To change the transmission oil and oil filter
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the center bottom panel. (See
page 9-19.)
3. Follow steps 1–3 of the "To change the
transmission oil" section for the oil drain-
ing procedure.
4. Remove the oil filter cartridge with an oil
filter wrench. Make sure the O-ring is re-
moved together with the oil filter car-
