How
to
Check
Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may
choose to have this done at your Aurora retail facility
Service Department.
If
you
do it yourself,
be
sure to follow all the instructions
here, or
you
could get a false reading on the dipstick.
To
get the right reading, the fluid should be
at
normal
operating temperature, which
is
180°F
to
200°F
(82°C
to 93°C).
Get the vehicle warmed up by driving about
15
miles
(24
km) when outside temperatures are above
50°F
(10°C).
If
it's colder than
50°F
(lO"C),
you
may
have
to drive longer.
NOTICE:
Too
much or too little fluid can damage your
transaxle.
Too
much can mean that some of the
fluid could come
out and fall on hot engine parts
or exhaust system parts, starting a fire. Be sure to
get an accurate reading if you check your
transaxle fluid.
Wait at least
30
minutes before checking the transaxle
fluid level if
you
have been driving:
0
When outside temperatures are above 90
OF
(32
O
C).
0

In heavy traffic
--
especially in hot weather.
While pulling a trailer.
Checking the Fluid Level
Park your vehicle on
a
level place. keep the
engine running.

the brake pedal, move the shift
lever through each gear range, pausing for about
three seconds in each range. Then, position the shift
lever in PARK (P).
