0B-12 Maintenance and Lubrication:

Automatic Transmission Fluid Change

1) Inspect transmission case for evidence of fluid
leakage. Repair leaky point, if any.
2) Make sure that vehicle is placed level.
3) Change fluid referring to "A/T Fluid Change: in
Section 5A".
Automatic Transmission Fluid Cooler Hose
Inspection
Check automatic transmission fluid cooler hose for fluid
leakage, cracks, damage and deterioration. Replace
hose and/or clamp if any faulty condition is found.

Transfer Oil Inspection (If Equipped)

1) Check transfer case for evidence of oil leakage.
Repair leaky point if any.
2) Make sure that vehicle is placed level for oil level
check.
3) Check oil level referring to "Transfer Oil Level Check:
Motor-Shift Type (Transfer with Shift Actuator) in
Section 3C" or "Transfer Oil Level Check: Non-Shift
Type (Transfer without Shift Actuator) in Section 3C".

Differential Oil Inspection

1) Check differential for evidence of oil leakage.
Repair leaky point if any.
2) Make sure that vehicle is placed level for oil level
check.
3) Remove level / filler plug of differentials (front and/or
rear) and check oil level.
Oil level can be checked roughly by means of level
plug hole. That is, if oil flows out of level plug hole or
if oil level is found up to hole when level / filler plug is

removed, oil is properly filled.
If oil is found insufficient, pour specified amount of

Transfer (If Equipped) and Differential Oil
Change
Change transfer oil and differential oil (front and rear)
with new specified oil respectively.
For transfer, refer to "Transfer Oil Change: Motor-Shift
Type (Transfer with Shift Actuator) in Section 3C" or
"Transfer Oil Change: Non-Shift Type (Transfer without
Shift Actuator) in Section 3C".
