The transmission fluid
should be in this range
if at ambient
temperature (10°C-35°C [50°F-95°F]).

High fluid level

Fluid levels above the
safe range may result
in transmission failure.
An overfill condition of transmission fluid may cause
shift and/or engagement concerns and/or possible
damage.

High fluid levels can be caused by an overheating
condition.

Adjusting automatic transmission fluid levels

Before adding any fluid, make sure the correct type
is used. The type of fluid used is normally indicated
on the dipstick and also in the Lubricant
specifications
section in this chapter.

Use of a non-approved automatic transmission
fluid may cause internal transmission
component damage.

If necessary, add fluid in 250 ml (1/2 pint)
increments through the filler tube until the level is
correct.

If an overfill occurs,
excess fluid should be
removed by a qualified
technician.

An overfill condition of transmission fluid may
cause shift and/or engagement concerns and/or
possible damage.

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.
