for correct fluid type. It is important that the transmission

fluid be maintained at the prescribed level using the

recommended fluid.

CAUTION!

Using a transmission fluid other than the manufac-

turer’s recommended fluid may cause deterioration

in transmission shift quality and/or torque converter

shudder. Using a transmission fluid other than the

manufacturer’s recommended fluid will result in

more frequent fluid and filter changes. Refer to

Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts for correct

fluid type.

Fluid Level Check

NOTE: If equipped with a dipstick, use the following

procedure. If your vehicle has a capped dipstick tube, it

is sealed and should not be tampered with. Your autho-

rized dealer has the proper tools to ensure that the fluid

level is set properly.

Check the fluid level while the transmission is at normal

operating temperature. This occurs after at least 15 miles

(25 km) of driving. At normal operating temperature the

fluid cannot be held comfortably between the fingertips.

To check the automatic transmission fluid level properly,

the following procedure must be used:

1. Operate the engine at idle speed and normal operating

temperature.

2. The vehicle must be on level ground.

3. Fully apply the parking brake and press the brake

pedal.

4. Place the gear selector momentarily in each gear

position ending with the lever in P (Park).
