checked at normal operating temperature 150°F-170°F (66°C-77°C) on a
level surface. For vehicles equipped with 6-speed transmissions, the fluid
should be checked at normal operating temperature 180°F-200°F
(82°C-93°C) on a level surface. The normal operating temperature can
be reached after approximately 20 miles (30 km) of driving.

For vehicles equipped with 5-speed transmissions, the transmission fluid
should be in this range if at normal operating temperature (150°F-170°F

transmission fluid should be in this range if at normal operating
temperature (180°F-200°F [82°C-93°C]).
