Automatic Transmission Fluid; How To Inspect The Engine Air Cleaner/Filter - Pontiac Solstice 2010 Owner's Manual

How to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
To inspect the air cleaner/filter remove the filter from
the vehicle and lightly shake the filter to release
loose dust and dirt. If the filter remains caked with
dirt, a new filter is required.
To inspect or replace the filter, open the clamps that
hold the cover on and lift off the cover. Be sure to
reinstall the cover tightly.
WARNING:
{
Operating the engine with the air cleaner/filter off
can cause you or others to be burned. The air
cleaner not only cleans the air; it helps to stop
flames if the engine backfires. If it is not there and
the engine backfires, you could be burned. Do not
drive with it off, and be careful working on the
engine with the air cleaner/filter off.
Notice: If the air cleaner/filter is off, a backfire can
cause a damaging engine fire. And, dirt can easily get
into the engine, which will damage it. Always have
the air cleaner/filter in place when you are driving.

Automatic Transmission Fluid

It is not necessary to check the transmission fluid level.
A transmission fluid leak is the only reason for fluid loss.
If a leak occurs, take your vehicle to a dealer/retailer and
have it repaired as soon as possible.
Change the fluid and filter at the intervals listed in the
Maintenance Schedule. See Scheduled Maintenance on
page 7-3. Be sure to use the transmission fluid listed in
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 7-10.
Notice: Use of the incorrect automatic transmission
fluid may damage the vehicle, and the damages
may not be covered by the vehicle's warranty.
Always use the automatic transmission fluid listed in
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 7-10.
