The manual transaxle lubricant must be
checked and or changed at the intervals
specified in the maintenance schedule. Only
those lubricants specified should be used in
order to prevent gear shifting difficulties or
transaxle damage.
WARNING:
The transaxle lubricant level should only
be checked when the engine is cold to
preclude the possibility of personal injury
by contact with hot components.
Recommended Oil
Use only the approved transaxle lubricant.
The recommended lubricants are complete in
themselves and the use of additives is neither
required nor recommended. The use of addi-
tives may invalidate the vehicle warranty.

OWNER MAINTENANCE
Transaxle Lubricant Level Checking
SSA6100B
Ensure that the vehicle is parked on level
ground with the parking brake firmly applied
and the engine cool. Remove the level plug
from the transaxle when lubricant should be-
gin to drip from the level hole. If the level is
low and no lubricant is seen to drip, add the
required quantity of lubricant and replace the
plug.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID
The automatic transaxle fluid level should be
checked and changed at those intervals pre-
scribed in the maintenance schedule. It is of
paramount importance that only the specified
fluid is used when replenishing or changing the
fluid. The use of other fluids may irreparably
damage the transaxle and invalidate the manu-
facturers warranty. In addition the ingress of dirt
or lint may prevent correct functioning of the
transaxle and care must be exercised to pre-
vent the ingress of such matter.
NOTE:
Automatic transaxle fluid is a red color. As
driving distance increases, the fluid color
turns darkish red gradually. It is a normal
condition and you should not judge the
need to replace based upon the changing
color.
You must replace the automatic transaxle
fluid in accordance with intervals specified
in the vehicle maintenance schedule in
section 5.
CAUTION:
The transaxle on fluid level must be
checked with the engine running and at
normal operating temperature and there-
fore care must be exercised to prevent
injury occurring through contact with
rotating or hot parts of the engine.
