428 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE

Automatic Transmission

Fluid Level Check
Your vehicle is equipped with a capped transmission oil
fill tube that is sealed and it should not be tampered with.
Your authorized dealer has the proper tools to ensure that
the fluid level is set properly.
CAUTION!
Using a transmission fluid other than the manufac-
turer's recommended fluid may cause deterioration
in transmission shift quality and/or torque converter
shudder. Using a transmission fluid other than that
recommended by the manufacturer will result in
more frequent fluid and filter changes. Refer to
"Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts" in this sec-
tion for the correct fluid type.
Fluid and Filter Changes
Refer to the "Maintenance Schedule" in Section 8 for the
proper maintenance intervals.
In addition, change the fluid and filter if the transmission
is disassembled for any reason.
Special Additives
The manufacturer strongly recommends against the ad-
dition of any additives to the transmission. The only
exception to this policy is the use of special dyes to aid in
detecting fluid leaks. The use of transmission sealers
should be avoided as they may adversely affect seals.

Transfer Case

Fluid Level Check
The fluid level should be to the bottom edge of the fill
hole (1) when the vehicle is in a level position.
