Maintenance and Car Care

Automatic Transmission Fluid

The torque converter and the transmission are
lubricated with Automatic Transmission Fluid
(ATF).
f Please see the chapter "CAPACITIES" on
Page 359.
Do not tow the car or run the engine without ATF
in the transmission. The automatic transmission
may be damaged by even a tiny speck of dirt, only
a clean funnel or spout must be used when adding
ATF.
The ATF and transmission oil has to be checked
and changed at the intervals listed in your Mainte-
nance Schedule.
We recommend that you have the ATF and trans-
mission oil changed at your Porsche dealer, who
has the required lubricants and the necessary fil-
ling equipment.
If you suspect an oil leak in the transmission, have
your authorized Porsche dealer check it out imme-
diately.

ged at the intervals listed in your Maintenance
