6. Install the dipstick making sure it is fully seated in the filler tube.

7. Remove the dipstick and inspect the fluid level. The fluid should be in

the designated areas for normal operating temperature.

Low fluid level

Do not drive the vehicle if the fluid

level is at the bottom of the dipstick

and the outside temperatures are

above 50°F (10°C).

Correct fluid level

The transmission fluid should be checked at normal operating

temperatures 120°F-140°F (50°C-60°C) on a level surface. The normal

operating temperature can be reached after approximately 20 miles

(30 km) of driving.

The transmission fluid should be in

this range if at normal operating

temperature (120°F-140°F

[50°C-60°C]).

High fluid level

Fluid levels above the safe range

may result in transmission failure.

An overfill condition of transmission

fluid may cause shift and/or

engagement concerns and/or

possible damage.

High fluid levels can be caused by an overheating condition.

Adjusting automatic transmission fluid levels

Before adding any fluid, make sure the correct type is used. The type of

fluid used is normally indicated on the dipstick and also in the

Maintenance product specifications and capacities section in this

chapter.

Use of a non-approved automatic transmission fluid may cause

internal transmission component damage.

If necessary, add fluid in 1/2 pint (250 mL) increments through the filler

tube until the level is correct.
