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 32°C (90°F).

• 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 82°C to 93°C

(180°F to 200°F).

Get the vehicle warmed up by driving about 24 km

(15 miles) when outside temperatures are above 10°C

(50°F). If it is colder than 10°C (50°F), drive the vehicle in

D (DRIVE) until the engine temperature gage moves and

then remains steady for 10 minutes.

A cold ﬂuid check can be made after the vehicle has been

sitting for eight hours or more with the engine off, but this

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

idle the engine longer. Should the ﬂuid level be low during

this cold check, you must check the ﬂuid hot before

adding ﬂuid. Checking the ﬂuid hot will give you a more

accurate reading of the ﬂuid level.
