How to Add Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind

It doesn't take much fluid, generally less than a pint.
Don't overfill. We
recommend you use only fluid labeled DEXRON@-I11
or DEXRON@-IIE,
because fluids with that label are made especially
for your automatic
transmission. Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON@-I11
or
DEXR0N'-IIE
is not covered by your new vehicle warranty.

When to Check
A good time to have it checked is when the engine oil is changed. However,

doesn't
require changing.
How to Check
Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may choose to have this
done at a GM dealership Service Department.
If you do it yourself, be sure to follow all the instructions here, or you could
get a false reading.
