Quantity required (approximate):
2.1 Checking transmission oil level
1. Remove the fill plug and make sure that the
oil is level with the lower edge of the fill opening.
2. If the level is too low, add oil through the fill hole
until it is level with the lower edge of the fill
opening.
CAUTION
Add oil of the same grade and viscosity as the
original transmission oil fill. Mixing oil can dam-
age the transmission.
3. Install the fill plug.
2.2 Changing transmission oil
1. Remove the fill plug and magnetic drain plug
. Drain the oil while it is still warm. Catch the
used transmission oil in a suitable container and
dispose of it properly.
NOTE:
After operation, let the transmission cool for about
30 minutes before draining the oil. The oil will drain
more quickly while it is still warm.
2. Clean the magnetic drain plug before installing
it. Use a piece of key stock, or any other conve-
nient steel slug, to short the two magnetic poles
and divert the magnetic field.
3. Add oil through the fill plug hole until it is level
with the lower edge of the fill opening.
4. Install the fill plug.
