Selection Of Lubricant
It is important to use the proper transmission fluid to ensure
optimum transmission performance and life. Use only the
manufacturer's specified transmission fluid. Refer to "Fluids
And Lubricants" in "Technical Specifications" for fluid spec-
ifications. It is important to maintain the transmission fluid
at the correct level using the recommended fluid. No chem-
ical flushes should be used in any transmission; only the
approved lubricant should be used.
CAUTION!
Using a transmission fluid other than the manufacturer's
recommended fluid
transmission shift quality. Refer to "Fluids And
Lubricants" in "Technical Specifications" for fluid
specifications.
Special Additives
The manufacturer strongly recommends against using any
special additives in the transmission.
Transmission fluid is an engineered product and its perfor-
mance may be impaired by supplemental additives. There-
fore, do not add any fluid additives to the transmission. The
only exception to this policy is the use of special dyes for
diagnosing fluid leaks.
may cause deterioration
Do not use chemical flushes in your transmission as the
chemicals can damage your transmission components.
Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Fluid Level Check
The fluid level is preset at the factory and does not require
adjustment under normal operating conditions. Frequent
fluid level checks are not required, but have your authorized
dealer check the fluid level as specified in the Maintenance
Schedule to ensure proper transmission function and
longevity. The transmission has no dipstick, but your autho-
rized dealer can check your transmission fluid level using
in
special service tools. If you notice fluid leakage or transmis-
sion malfunction, visit your authorized dealer immediately
to have the transmission fluid level checked. Operating the
vehicle with an improper fluid level can cause severe trans-
mission damage.
Fluid Changes
Under normal operating conditions, the fluid installed at the
factory will provide satisfactory lubrication for the life of the
vehicle. However, change the fluid if it becomes contami-
nated (with water, etc.), or if the transmission is disassem-
bled for any reason.
CAUTION!
