Fluid level, automatic transmission


Start the engine and run it at idling speed. Engage D and wait at least 15 seconds. Then engage R and wait another 15 seconds. Repeat in position P.

Check the fluid level (engine running at idling speed and selector lever in P). Top up as necessary.

Pay attention to the appearance and odour of the oil. If it is turbid or discoloured and/or smells burnt, an oil change is advisable even if there is no noticeably poorer shifting performance or excessive noise.

Important

The dipstick has two sets of level marks. The amount of fluid between the maximum and minimum marks is about 0.4 litres (0.4 qts).


Grade of oil:

DEXRON III automatic transmission oil (mineral oil based).
