Lightbulb DIY: Check the Automatic Transmission Fluid Level

  • Park the vehicle on a level surface.
  • With the engine idling and the parking brake applied, shift the selector into all positions from "P" to "L", and then shift into "P" position.
  • Pull out the dipstick and wipe off the fluid with a clean rag. Re-insert the dipstick and check that the fluid level is in the HOT range.
  • Do this check with the fluid at normal driving temperature (70 - 80°C, 158 - 176°F) .

HINT: Wait until the engine cools down (approx. 30 mm .) before checking the fluid level after extended driving at high speeds, in hot weather, in heavy traffic or pulling a trailer.





If necessary add ATF DEXRON-II or DEXRON III
