Sable V6-183 3.0L DOHC VIN S MFI (1997)
Fluid Filter - A/T: Description and Operation
^
Fluid in the sump area formed by the oil pan flows through a filter to the pump assembly. A magnet attached to the transaxle pan collects unwanted
magnetic material.
^
A thermostatic fluid control valve prevents foaming of fluid by maintaining a sump level below the rotating components.
^
The thermostatic fluid control valve stores fluid in the area of the main control when the fluid expands due to temperature. When the fluid is cold,
the valve allows more fluid from the main control area to return to the sump.
^
The fluid level check is correctly performed when fluid temperature is hot.
