1. With manual control lever in Park position, start
engine. DO NOT RACE ENGINE. Move manual control
lever through each range.
2. Immediately check fluid level with selector lever in
Park, engine running and vehicle on LEVEL surface.
At this point, when a reading is made, fluid level on the
dipstick should be at the "FULL HOT" mark.
3. If additional fluid is required, add enough fluid to
bring level to the "FULL HOT" mark on the dipstick.
If vehicle is not driven 15 expressway miles, or its
equivalent, and it becomes necessary to check fluid level, the
transmission fluid must be at room temperature 65-85°F. (20-
30°C.). With fluid at room temperature, follow steps 1, 2 and
3 below:
1. With manual control lever in Park position, start
engine. Fast idle engine for 1 minute to circulate fluid
throughout transmission and move manual control lever
through each range. DO NOT RACE ENGINE.
2. Immediately check fluid level with selector lever in
Park, engine running and vehicle on LEVEL surface.
At this point, when a reading is made, fluid level on the
dipstick should be between the two dimples located below the
"ADD" mark.
NOTE: If transmission fluid level is correctly
established at room temperature, it will appear at the
"FULL HOT" mark on the dipstick when the
transmission reaches normal operating temperature 180-
200°F. (80-92°C.).
3. If additional fluid is required, add fluid so that level
is between the two dimples located below the "ADD" mark
on the dipstick.

:
Do Not Overfili as foaming and loss
of fluid through the vent pipe might occur as fluid
heats up. If fluid is too low, expecially when cold,
complete loss of dn've may result which can cause
a transmission problem.
IMPORTANT:
When
adding
fluid, use only
DEXRON IIO-D number or equivalent automatic
transmission fluid. The difference in oil level between
"ADD" and "FULL H O T is one pint.
