Correct fluid level

The transmission fluid should be checked at normal operating

temperature 66°C-77°C (150°F-170°F) on a level surface. The normal

operating temperature can be reached after approximately 30 km (20

miles) of driving.

You can check the fluid without driving if the ambient temperature is

above 10°C (50°F). However, if fluid is added at this time, an overfill

condition could result when the vehicle reaches normal operating

temperature.

The transmission fluid should be in

this range if at normal operating

temperature (66°C-77°C

[150°F-170°F]).

The transmission fluid should be in

this range if at ambient temperature

(10°C-35°C [50°F-95°F]).

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

Lubricant specifications section in this chapter.
