Consistency of Readings

Always check the fluid level at least twice using
the procedure described previously. Consistency
(repeatable readings) is important to maintaining
proper fluid level. If inconsistent readings
persist, contact your dealer.

How to Add Automatic Transmission
Fluid

Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine
what kind of transmission fluid to use. See

Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 489

.

Add fluid only after checking the transmission fluid
while it is hot. A cold check is used only as a
reference. If the fluid level is low, add only enough
of the proper fluid to bring the level up to the
HOT area for a hot check. 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 your vehicle,
and the damages may not be covered by
your warranty. Always use the automatic
transmission fluid listed in

Recommended

Fluids and Lubricants on page 489

.

After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described under “How to Check Automatic
Transmission Fluid,” earlier in this section.

When the correct fluid level is obtained, push
the dipstick back in all the way; then flip the
handle down to lock the dipstick in place.
