1 - FLUID LEVEL INDICATOR
NOTE: Only transmission fluid of the type labeled Mopar ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid) should be used in this transaxle.
The transmission sump has a fluid level indicator (dipstick) to check oil similar to most automatic transmissions. It is located on the left side of the
engine. Be sure to wipe all dirt from dipstick handle before removing.
The torque converter fills in both the P Park and N Neutral positions. Place the selector lever in P Park to be sure that the fluid level check is accurate.
The engine should be running at idle speed for at least one minute, with the vehicle on level ground. At normal operating temperature 82° C (180°
F), the fluid level is correct if it is in the HOT region on the oil level indicator (1) (Figure 1). The fluid level should be within the COLD region of the
dipstick at 27° C (80° F) fluid temperature.
