NOTE
The transmission oil does not normally need to be changed during the service life of the vehicle. However, it may be necessary to replace
the oil if the vehicle is often driven in areas of sustained temperature extremes (hot or cold), when towing a trailer over long distances, for
prolonged driving in mountainous areas, or if the vehicle is often driven short distances in temperatures under 40°F (5°C).
