE TESTS. If fluid flow is consistent and takes 20 seconds or less to obtain one quart, replace oil cooler. Reconnect oil cooler lines. Fill transaxle with appropriate ATF. See LUBRICATION .
