Milan FWD V6-3.0L (2010)
1. With the transaxle in PARK, the engine at idle, foot pressed on the brake, move the selector lever through each gear and allow engagement of each
gear. Place the selector lever in the PARK position.
2. Wipe the transmission fluid level indicator cap and remove the transmission fluid level indicator.
3. Wipe the transmission fluid level indicator with a clean cloth.
4. Install the transmission fluid level indicator back in the transmission fluid filler tube until it is fully seated, then remove the indicator. The
transmission fluid level should be within the crosshatch.
High Transmission Fluid Level
A transmission fluid level that is too high may cause the transmission fluid to become aerated due to the churning action of the rotating internal parts.
This will cause erratic control pressure, foaming, loss of transmission fluid from the vent tube and possible transaxle malfunction and/or damage. If an
overfill reading is indicated, refer to Automatic Transmission/Transaxle &/or Transmission Control Systems.
Low Transmission Fluid Level
A low transmission fluid level could result in poor transaxle engagement, slipping, malfunction and/or damage. This could also indicate a leak in one of
the transaxle seals or gaskets.
Adding Transmission Fluid
NOTICE: Automatic transmission fluids are not interchangeable. The use of any fluid other than what is recommended for this transaxle will
cause transaxle damage.
If transmission fluid needs to be added, add transmission fluid in 0.25L (1/2 pt) increments through the transmission fluid level indicator tube with the
selector lever in PARK and the engine idling. Do not overfill the transmission fluid. For transmission fluid type, refer to the material chart.
Flat Tow Fluid Level
Recreational flat towing of the vehicle may require the transmission fluid to be set to a lower fluid level. This will prevent damage to the transmission.
The transmission fluid level is within the normal operating range and will not require the transmission fluid level to be readjusted after recreational
towing.
