LEVEL CHECK AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE

1) Stop vehicle and place it level.
2) Apply parking brake and place chocks against wheels.
3) With selector at P position, start engine.
4) Warm up engine till fluid temperature reaches normal operating
temperature (70 – 80 C/158 – 176 F). As a guide to check fluid
temperature, warm up engine till engine coolant temperature
meter indicates as shown in figure.
5) Keep engine idling and shift selector slowly to L and back to P
position.
6) With engine idling, pull out dipstick, wipe it off with a clean cloth
and put it back into place.
7) Pull out dipstick again and check fluid level indicated on it. The
lowest fluid level should be between FULL HOT and LOW HOT.
If it is below LOW HOT, and an equivalent of DEXRON
to FULL HOT.
An equivalent of DEXRON -III or DEXRON -IIE
NOTE:
Do not race engine while checking fluid level, even after
the engine start.
Do not overfill. Overfilling can cause foaming and loss of
fluid through breather. Then slippage and transmission
failure can result.
Bringing the level from LOW HOT to FULL HOT requires
0.4 liters (0.85/0.70 US/Imp. pt).
If vehicle was driven under high load such as pulling a
trailer, fluid level should be checked about half an hour
after it is stopped.
