The transmission fluid should be in this
range if at normal operating temperature
(150°F-170°F [66°C-77°C]).
The transmission fluid should be checked
at normal operating temperature
150°F-170°F (66°C-77°C) on a level
surface. The normal operating temperature
can be reached after approximately 20
miles (30 km) of driving. You can check
the fluid without driving if the ambient
temperature is above 50°F (10°C).
However, if fluid is added at this time, an
overfill condition could result when the
vehicle reaches normal operating
temperature
High fluid level
E161553
Fluid levels above the safe range may
result in transmission failure. An overfill
condition of transmission fluid may cause
shift and/or engagement concerns and/or
possible damage. High fluid levels can be
caused by an overheating condition.
Adjusting automatic transmission
fluid levels
Note: Use of a non-approved automatic
transmission fluid may cause internal
transmission damage. Before adding any
fluid, make sure the correct type is used. The
type of fluid used is normally indicated on
the transmission dipstick and also in the
See Capacities and Specifications (page

Add fluid in ½ pint (250 ml) increments
through the filler tube until the level is
correct.
Note: If an overfill occurs, excess fluid
should be removed by an authorized dealer.
An overfill condition of transmission fluid
may cause shift and/or engagement
concerns and/or possible damage.
Do not use supplemental transmission
fluid additives, treatments or cleaning
agents. The use of these materials may
affect transmission operation and result
in damage to internal transmission
components.
Automatic transmission fluid filter
The TorqShift™ automatic transmission
is equipped with a serviceable transmission
fluid filter located inside the transmission
bottom pan. Refer to the scheduled
maintenance information for service
intervals for the automatic transmission
fluid and transmission filter. For
transmission filter maintenance, see your
authorized dealer.
BRAKE FLUID CHECK
Fluid levels between the MIN and MAX
lines are within the normal operating range;
there is no need to add fluid. If the fluid
levels are outside of the normal operating
range, the performance of the system
could be compromised; seek service from
your authorized dealer immediately.
