How to Check Automatic Transmission

Fluid

Because this operation can be a little difficult, you

may choose to have this done at the dealership

service department.

If you do it yourself, be sure to follow all the

instructions here, or you could get a false reading

on the dipstick.

Notice: Too much or too little ﬂuid can

damage your transmission. Too much can

mean that some of the ﬂuid could come out

and fall on hot engine parts or exhaust system

parts, starting a ﬁre. Too little ﬂuid could

cause the transmission to overheat. Be sure to

get an accurate reading if you check your

transmission ﬂuid.

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),

drive the vehicle in THIRD (3) until the engine

temperature gage moves and then remains steady

for 10 minutes.

A cold ﬂuid check can be made after the vehicle has

been sitting for eight hours or more with the engine

off, but this is used only as a reference. Let the

engine run at idle for ﬁve minutes if outside

temperatures are 50°F (10°C) or more. If it is colder

than 50°F (10°C), you may have to idle the engine

longer. Should the ﬂuid level be low during this cold

check, you must check the ﬂuid hot before adding

ﬂuid. Checking the ﬂuid hot will give you a more

accurate reading of the ﬂuid level.

Checking the Fluid Level

Prepare your vehicle as follows:

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

engine running.

2. With the parking brake applied, place the shift

lever in PARK (P).
