Swift GA L4-1298cc 1.3L SOHC MFI (2001)
NOTE:
^
Do not overfill. Overfilling can cause foaming and loss of fluid through vent. Then slippage and transmission failure can result.
^
Bringing fluid level from LOW HOT to FULL HOT requires 0.35 liters (0.74/0.62 US/Imp. pt).
^
Lesser volume than following table may fill up transmission, in case that oil pan only is removed leaving valve body as it is and reinstalled
soon.
COLD Level Check at Room Temperature of About 25°C (77°F)
If transmission was overhauled or fluid was drained for oil pan (and or valve body) service, refill fluid after assembling and check its level according
to following procedure.
1. Place vehicle on level surface.
2. Apply parking brake and block vehicle wheels.
3. With selector lever in "P" range, start engine and run it at idle for 5 minutes. DO NOT RACE ENGINE.
4. Move selector lever through each range and put it in "P" range again.
5. With engine running at idle, check fluid level on oil level gauge. Fluid level should be between FULL COLD and LOW COLD marks on oil level
gauge.
6. If level is below LOW COLD mark, add fluid to bring level between LOW COLD and FULL COLD marks. Use DEXRON III or equivalent
automatic transmission fluid.
DO NOT OVERFILL.
The above COLD level check is strictly temporary. Therefore, as a final check perform HOT level check at normal operating temperature as
described previously.
