SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

 

Fluid Level Check

The fluid level is preset at the factory and does 

not require adjustment under normal operating 

conditions. Routine fluid level checks are not 

required; therefore the transmission has no 

dipstick. An authorized dealer can check your 

transmission fluid level using special service 

tools. If you notice fluid leakage or transmission 

malfunction, visit an authorized dealer 

immediately to have the transmission fluid level 

checked. Operating the vehicle with an 

improper fluid level can cause severe 

transmission damage.

Fluid And Filter Changes 

Under normal operating conditions, the fluid 

installed at the factory will provide satisfactory 

lubrication for the life of the vehicle.
Routine fluid and filter changes are not 

required. However, change the fluid and filter 

if the fluid becomes contaminated (with water, 

etc.), or if the transmission is disassembled for 

any reason.

Selection Of Lubricant 

It is important to use the proper transmission 

fluid to ensure optimum transmission 

performance and life. Use only manufacturer's 

specified transmission fluid  

Ú

page 492. It is 

important to maintain the transmission fluid at 

the correct level using the recommended fluid.

NOTE:

No chemical flushes should be used in any 

transmission; only the approved lubricant 

should be used.

CAUTION!

If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit an 

authorized dealer immediately. Severe 

transmission damage may occur. An 

authorized dealer has the proper tools to 

adjust the fluid level accurately.

CAUTION!

Using a transmission fluid other than 

manufacturer’s recommended fluid may 

cause deterioration in transmission shift 

quality and/or torque converter shudder
