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 atidle speed and normaloperating

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).

5. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean and reinsert it until

seated.

6. Remove the dipstick again and note the fluid level on

both sides. The fluid level should be between the “HOT”

(upper) reference holes on the dipstick at normal operat-

ing temperature. The fluid level is only valid if there is a

solid coating of oil is seen on both sides of the dipstick. If

the fluidislow, add asrequired into thedipsticktube. Do

not overfill. After adding any quantity of oil through the

oil filltube,wait a minimum of two (2)minutesfor the oil

to fully drain into the transmission before rechecking the

fluid level.

NOTE: If itis necessary to check thetransmission below

the operating temperature, the fluid level should be

between the two “COLD” (lower) holes on the dipstick

with the fluid at approximately 70°F (21°C) (room tem-

perature). If the fluid level is correctly established at

room temperature, it should be between the “HOT”

(upper) reference holes when the transmission reaches

180°F (82°C). Remember it is best to check the level at the

normal operating temperature.
