Fluid - A/T: Service and Repair
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
HOT Level Check at Normal Operating Temperature
Be sure to check fluid level at every engine oil change. As automatic transmission is designed to operate at normal operating temperature which
corresponds to 70° C - 80° C (158° F - 176° F) of fluid, perform fluid level check when fluid temperature is within the above temperature range.
Driving at 60 km/h (37 mile/h) in "D" range for about 15 minutes will raise fluid temperature to normal operating temperature.
1. Place vehicle on level surface.
2. Apply parking brake and block vehicle wheels.
3. With selector lever in "P" range, start engine. But DO NOT RACE ENGINE.
4. Run engine at idle speed and move selector lever through each range and put it in "P" range again.
5. With engine running at idle, remove oil level gauge from oil filler tube and wipe off oil level gauge with clean cloth.
6. Reinsert oil level gauge all the way into oil filler tube.
7. Take up the gauge and check oil level on it. The level should be between FULL HOT and LOW HOT marks. If level is below LOW HOT mark,
add fluid to bring level to FULL HOT mark.
