Fluid - A/T: Testing and Inspection

NOTE: Check the fluid level with the engine at normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).

1. Park the car on level ground. Shut off the engine.
2. Remove the dipstick (yellow loop) from the transmission and wipe it with a clean cloth.





3. Insert the dipstick into the transmission.





4. Remove the dipstick and check the fluid level. It should be between the upper and lower marks.
5. If the level is below the lower mark, add fluid into the tube to bring it to the upper mark.
6. Insert the dipstick back in the transmission.
