Checking Fluid Level
CAUTION:
DO NOT
overfill. One pint of fluid will raise level from "ADD 1 PT." to "FULL HOT" mark on dipstick with a hot transmission.
- With engine at curb idle, move selector lever through all ranges, ending in "PARK".
- Remove dipstick and wipe dipstick clean, reinstall, then remove again and inspect level.
- Fluid level should check close to the "ADD 1 PT." mark (either above or below) on dipstick.
CAUTION:
If vehicle has been operated for an extended period of time at high speed, in city traffic in hot weather, or if vehicle has been pulling a trailer, an accurate fluid level cannot be determined until fluid has cooled down (approximately 30 minutes after vehicle has been parked).
