How to Add Automatic Transaxle Fluid

Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine
what kind of transaxle fluid to use. See
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 485.

If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the
proper fluid to bring the level into the
cross-hatched area 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 does not take much fluid, generally less
than one pint (0.5 L). Do not overfill.

Notice: Use of the incorrect automatic
transaxle fluid may damage your vehicle, and
the damages may not be covered by your
warranty. Always use the automatic transaxle
fluid listed in Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants
on page 485.

3. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as

described under “How to Check Automatic
Transaxle Fluid,” earlier in this section.

4. When the correct fluid level is obtained, push

the dipstick back in all the way.
