Checking Fluid Level: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 44 other vehicles, including the 1997 Pontiac Trans Sport, 1997 Oldsmobile Silhouette, 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada, 1997 GMC Sonoma, and 1997 GMC Safari. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Transmission/transaxle must be at normal operating temperature (180-200°F) when checking fluid level. One pint of fluid will raise level from ADD 1 PT. or .5L to FULL mark on dipstick with transmission/transaxle at normal temperature. DO NOT overfill.
