CAUTION!

Using a transmission fluid other than the manufac-

turer’s recommended fluid may cause deterioration
in transmission shift quality and/or torque con-
verter shudder. Using a transmission fluid other
than that recommended by the manufacturer, and
will require more frequent fluid and filter changes.
Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in
“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further fluid speci-
fication.

If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit your au-

thorized dealer immediately. Severe transmission
damage may occur. Your authorized dealer has the
proper tools to adjust the fluid level accurately.

Fluid Level Check – Four-Speed Transmission

Use the following procedure to check the transmission
fluid level properly:

1. Park the vehicle on level ground.

2. Run the engine at normal idle speed for at least 60

seconds, and leave the engine running for the rest of
this procedure.

3. Fully apply the parking brake, and press the brake

pedal.

4. Place the shift lever momentarily into each gear posi-

tion (allowing time for the transmission to fully en-
gage in each position), ending with the shift lever in
PARK.

5. Wipe the area around the dipstick clean to prevent dirt

from entering the transmission.
