Acadia FWD V6-3.6L (2007)
Do not add more than one pint (0.5L) at a time without rechecking the level. Once the oil is on the dipstick bullet, it will not take much more fluid
to raise the fluid level into the crosshatch band. Do not overfill. Also, if the fluid level is low, inspect the transmission for leaks. Refer to Fluid
Leak Diagnosis See: Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/Fluid Leak Diagnosis.
13. If the fluid level is in the acceptable range, install the dipstick.
14. If the fluid was changed, reset the transmission oil life monitor if applicable.
Fluid Condition Inspection

Inspect the fluid color. The fluid should be red in color. The fluid may also turn brown form normal use, and does not always indicate
contamination.
Important: Fluid that is very dark or black and has a burnt odor usually indicates contamination or overheating.
*
If the fluid color is very dark or black and has a burnt odor, inspect the fluid for excessive metal particles or other debris which may indicate
transmission damage. Refer to Road Test See: Transmission and Drivetrain/Automatic Transmission/Transaxle/Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/Road Test to verify transmission operation. Change the transmission fluid if no other conditions are found.
*
Fluid that is cloudy or milky or appears to be contaminated with water indicates engine coolant or water contamination. Refer to Engine
Coolant/Water in Transmission.
