How to Add Fluid

Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of transaxle fluid to use. See “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.

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 doesn’t take much fluid, generally less than one
pint (0.5 L). Don’t overfill.

NOTICE:

We recommend you use only fluid labeled
DEXRON

R

-

III, because fluid with that label is

made especially for your automatic transaxle.
Damage caused by fluid other than
DEXRON

R

-

III is not covered by your new

vehicle warranty.

3. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as

described under “How to Check.”

4. When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the

dipstick back in all the way.

Radiator Pressure Cap

NOTICE:

Your radiator cap is a 15 psi (105 kPa)
pressure

-

type cap and must be tightly installed to

prevent coolant loss and possible engine damage
from overheating. Be sure the arrows on the cap
line up with the overflow tube on the radiator
filler neck.

When you replace your radiator pressure cap, a GM cap
is recommended.
