careful working on the engine with the air
cleaner/filter off.
Automatic Transmission Fluid
When to Check and Change Automatic
Transmission Fluid
It is usually not necessary to check the
transmission fluid level. The only reason for fluid
loss is a transmission leak or overheating the
transmission. If you suspect a small leak, then use
the following checking procedures to check the
fluid level. However, if there is a large leak, then it
may be necessary to have the vehicle towed to
a dealership service department and have it
repaired before driving the vehicle further.
Notice: Use of the incorrect automatic
transmission fluid may damage your vehicle,
and the damages may not be covered by
your warranty. Always use the automatic
transmission fluid listed in Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 635.
Change the fluid and filter at the intervals listed in
the Maintenance Schedule. See Scheduled
Maintenance (Gasoline Engine) on page 623.Be
sure to use the transmission fluid listed in
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 635.
