6. Remove the dipstick, wipe clean with a dry lint free rag.
7. Install and fully seat the dipstick into the filler tube.
8. Remove the dipstick and inspect
the fluid level. Level should be
in the cross-hatched area.
9. If necessary, add fluid in 250ml (1/2 pint) increments through the
filler tube until the level is correct at normal operating temperatures.
Refer to theLubricant specificationssection in this chapter for the
correct fluid type. The use of any other non-approved fluid may
cause internal transmission damage.

temperatures between 10–30°C
(50–95°F). DO NOT ADD fluid
until the transmission is at
normal operating temperatures or the transmission will be overfilled.

Do not drive the vehicle if the fluid
level is at or below the bottom of
the dipstick.
High fluid level
Fluid levels above the safe range
may cause overheating, shift and/or
engagement concerns and internal
transmission damage. If an overfill
condition occurs, excess fluid should
be removed by a qualified technician.
