Adding transaxle fluid
Before adding any fluid, be sure the correct type is
being used (this is indicated on the transaxle
dipstick).
Add fluid in 250 ML (1/2 pint) increments through
the filler tube to bring the level within the
crosshatched area. If the level is above the top hole
on the dipstick, a qualified technician should remove
the excess fluid.
Always dispose of automotive fluids in a responsible
manner. Follow your community's standards for
disposing of these types of fluids. Call your local
recycling center to find out about recycling
automotive fluids.
