necessary, add automatic transmission
fluid DEXRONrII or III.

km/h (50 mph) for 20 minutes (a little
more in frigid temperatures), the fluid is
hot (60_C–80_C or 140_F–175_F). You
may also check the level when the fluid
is cold (about room temperature,
10_C–30_C or 50_F–85_F) if the engine
has not been run for about five hours.

range. Similarly, if it is hot, the fluid level
