NOTICE:

Too much or too little fluid can damage your transmission.
much can mean that some of the fluid could come out and fall
on hot engine parts, starting
a fire. Be sure to get an accurate
reading if you check
your transmission fluid. I
l-
Wait at least 30 minutes before checking the transmission fluid level if
you have been driving:
0 When outside temperatures are above 90” F (32” C).
n !‘ b
0 At high speed for quite a while.
0 In heavy traffic -- especially in hot weather.
0 While pulling a trailer.
To get the right reading, the fluid should be at normal operating
temperature, which is
180°F to 200°F (82°C to 93OC).
To check transmission fluid hot: Get the vehicle warmed up by driving
about
15 miles (24 km) when outside temperatures are above 50°F
(10°C). If it’s colder than 50°F (lO°C), drive the vehicle in “D” (3rd

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.
If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper fluid to bring the
level
up to the COLD area for a cold check or the HOT area for a hot
check. It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less than a
int. Don’t overfill.
We recommend you use only fluid labeled
DEXRON IIE, because fluids
with that label are made especially for you automatic transmission.
Damage caused
by fluid other than DEXRON@IIE is not covered by
your new vehicle warranty.
