How to Add Automatic Transaxle Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine
what kind of transaxle fluid to use. See
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 432.
If the fluid level is low, add only enough of
the proper fluid to bring the level into the
cross-hatched area on the dipstick.
1. Pull out the dipstick.
2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at
the dipstick hole to bring it to the proper level.
It does not take much fluid, generally less
than one pint (0.5 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 432.
3. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described under “How to Check Automatic
Transaxle Fluid,” earlier in this section.
4. When the correct fluid level is obtained, push
the dipstick back in all the way.
Manual Transaxle Fluid
It is not necessary to check the transaxle fluid level.
A transaxle fluid leak is the only reason for fluid
loss. If a leak occurs, take the vehicle to your
retailer’s service department and have it repaired
as soon as possible. See Recommended Fluids
and Lubricants on page 432 for the proper fluid
to use.
Notice: Use of manual transaxle fluid other
than that listed in the Maintenance Schedule
may damage your vehicle, and the damages
may not be covered by your warranty. Always
use the correct manual transaxle fluid in
your vehicle. See Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 432 for the correct manual
transaxle fluid.
