Transmission oil level
-
Ensure that the transmission is at normal operating temperature, e.g. by conducting a 20 mile road test. If starting from cold: check for
presence of oil on dipstick at idle in 'P' Park to the 'Cold' fill mark before setting off.
-
Check that the vehicle is on level ground.
-
Firmly apply the parking and foot brakes and run the engine at idle speed.
-
To ensure that the system is primed, slowly move the selector lever through all the gear positions.
-
With the engine still running, engage 'P' Park, withdraw the dipstick and wipe with a lint free cloth.
-
Replace the dipstick slowly and withdraw it noting the level.
-
Top up as required and recheck the level.
Note: The oil level can only be accurately checked when at normal temperature - approximately 20 miles at moderate speeds.
