Some applications may vary based on coolersize and if equipped with an in-tank cooler. You should set the amount of transmissionfluid and fluid level by the indication on the dipstick’s normal operating range.9Fill to the proper capacity according to dipstick Type A. For correct dipstick type, SeeAutomatic Transmission Fluid Check (page 240).9Fill to the proper capacity according to dipstick Type B.
