NOTE: The vehicle should not be driven if the transmission fluid level is low or internal failure could result.
NOTE: The use of any other transmission fluid than specified can result in the transmission failing to operate in a normal manner or transmission failure.
NOTE: Check the transmission fluid level if the transmission starts to slip, shifts slowly or shows signs of transmission fluid leaking.
NOTE: Here is an overview of the Transmission Fluid Refill procedure.
Adding 3.3L (3.5 qt) of transmission fluid is an initial fill enabling the engine to be started.
Filling the transmission to the transmission fluid level indicator area below the crosshatch mark allows the vehicle to be driven.
The vehicle should be driven to allow the transmission fluid temperature to reach 96.7 °C - 102 °C (206 °F - 215 °F) in order to purge the air from the transmission fluid cooling system.
Fill the transmission fluid to the fill range on the transmission fluid level indicator at the normal operating range 96.7 °C - 102 °C (206 °F - 215 °F).
1. Remove the transmission fluid fill plug and remove the transmission fluid level indicator from the plug.
