Automatic transmission fluid
WARNING
Never let automatic transmission fluid contact your eyes because
automatic transmission fluid can be harmful to your eyes. If auto-
matic transmission fluid gets in your eyes, immediately flush
them thoroughly with clean water. For safety, when performing
this work, wearing eye protection is advisable.
The automatic transmission fluid expands largely as its temperature
rises; the fluid level differs according to fluid temperature. Therefore,
there are two different scales for checking the level of hot fluid and cold
fluid on each side of the dipstick.
Though the fluid level can be checked without warming up the fluid on
the “COLD” side, we recommend checking the fluid level when the fluid
is operating temperature.
J Checking the fluid level when the fluid is hot
Check the fluid level monthly.
1. Drive the vehicle several miles to raise the temperature of the trans-
mission fluid up to normal operating temperature; 140 to 176°F (60 to 80
