How
to
Add
Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule
to
determine what
kind of transmission fluid
to
use. See Part D:
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page
6-
17.
Add fluid only after checking the transmission fluid while
it is 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
one pint
(0.5
L).
Don’t overfill.
Nofice:
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@
-111
is
not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
e
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; then flip the handle
down
to
lock the dipstick in place.

If the fluid level
is
in the acceptable range, push the
dipstick back in all the way; then flip the handle
down
to
lock the dipstick in place.
