High fluid level

If the fluid level is above the MAX
range of the dipstick, remove fluid to
reach the hashmark level. Note:
Fluid level above the MAX level may

cause shift and/or engagement concerns and/or possible damage.

High fluid levels can be caused by an overheating condition. If your
vehicle has been operated for an extended period at high speeds, in city
traffic during hot weather or pulling a trailer, the vehicle should be
turned off until normal operating temperatures are reached. Depending
on vehicle use, cooling times could take up to 30 minutes or longer.

Adjusting automatic transmission fluid levels

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

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
Capacities and Specifications chapter.

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

If an overfill occurs, excess fluid
should be removed by an authorized
dealer.

Note: 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.
