How to Check Automatic
Transmission Fluid
It is not necessary to check the transmission fluid
level. A transmission fluid leak is the only
reason for fluid loss. If a leak occurs, take the
vehicle to the dealership service department and
have it repaired as soon as possible.
There is a special procedure for checking and
changing the transmission fluid. Because
this procedure is difficult, you should have this
done at the dealership service department.
Contact your dealer for additional information or
the procedure can be found in the service manual.
To purchase a service manual, see Service
Publications Ordering Information on page 543.
Notice: Use of the incorrect automatic
transmission fluid may damage your vehicle,
and the damages may not be covered by
your warranty. Always use the automatic
transmission fluid listed in Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 516.
Change the fluid and filter at the intervals listed in
Additional Required Services on page 508, and
be sure to use the fluid listed in Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 516.
