CHECK OIL LEVEL

Park the vehicle on a level surface.
1. Make sure the key-switch is in the "OFF"
position, then remove the key.
2. Place the forward-reverse switch in the
center "OFF" position.
3. Set the park brake.
4. Place blocks under the front wheels to
prevent vehicle movement.
5. Disconnect the main positive and negative
cables at the batteries.
6. Place a drain pan that can hold a minimum of
2-quarts of oil under the transmission level plug.
7. Remove the level plug. When the plug is removed,
a small amount of oil should come out. This
indicates that the transmission has the correct
amount of oil.
Always use a lifting strap, hoist, and jack
stands, of adequate capacity to lift and support
the vehicle. Failure to use lifting and support
devices of rated load capacity may result in
severe bodily injury.
8. If no oil comes out, then lift the side of the vehicle
with the level plug and add 11-ounces of oil through
the level plug hole. See the illustration below.
9. Lower the vehicle, allow any excess oil to drain into
the drain pan, and then reinstall the level plug.
10. Reconnect the main positive and negative cables
at the batteries.
11. Remove blocks from behind the wheels.
12. Test drive the vehicle
