5. Safe operating level is within the HOT
crosshatch band on the dipstick. If the
fluid level is not within the HOT band, and the
transmission temperature is between 160°F
and 200°F (71°C and 93°C), add or drain fluid
as necessary to bring the level into the
HOT band. If the fluid level is low, add only
enough fluid to bring the level into the
HOT band. It does not take much fluid,
generally less than one pint (0.5L). Do not
overfill.
6. If the fluid level is in the acceptable range,
push the dipstick back in all the way, then
flip the handle down to lock the dipstick
in place.
