Buick Lucerne Owner Manual - 2011

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.

Checking the Fluid Level

Prepare the vehicle as follows:

1. Park the vehicle on a level place. Keep the engine

running.

2. With the parking brake applied, place the shift

lever in P (Park).

3. With your foot on the brake pedal, move the shift

lever through each gear range, pausing for about
three seconds in each range. Then, position the
shift lever in P (Park).

4. Let the engine run at idle for three to five minutes.

Then, without shutting off the engine, follow these
steps:

1. For the 3.9L V6 engine,

locate the transmission
fluid dipstick top which
is a round loop with
this symbol.

See

Engine Compartment Overview on page 6

for more information on location.

2. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag or

paper towel.

3. Push it back in all the way, wait three seconds, and

then pull it back out again.
