Normal Temperature
NOTE:
Do not race engine while checking fluid level, even after the engine start. Do not overfill. Overfill of fluid can cause foaming and loss of fluid through breather. Slippage and transaxle failure can result. Bringing the level from LOW HOT to FULL HOT requires .74 pts. (.35L). If vehicle was driven under high load such as pulling a trailer, fluid level should be checked about half an hour after it is stopped.
- Stop the vehicle and place it on level surface.
- Apply parking brake and place chocks against wheels.
- With selector at Park position, start engine.
- Run engine at idle speed and move selector lever through each range and put it in "P" range again.
- With engine running idle, remove oil level gauge from oil filler tube and wipe off oil level gauge with a clean cloth. See Fig 1 .
- Reinsert oil level gauge all the way into oil filler tube.
- Pull out oil level gauge again and check fluid level indicated on it. Fluid level should be between FULL HOT and LOW HOT. If it is below LOW HOT, add recommended fluid up to FULL HOT. See RECOMMENDED FLUID . See Fig 2 .
CAUTION:
Do not race engine.
