3.
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.
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
while it is 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).

NOTICE:
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-I11
is
not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level
as
described under
“How
to Check.”
When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the
dipstick back in all the
way.
Manual Transmission Fluid
When
to
Check
A good time to have it checked is when the engine
oil is changed. However, the fluid in your manual
transmission doesn’t require changing.
