How to Add Fluid
3.
4.
3800 or 3800 Supercharged Engine
Check both sides of the dipstick, and read the
lower level. The fluid level must be in the
cross-hatched area.
If the fluid level is in the acceptable range, push the
dipstick back in all the way.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind
of
transaxle fluid to use. See "Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants" in the Index.
If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper
fluid to bring the level into the cross-hatched area on
the dipstick.
1. Pull out the dipstick.
2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the
dipstick hole to bring it to the proper level. It doesn't
take much fluid, generally less than one pint (0.5 L).
Don't overfill. We recommend you use only fluid
labeled DEXR0N'-111,
because fluid with that label
is made especially for
your automatic transaxle.
Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON-I11 is
not covered by your new vehicle warranty.

When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the
