3. If additional fluid is required, add fluid to the
F U L L mark on the dipstick.
If vehicle is not driven 15 expressway miles or
equivalent and it becomes necessary to check fluid
level, the transmission fluid must be at room tem­
perature (70 °F).
With fluid at room temperature (70°F), follow
steps 1, 2 and 3 below:
1. With manual control lever in Park position,
start engine. DO NOT R A C E ENGINE. Move manual
control lever through each range.
2. Immediately check fluid level with selector
lever in Park, engine running and vehicle on L E V E L
surface.
At this point, when a reading is made, fluid level
on the dipstick should be 1/4" below the ADD mark.
3. If additional fluid is required, add fluid to bring
level to 1/4" below the ADD mark on the dipstick.
CA UTION: Do Not Overfill, as foaming and loss
of fluid through the vent pipe might occur as fluid
heats up. If fluid is too low, especially when cold,
complete loss of drive may result which can cause
transmission failure.
NOTE: If transmission fluid level is correctly
established at 70°F, it will appear at the FULL
mark on the dipstick when the transmission
reaches normal operating temperature (180°F).
The fluid level is set 1/4" below the ADD mark
on the dipstick to allow for expansion of the fluid
which occurs as transmission temperatures rise to
normal operating temperature of 180°F.
IMPORTANT: When adding fluid, use only DEX-
RON automatic transmission fluid. The difference
in oil level between ADD and FULL is one pint.
