How to Add Fluid

Release the tab and pull out the dipstick and wipe it
with a clean rag or paper towel.
Push it back in all the way, wait three seconds and
then pull it back out again.
Check both sides of the dipstick, and read the lower
level. The fluid level must be between the two
dimples in the hot range.
If the fluid level is in the acceptable range, push the
dipstick back in all the way.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of transaxle fluid to use. See "Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants" in the Index.
If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper
fluid to bring the level into the area
between dimples
on
the dipstick.
1. Pull out the dipstick.
2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the
dipstick hole to bring it to the proper level. It doesn't
take much fluid, generally less than a pint (OSL).
Don
't
ove@ZZ. We recommend you use only fluid
labeled DEXRON@-111, because fluid with that
label is made especially for your automatic transaxle.
Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON@-I11
is not covered by your new vehicle warranty.
After adding fluid, recheck
the
fluid level as
described under "How to Check."
When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the
dipstick back in all the way.
