Check the fluid level only when your engine is off,
the vehicle is parked on a level place, and the
transmission is cool enough for you to rest
your fingers on the transmission case.
Then, follow these steps:
1. Remove the filler plug.
2. Check that the lubricant level is up to the
bottom of the filler plug hole.
3. If the fluid level is good, install the plug and
be sure it is fully seated. If the fluid level is
low, add more fluid as described in the
next steps.
