If an overfill occurs, excess fluid
should be removed by a qualified
technician.
Note: An overfill condition of transmission fluid may cause shift or
engagement concerns or possible damage.
Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or
cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission
operation and result in damage to internal transmission components.
Manual Transmissions
Note: Use of a non-approved transmission fluid may cause internal
transmission component damage.
See the Scheduled Maintenance chapter for scheduled intervals for
fluid checks and changes.
Your manual transmission may have an optional synthetic fluid that
allows the use of extended service intervals. A tag on the filler plug
identifies the use of the synthetic fluid.
Only use fluid that meets manufacturer specifications. See Technical
specifications in the Capacities and Specifications chapter.
