Changing the automatic transaxle fluid
1. Raise and suitably support thevehicle.
2. Remove the drain plug located atthe bottom of the transaxle pan.
3. After the oil has drained complete- ly, install a new washer on the
plug, reinstall the drain plug, andtighten to 2.9~3.4 kgm (21~24lbft, 29~34 Nm).
4. Lower the vehicle.
5. Remove the automatic transaxle dipstick located near the center of
the engine compartment bulkheadand, using a funnel, add the nec-
essary amount of automatic
transaxle fluid.
Use only the specified automatic
transaxle fluid. (Refer to"Recommended Lubricants" later inthis section.)
✽✽ NOTICE
Do NOT overfill the automatic
transaxle reservoir. Doing so cancause a seal “blow out”, loss of fluid,and damage to the transaxle. If you
overfill the reservoir, you must drain
the excess prior to driving the vehi-
cle. It is likely that there will be fluid
left in the transaxle after draining,
especially if the front of the vehicle
was raised to remove the drain plug.

check the level again. Continue
this process until the level reads
