Fluid Level Check
NOTE: Your vehicle has a capped transmission fill tube.
It is sealed and should not be tampered with. Your
authorized dealer has the proper tools to ensure that the
fluid level is set properly.
Automatic Transmission Fluid And Filter Change
Follow the "Maintenance Schedule" for recommended
transmission fluid and filter change intervals.
Selection of Lubricant
It is important that the proper lubricant is used in the
transmission to assure optimum transmission perfor-
mance. Use only manufacturer's recommended transmis-
sion fluid; refer to "Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine
Parts" for correct fluid type. It is important that the
transmission fluid be maintained at the prescribed level
using the recommended fluid.
Special Additives
Automatic Transmission Fluid is an engineered product
and its performance may be impaired by supplemental
additives. Therefore, do not add any fluid additives to
the transmission. The only exception to this policy is the
use of special dyes to aid in detecting fluid leaks. In
addition, avoid using transmission sealers as they may
adversely affect seals.
