How
to
Add
Fluid
Manual Transmission Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind
of
transmission fluid to use. See “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
Add fluid only after checking the transmission fluid
HOT.
(A
COLD
check is used only as a reference.) If
the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper
fluid to bring the level up to the
HOT
area for a hot
check. It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less than a
pint.
Don
’t
ove$ZZ.
We
recommend you use only fluid
labeled DEXRON@-111, because fluid with that label is
made especially for your automatic transmission.
Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON@-I11 is
not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described under “How to Check.’’
When the correct fluid level
is
obtained, push the
dipstick back in all the way.
When
to
Check
and
Change
A good time to have it checked is when the engine oil is
changed. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to
determine when to change
your
transmission fluid. See
“Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the Index.
How
to
Check
Because this operation can be
a
little difficult, you may
choose
to
have this done at your Chevrolet/Geo dealer
Service Department.
If you do it yourself, be sure to follow all the
instructions here, or you could get
a
false reading.
