Commander 4WD V8-4.7L VIN N (2006)
The torque converter fills in both the P (PARK) and N (NEUTRAL) positions. Place the selector lever in P (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 will be approximately at the upper COLD hole of the dipstick at 70°F fluid temperature.
NOTE: Engine and Transmission should be at normal operating temperature before performing this procedure.
1. Start engine and apply parking brake.
2. Shift the transmission into DRIVE for approximately 2 seconds.
3. Shift the transmission into REVERSE for approximately 2 seconds.
4. Shift the transmission into PARK.
5. Hook up the scan tool and select transmission.
6. Select sensors.
7. Read the transmission temperature value.
8. Compare the fluid temperature value with the chart.
9. Adjust transmission fluid level shown on the dipstick according to the Transmission Fluid Temperature Chart.
NOTE: After adding any fluid to the transmission, wait a minimum of 2 minutes for the oil to fully drain from the fill tube into the transmission
before rechecking the fluid level.
10. Check transmission for leaks.
