STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - CHECK OIL LEVEL
(1) Verify that the vehicle is parked on a level sur-
face.
(2) Remove locking pin (1) (Fig. 111). Remove the
plate of the locking pin with a suitable tool and press
out the pin remaining in the cap downwards.
(3) Remove cap (2).
WARNING: Risk of accident from vehicle starting off
by itself when engine running. Risk of injury from
contusions and burns if you insert your hands into
the engine when it is started or when it is running.
Secure vehicle to prevent it from moving off by
itself. Wear properly fastened and close-fitting work
clothes. Do not touch hot or rotating parts.
(4) Actuate the service brake. Start engine and let
it run at idle speed in selector lever position 9P9.
(5) Shift through the transmission modes several
times with the vehicle stationary and the engine
idling
(6) Warm up the transmission, wait at least 2 min-
utes and check the oil level with the engine running.
Push the Oil Dipstick 8863 in up to the stop and pull
out again, read off oil level, repeat if necessary.
(7) Check transmission oil temperature.
(8) The transmission Oil Dipstick 8863 has indica-
tor marks every 10mm. Determine the height of the
oil level on the dipstick and using the height, the
transmission temperature, and the Transmission
Fluid Graph (Fig. 112), determine if the transmission
oil level is correct.
(9) Add additional oil if necessary. Use Funnel
8908 to add oil.
(10) If the oil level is above the correct height, use
Pump 8910 to remove the excess oil
(11) Re-check oil level as necessary.
(12) Once the oil level is correct, install a new dip-
stick tube cap (2) (Fig. 113) and lock pin (1).
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TRANSMISSION
FILL
To avoid overfilling transmission after a fluid
change or overhaul, perform the following procedure:
(1) Verify that the vehicle is parked on a level sur-
face.
(2) Remove locking pin (1) (Fig. 114). Remove the
plate of the locking pin with a suitable tool and press
out the pin remaining in the cap downwards.
(3) Remove cap (2).
(4) Insert clean Funnel 8908 in transmission fill
tube.
(5) Add following initial quantity of Shellt 3403 to
transmission:
(a) If only fluid and filter were changed, add 5.0
L (10.6 pts.) of transmission fluid to transmission.
(b) If transmission was completely overhauled,
torque converter was replaced or drained, and
cooler was flushed, add 7.7 L (16.3 pts.) of trans-
mission fluid to transmission.
(6) Check the transmission fluid (Refer to 21 -
TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC -
W5J400/FLUID - STANDARD PROCEDURE) and
adjust as required.
