Automatic
Transaxle
Fluid
When
to
Check and Change
A good time to check your automatic transaxle fluid
level
is
when the engine oil is changed.
Change both the fluid and filter every
50,000
miles
(83
000
km)
if
the vehicle is mainly driven under one or
more
of
these conditions:
In heavy city traffic where the outside temperature
regularly reaches
90
OF
(32
O
C) or higher.
In hilly or mountainous terrain.
0
When doing frequent trailer towing.
0
Uses
such as found in taxi, police or delivery service.
If
you
do not use your vehicle under any of these
conditions, the fluid and filter do not require changing.
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 Aurora retailer
Service Department.
If
you
do it yourself, be sure
to
follow all the instructions
here, or
you
could get a false reading on the dipstick.
I
NOTICE:
Too
much or too little fluid can damage your
transaxle.
Too
much can mean that some
of
the
fluid could come out and fall on hot engine parts
or exhaust system parts, starting a fire. Be sure to
get an accurate reading
if
you check
your
transaxle fluid.
