5. Inspect the color of the uid on the dipstick.
6. A safe operating uid level is within the HOT crosshatch band on the dipstick. If the uid level is not within the HOT
band, and the transmission temperature is between 82–93°C (180–200°F), add or drain uid as necessary to bring
the level into the HOT band. If the uid level is low, add only enough uid to bring the level into the HOT band.
NOTE: To assist in reaching the correct temperature range of 82–93°C (180–200°F), drive the vehicle in second gear
until the desired temperature is reached.
7. If the uid level is low, add only enough uid to bring the level into the HOT band. It does not take much uid,
generally less than one pint (0.5L). Do not overll. Also, if the uid level is low, inspect the transmission for leaks.
8. If the uid level is in the acceptable range, push the dipstick back into the dipstick tube all the way, and then ip the
handle down to lock the dipstick in place.
9. If applicable and if the vehicle is equipped, reset the transmission oil life monitor only if the uid was changed.
How to Add Fluid
Add uid only after checking the transmission uid while it is hot. (A cold check is used only as a reference.) If the uid
level is low, add only enough of the proper uid to bring the level up to the HOT area for a hot check. It doesn’t take much
uid, generally less than one pint (0.5 L). Don’t overll.
NOTICE: Use only uid labeled DEXRON® VI, because uid with that label is made especially for your automatic
transmission. Damage caused by uid other than DEXRON® VI is not covered by your transmission warranty.
• After adding uid, recheck the uid level as described under “How to Check”.
• When the correct uid level is obtained, push the dipstick back in all the way; then ip the handle down to lock the
dipstick in place.
