TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL
Transmission fill level is 0.16 in (4 mm)from oil fill plug.
CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
LEVEL
1.Check the system for any visual leaksbefore continuing.
2.Make sure the clutch pedal is in themost upward position.
3.Remove the cap and diaphragm andinspect the fluid level. To avoidcontamination, make sure the reservoircap remains in place and fullytightened unless you are checking thefluid level.
4.Reinstall the reservoir cap anddiaphragm.
Only use fluid that meets ourspecifications. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 461).
Note:A fluid level on the step line in thereservoir is within the normal operatingrange and there is no need to add fluid. Afluid level not in the normal operating rangecould compromise the performance of thesystem. Have your vehicle checkedimmediately.

6.If the oil level is at the minimum mark,immediately add oil.
7.Reinstall the dipstick. Make sure it isfully seated.
Note:The oil consumption of new enginesreaches its normal level after approximately3,000 mi (5,000 km).
Note:Increases in oil level can occur fromfrequent short trips that do not allow theengine to get to operating temperature, aswell as frequent idling or low speed drivingfor long periods of time.
Note:If oil levels are continuously notedabove the maximum mark, schedule a visitto your authorized dealer.
ADDING ENGINE OIL
WARNING: Do not remove the fillercap when the engine is running.
WARNING: Do not add engine oilwhen the engine is hot. Failure to followthis instruction could result in personalinjury.

CHECKING THE COOLANT
When the engine is cold, check theconcentration and level of the coolant atthe intervals listed in the scheduledmaintenance information. See ScheduledMaintenance (page 528).
Note:Make sure that the coolant level isbetween the minimum and maximum markson the coolant reservoir.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. Thelevel may extend beyond the MAX mark.
If the coolant level is at or below theminimum mark, add prediluted coolantimmediately.
Maintain coolant concentration within48% to 50%, which equates to a freezepoint between -29°F (-34°C) and -35°F(-37°C). Coolant concentration should bechecked using a refractometer. We do notrecommend the use of hydrometers orcoolant test strips for measuring coolantconcentration.
Adding Coolant
WARNING: Keep your hands andclothing clear of the cooling fan.
