Automatic
Transmission
Fluid
When
to
Check
and
Change:

good
time
to
check your automatic transmission fluid level
is
when the

is changed. Refer
to
the Maintenance Schedule
to
determine
when
to
change your fluid. See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the Index.
How
to
Check:

this operation
can
be a little difficult, you may choose to have this
done at a General Motors dealership Sewice Department.
If
you
do
it yourself,
be
sure
to
follow
all the instructions here, or you could
get
a
false reading
on
the
dipstick.
