12. Apply a maximum of 206.85 kPa (30 psi) to the open end of the vacuum/pressure hose from the special tool. Fluid will immediately start flowing
out of the special tool into the transmission fluid pan.
13. Add one pint of transmission fluid into the fluid pan. Stop the process by releasing the air pressure and removing the air nozzle from the end of the
hose.
14. Inspect the fluid level in the special tool. If the fluid drains back into the canister, the transmission is full. If no fluid drains back, more fluid will
need to be added. Repeat Steps 12 and 13.
15. Once the transmission is full, place a hand vacuum pump on the open end of the hose of the special tool and apply vacuum to the system. This will
pull out any extra fluid trapped in the system and direct it into the container.
16. Allow the fluid to drain. Make sure that the fluid temperature is between 27 - 49°C (80 - 120°F). When the fluid comes out as a thin stream or
drip, the fluid is at the correct level.
17. Reinstall the small (center) fluid level indicating plug using a 3/16-inch Allen key.
