NOTE:
Do not confuse the transmission oil inspection plug
with the clutch control fluid inspection plug and
drain plug , which are located nearer to the front
of the vehicle than the transmission oil inspection
plug.
1. Remove inspection plug .
2. Check that the oil surface reaches the open-
ing of the inspection plug hole by putting your
finger straightly into it. If insufficient, add the oil
from the inspection plug hole up to the opening.
Put your finger straightly into the inspection plug
hole after one minute has passed, and check
that the oil is filled up to the opening of the hole.
CAUTION
The added oil should be of the same grade and
viscosity as the oil originally placed in the trans-
mission.
3. Replace the gasket of the inspection plug with a
new one.
4. Install the inspection plug after coating its
threads with the specified sealant.
3.2 Replacement
1. Place a container under the drain plug .
2. Remove inspection plug and drain plug to let
the oil flow out.
WARNING
Do not check the oil level immediately after
driving, as you could be scalded by
extremely hot oil.
Give the oil time to cool before performing
the inspection.
