How
to
Add
Fluid
Rear
Axle
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule
to
determine what
kind of transmission fluid to use. See “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
Add fluid only after checking the transmission fluid
while it is hot.
(A
cold check
is
used only as a
reference.) If the fluid level is low, add only enough of
the proper fluid to bring the level
up
to the
HOT
area for
a
hot check. It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less
than one pint
(0.5
L).
Don’t
ove~iZZ.
NOTICE:
We recommend you use only fluid labeled
DEXRON@-111, because fluid with that label is
made especially
for
your automatic transmission.
Damage caused
by
fluid other than DEXRON-I11
is not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described under “How
to
Check.”
When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the
dipstick back
in
all the way; then flip the handle
down
to
lock the dipstick in place.
When to Check and Change Lubricant
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how
often to check the lubricant and when
to
change it. See
“Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the Index.
How
to
Check Lubricant
If the level
is
below the bottom
of
the filler plug hole,
you’ll need to add some lubricant. Add enough lubricant
to raise the level to the bottom of the filler plug hole.
