Fluid Level Check
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
The transmission sump has a 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 PARK and NEUTRAL positions. Place the selector lever in 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
(approximately 82°C or 180°F), the fluid level is correct if it is in the HOT region (cross-hatched area) on the oil level indicator. The fluid level
should be in COLD region at 21°C (70°F) fluid temperature. Adjust fluid level as necessary. Use only Mitsubishi ATF +4, Automatic Transmission
Fluid.

NOTE: Engine and Transmission should be at normal operating temperature before performing this procedure.
1. Start engine and apply parking brake.
2. Connect scan tool and select transmission.
3. Select sensors.
4. Read the transmission temperature value.
5. Compare the fluid temperature value with the chart.
6. Adjust transmission fluid level shown on the dipstick according to the 42RLE Fluid Temperature Chart. Use only Mitsubishi ATF +4, Automatic
Transmission Fluid.

Fluid/Filter Service
FLUID/FILTER SERVICE
NOTE: Only fluids of the type labeled ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid, should be used in the transmission sump. A filter change should be
made at the time of the transmission oil change. The magnet (on the inside of the oil pan) should also be cleaned with a clean, dry cloth.
NOTE: If the transmission is disassembled for any reason, the fluid and filter should be changed.
