Inspection of automatic transmission oil level
When transmission oil temperature is 70-80
℃
, check
the oil level. If your automobile has run for 15
minutes at 60km/hr or 30 minutes at 40km/hr, oil
temperature may change to approximately 70 - 80
℃
.
1. Park your automobile on a horizontal surface,
and pull up the parking brake handle.
2. Allow the engine to idle, and depress the brake
pedal securely in the meantime. Smoothly move
the gear change hand lever from gear P to gear
L, and then move it back to gear P.
3. Pull out and wipe up the oil dipstick, and insert it.
4. Pull out the oil dipstick to check whether or
not the oil level falls within the “hot” range.
5. If the oil level is too low, add specified liquid
oil through filler pipe slowly. Never add oil
excessively.
For recommended automatic transmission oils,
see Section 15.
6. Insert the oil dipstick till the bottom.
7. Wipe up the spilled liquid oil.
Warning

If liquid oil gets dirty, replace liquid oil at the
local special service store.

If the oil level too low or fuel volume is
reduced considerably, contact the local special
service store for inspection of the system.
Danger

Both the liquid oil and its peripheral zone are
quite hot; therefore, be careful not to scald
yourself.

Never touch or come close to the moving parts
and components while the engine is running,
so as to avoid severe personal injuries.
Attention

The oil levels measured when liquid oil is
cool (20
℃ –30 ℃
) may be used as reference
values only.
Check again whether or not the oil level is
correct at normal working temperature
(70
℃ ―80 ℃
).

If the oil levels indicated on the front side
and back side of the oil dipstick are different,
the lower among them shall prevail.
