.

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 transmission

fluid may damage the vehicle, and the damages may
not be covered by the vehicle's warranty. Always
use the automatic transmission fluid listed in

Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 7

dipstick back in all the way.

How to Check Automatic Transmission
Fluid (4.6L Engine)

For the 4.6L V8 engine, it is not necessary to check the
transmission fluid level. A transmission fluid leak is the
only reason for fluid loss. If a leak occurs, take the
vehicle to your dealer service department and have it
repaired as soon as possible.
