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°F
(32°C)
or higher.
In hilly or mountainous terrain.
When doing frequent trailer towing.
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 retail facility
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.
