How to Add Automatic Transaxle Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine

proper fluid to bring the level into the cross
hatched area on the dipstick.

the dipstick hole to bring it to the proper level.
It does not take much fluid, generally less
than a half pint (0.24 L). Do not overfill.
Notice: Use of the incorrect automatic
transaxle fluid may damage your vehicle, and
the damages may not be covered by your
warranty. Always use the automatic transaxle
fluid listed in Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 415.
3. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described under “How to Check Automatic
Transaxle Fluid,” earlier in this section.

reinstall the dipstick back in all the way.
