WARNING
• When checking the transmission oil/fluid level, remember that if
the engine has been running, the transmission, engine, radiator,
hoses and dipstick are hot.
• The ignition switch must be in the LOCK (0) position or the cool
ing fan may start automatically.
C A U TIO N : If the oil/fluid level is low, check for possible leaks
before adding oil. Do not overfill.
Since the transmission and differential are in the same housing,
you are actually checking both oil/fluid levels in one procedure.
Change transmission oil/fluid according to the Maintenance
Schedule on page 57.
5-Speed
Remove the oil filler bolt (beside the right axle). Feel inside the bolt
hole with your finger. If the oil is up to the bottom edge of the hole,
the oil level is correct. If it is not, slowly add oil until it runs out of
the hole, then reinstall the bolt and tighten it securely with a
wrench.
5-SPEED TRANSMISSION
