Checking Transmission
Fluid Level
IMPORTANT: Use only specified transmission
fluid (see “Specifications”).
Check transmission fluid before starting engine each
day, as follows:
1. Remove dipstick. Check fluid level as indicated
on dipstick. Fluid level may be somewhat over full
mark, as some of the fluid from transmission fluid
cooler and hoses may have drained back into
transmission. If low, add specified transmission
fluid to bring level up to full mark on dipstick.
