TRANSMISSION FLUID

Checking automatic transmission fluid

The 5R55S transmission does not have a transmission fluid dipstick.

Refer to your Scheduled Maintenance Guide for scheduled intervals for
fluid checks and changes. Your transmission does not consume fluid.
However, the fluid level should be checked if the transmission is not
working properly, i.e., if the transmission slips or shifts slowly or if you
notice some sign of fluid leakage.

Transmission fluid should be checked and, if required, fluid
should be added by a qualified technician.

Before adding any fluid, make sure the correct type is used. Use only
MERCON

௡ V automatic transmission fluid. The type of fluid used is

indicated on the transmission fluid pan, extension housing and also in
the Lubricant specifications section in this chapter.

Use of a non-approved automatic transmission fluid may cause
internal transmission component damage and void the warranty.

Do not use supplemental transmission fluid additives, treatments or
cleaning agents. The use of these materials may affect transmission
operation and result in damage to internal transmission components.
