Checking Fluid Level

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Infiniti G20 and 1993 Infiniti G20. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Park vehicle on level ground. Set parking brake. Start engine. Move gear selector through each gear range, ending in "P". Check fluid with engine idling. Add fluid if low. DO NOT  overfill.
  2. Check for fluid contamination. If fluid is very dark, smells burned, or contains frictional material (clutches, brake bands, etc.), change fluid and check transmission operation.
NOTE: Check fluid at HOT range on dipstick when fluid is 122-176°F (50-80°C). Use COLD range when fluid is 86-122°F (30-50°C) and recheck fluid level when hot.
