Automatic Transmission Fluid

When to Check and Change Automatic

Transmission Fluid

A good time to check your automatic transmission ﬂuid

level is when the engine oil is changed.

Change the ﬂuid and ﬁlter at the intervals listed in

Additional Required Services on page 6-6, and be sure

to use the transmission ﬂuid listed in Recommended

Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-12.

How to Check Automatic

Transmission Fluid

Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may

choose to have this done at the dealer/retailer service

department.

If you do it yourself, be sure to follow all the instructions

here, or you could get a false reading on the dipstick.

Notice: Too much or too little ﬂuid can damage

your transmission. Too much can mean that some

of the ﬂuid could come out and fall on hot engine

parts or exhaust system parts, starting a ﬁre.

Too little ﬂuid could cause the transmission to

overheat. Be sure to get an accurate reading if you

check your transmission ﬂuid.

Wait at least 30 minutes before checking the

transmission ﬂuid level if you have been driving:

• When outside temperatures are above 90°F (32°C).

• At high speed for quite a while.

• In heavy traffic — especially in hot weather.

• While pulling a trailer.

To get the right reading, the ﬂuid should be at normal

operating temperature, which is 180°F to 200°F

(82°C to 93°C).

Get the vehicle warmed up by driving about 15 miles

(24 km) when outside temperatures are above 50°F

(10°C). If it is colder than 50°F (10°C), you may have to

drive longer.
