To Exit Oil Level Sense Mode:
• Press Neutral, Reverse or Drive.
NOTE: Reading between the Oil Level Sensor and the dipstick may
not agree because the OLS compensates for fluid temperatures.
NOTE: To correctly check the transmission fluid level using the
dipstick, the transmission fluid must be at operating temperature.
The oil level sensor method of checking the fluid level compensates
for transmission fluid temperature between 60º C - 104º C (140º F -
220º F). Any temperature below 60º C (140º F), or above 104º C
(220º F), will result in an error code.
Transmission performance, reliability and durability are dependent on the
type of lubricating fluids used. From the factory, the transmission has been

filled with TranSynd
transmission fluid extends the service intervals. A small tag has been attached
to the dipstick identifying that the transmission is filled with TranSynd
synthetic transmission fluid. The dipstick/oil fill is located between the engine
and transmission underneath the engine access door in the bedroom.
NOTE: Using
the service intervals.
Fluid and Internal Filters Change Interval:
Fluid and internal filters may require changing earlier
depending on the severity of operating conditions. Fluid must
also be changed whenever there is evidence of dirt or high
temperature operation as indicated by discoloration, strong odor
or fluid analysis. Local conditions, severity of operation or duty
cycle will dictate more or less frequent service intervals.
NOTE: Refer to the Allison transmission owner's manual
or contact an authorized Allison service center for
change intervals.
Cold Check - Manual Check Procedures:
The concept of a cold check is to determine adequate fluid level for safe
operating until hot check can be performed.
