Checking Fluid Level

  1. Park vehicle on level surface and apply parking brake. Place selector lever in the "P" position, start engine and allow engine to operate for 15 minutes, or until normal operating temperature is reached. Apply brakes, shift through all gears and return selector lever to the "P" position.
  2. Remove dipstick and carefully touch dipstick end to determine temperature of fluid. If fluid is cool or warm, fluid level should be in COLD range. If fluid is too hot to touch, fluid level should be in HOT range. Add fluid if necessary. DO NOT  overfill.
