Automatic Transaxle Fluid; Manual Transaxle Fluid; Hydraulic Clutch - Chevrolet Optra 2005 Owner's Manual

Automatic Transaxle Fluid

It is not necessary to check the transaxle fluid level. If a
leak occurs, take the vehicle to the dealership service
department and have it repaired as soon as possible.
You may also have your fluid level checked by
your dealer or service center when you have your
oil changed.
Notice: Use of automatic transaxle fluid labeled
other than ESSO LT71141 or TOTAL ATF H50235
may damage your vehicle, and the damages may not
be covered by your warranty. Always use
ESSO LT71141 or TOTAL ATF H50235 labeled
automatic transaxle fluid.

Manual Transaxle Fluid

It is not necessary to check the transaxle fluid level. A
transaxle fluid leak is the only reason for fluid loss.
If a leak occurs, take the vehicle to the dealership
service department and have it repaired as soon as
possible. See Part D: Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 6-24 for the proper fluid to use.

Hydraulic Clutch

There is one reservoir for both the brake and the
hydraulic clutch fluid. See Brakes on page 5-30 for
more information.
The hydraulic clutch linkage in your vehicle is
self-adjusting. The master cylinder reservoir is filled with
hydraulic fluid.
It is not necessary to regularly check the fluid unless
you suspect there is a leak in the system. Adding fluid
will not correct a leak.
A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem.
Have the system inspected and repaired.
When to Check and What to Use
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how
often you should check the fluid level in your master
cylinder reservoir and for the proper fluid. See
Part B: Owner Checks and Services on page 6-18 and
Part D: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on
page 6-24.
