It does not take much fluid,
generally less than 0.5 L (1 pt).
Do not overfill.
After adding fluid, recheck the
fluid level as described under
How to Check Automatic
Transmission Fluid, earlier in
this section.
When the correct fluid level is
obtained, push the dipstick
back in all the way; then flip the
handle down to lock the dipstick
in place.
A good time to check the manual
transmission fluid is when the
engine oil is changed. However, the
fluid in the manual transmission
does not require changing.
Because this operation can be a
little difficult, it may be decided to
have this done at the dealer service
department.
If not taken to the dealer, be sure to
follow all the instructions here, or a
false reading on the dipstick could
result.
Check the fluid level only when
the engine is off, the vehicle is
parked on a level place and the
transmission is cool enough to
touch the transmission case.
After this is done:
1. Remove the fill plug.
2. Check that the lubricant level
is up to the bottom of the fill
plug hole.
