Automatic Transaxle Fluid - Mitsubishi Endeavor Owner's Manual

Vehicle care and maintenance

Automatic transaxle fluid

The automatic transaxle should be maintained and serviced by
an authorized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repair facility of
your choice to obtain the best performance and longest life. It
is important that the transaxle fluid is kept at the correct level.
To check the fluid level
The fluid level should be checked when the engine temperature
gauge shows the engine is warmed up and the fluid in the tran-
saxle is heated to its normal working temperature. Driving with
the wrong fluid level will rapidly wear out the transaxle and
destroy the fluid.

idling, select each gear momentarily, ending with the
selector lever in the "P" (PARK) position.
2. The fluid level should be at the HOT mark, but never
above the HOT mark when the engine is warmed up. Add
or drain fluid to get to the correct level.
3. Make certain that the dipstick cap is installed properly to
keep dirt and water out of the transaxle.
WARNING
!
Transaxle fluid is extremely flammable and poison-
ous. Do not spill fluid when adding or draining.
