CARE AND MAINTENANCE
ENGINE COMPARTMENT 01051
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL
The automatic transmission oil level dipstick is
accessible through the engine compartment rear
door and is located on the left side of the engine.
To check the transmission oil level, a "cold
check" and a "hot check" must be performed. A
cold check must be made when the transmission
oil is between 60°F and 140°F (16°C and 60°C).
Note: Perform the cold check first to verify the
transmission oil level before performing the hot
check.
Warning: To prevent personal injury, do not
service transmission wearing loose clothing.
Stand clear of the engine and rotating
components while checking the oil level.
To prevent dirt and foreign matter from entering
the transmission, clean the end of the oil fill tube
before removing dipstick. To remove dipstick,
unscrew filler cap approximately three turns and
pull out dipstick.
Cold Check
Run the engine until the transmission oil
temperature is between 60°F and 140°F (16°C
and 60°C). With the engine idling, make sure
the parking brake is applied and the
transmission is in neutral (N). Remove and wipe
the dipstick with a clean cloth. Check oil level. If
the oil level is within the COLD RUN band, the oil
level is correct and a hot check can be
performed. If the oil level is on or below the
lower line of the COLD RUN band, add oil until
the level lies within the COLD RUN band. If the
oil level is above the COLD RUN band, drain oil
until the level is within the band.

Caution: The oil level rises as oil temperature
rises. Do not add oil above the "cold run" band
before the transmission reaches 160 ° F to 250 ° F
(70 ° C to 120 ° C).
Hot Check
Make sure the transmission oil temperature is
between 160°F and 250°F (70°C and 120°C)
before performing the hot check. Run the engine
between 1,000 and 1,200 RPM for approximately
one minute to purge air from the system. With
the engine idling and the parking brake applied,
shift transmission from forward (D) to reverse
(R) and back into neutral (N) to fill clutch cavities
with oil. Remove and clean dipstick, then check
oil level. If the oil level is on or under the lower
HOT RUN line, add just enough oil to bring up
the level to the middle of the HOT RUN band.

Note: Approximately 1 quart (0.95 liters) of oil
will raise the oil level from the lower line of the
HOT RUN band to the middle of the HOT RUN
band.
Replace dipstick and tighten the filler tube cap
until the rubber seal is correctly seated.
Caution: Do not overfill transmission oil
reservoir. Severe damage may result.

system. The hydraulic fluid tank is located in the
engine compartment.
