Automatic Transaxle Fluid - Buick 2005 Century Owner's Manual

CAUTION:
{
Operating the engine with the air cleaner/filter
off can cause you or others to be burned.
The air cleaner not only cleans the air;
it helps to stop flame if the engine backfires.
If it is not there and the engine backfires,
you could be burned. Do not drive with it off,
and be careful working on the engine with the
air cleaner/filter off.
Notice: If the air cleaner/filter is off, a backfire
can cause a damaging engine fire. And, dirt
can easily get into your engine, which will damage
it. Always have the air cleaner/filter in place
when you are driving.

Automatic Transaxle Fluid

When to Check and Change
A good time to check the automatic transaxle fluid level
is when the engine oil is changed.
Change both the fluid and filter every 50,000 miles
(83 000 km) if the vehicle is mainly driven under one or
more of these conditions:
•
In heavy city traffic where the outside temperature
regularly reaches 90°F (32°C) or higher.
•
In hilly or mountainous terrain.
•
When doing frequent trailer towing.
•
Uses such as found in taxi, police or
delivery service.
If the vehicle is not used under any of these conditions,
change the fluid and filter at 100,000 miles (166 000 km).
See Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4.
