How to Add Fluid

Here’s how to add fluid. Refer to the Maintenance
Schedule to determine what kind of fluid to use. See
“Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.

1. Remove the dipstick by flipping the handle up and

then pulling the dipstick out.

2. Add fluid at the dipstick hole.

Add only enough fluid to bring the fluid level up to
the FULL mark on the dipstick.

3. Push the dipstick back in all the way; then flip the

handle down to lock the dipstick in place.

Hydraulic Clutch

The hydraulic clutch linkage in your vehicle is
self

-

adjusting. The clutch master cylinder reservoir is

filled with hydraulic clutch fluid.

It isn’t a good idea to “top off” your clutch fluid. Adding
fluid won’t correct a leak.

A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem.
Have the system inspected and repaired.

When to Check and What to Use

Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how
often you should check the fluid level in your clutch
master cylinder reservoir and for the proper fluid. See
“Owner Checks and Services” and “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
