How to Add Fluid

Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of transaxle fluid to use. See “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.

If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper
fluid to bring the level into the area between dimples on
the dipstick.

1. Pull out the dipstick.

2. Using a long

-

neck funnel, add enough fluid at the

dipstick hole to bring it to the proper level.

It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less than
one pint (0.5 L). Don’t overfill.

NOTICE:

We recommend you use only fluid labeled AC
Delco T

-

IV, because fluid with that label is made

especially for your automatic transaxle. Damage
caused by fluid other than AC Delco T

-

IV is not

covered by your new vehicle warranty.

3. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as

described under “How to Check.”

4. When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the

dipstick back in all the way; then press the tab down
to lock the dipstick in place.
