Check both sides of the dipstick, and read the lower
level. The fluid level must be in the COLD area for a
cold check or in the
HOT
area or cross-hatched area
for a hot check.
If
the fluid level is in the acceptable range, push the
dipstick back in all the way; then flip the handle
down
to lock the dipstick in place.
How
to
Add
Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind
of
transmission fluid to use. See “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
Add fluid only after checking the transmission fluid
HOT.
(A
COLD check is used only
as
a reference.) If
the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper
fluid to bring the level up to the
HOT
area for
a
hot
check.
It
doesn’t take much fluid, generally less than
one pint
(0.5
L).
Don’t
overfill.
We recommend you use
only fluid labeled DEXRON@-111, because fluid with
that label is made especially for your automatic
transmission. Damage caused by fluid other than
DEXRON-111 is not covered by your new
vehicle warranty.

described under
