How to Check

Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may

choose to have this done at the dealership 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. 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’s colder than 50 F (10 C), drive the

vehicle in DRIVE (D) until the engine temperature gage

moves and then remains steady for 10 minutes. Then

follow the hot check procedures.

Checking Transmission Fluid Cold

A cold check is made after the vehicle has been sitting

for eight hours or more with the engine off and is used

only as a reference. Let the engine run at idle for five

minutes if outside temperatures are 50 F (10 C) or

more. If it’s colder than 50 F (10 C), you may have to

idle the engine longer. Should the fluid level be low

during a cold check, you must perform a hot check

before adding fluid. This will give you a more accurate

reading of the fluid level.
