TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL CHECK AND FILL
000151
C AU T I O N
Check correct side of gauge. Over- or under-filled transmission may cause transmission
to overheat, not perform properly, or damage system components.
N OT E
Transmission oil level gauge has oil level markings on both sides. One side is for checking
when fluid is cold with engine stopped, the other side is for checking when fluid is hot with
engine at idle and transmission in NEUTRAL.
Checking fluid when hot is preferred and more accurate. Checking fluid when cold should
be used for reference only.

2. Clean area around transmission oil level gauge (Figure 3, Item 1) and oil filler cap (Figure 3, Item 2).
