If you choose to do it yourself, then
be sure to follow all the instructions
below or you could get a false
reading on the dipstick.
Position of the Dipstick
For the single cab diesel vehicle,
the dipstick is located to the left side
of the automatic transmission at the
rear of the engine. Tilt the cab up to
inspect it.
For the single cab gasoline vehicle,
the dipstick is located to the right
side of the automatic transmission
at the rear of the engine. Tilt the cab
up to inspect it.
For the crew cab gasoline vehicle,
the dipstick is located beneath the
rear-of-engine inspection panel.
After unlatching the A/T fluid
inspection cover, the dipstick will be
visible.
Inspection
Wait at least 30 minutes before
checking the transmission fluid if
you have been driving at high speed
for a long period of time, in city/
heavy traffic or while pulling a trailer.
1. Start the engine, and drive the
vehicle for approximately
10 minutes to warm up the
engine. During 10 minutes, the
automatic transmission fluid
should reach a temperature of
approximately 70 - 80 °C (158 -
176 °F). During the winter
when temperatures are low,
adjust the amount of driving
time according to the actual
conditions.
2. Park the vehicle on level
ground, and firmly apply the
parking brake.
