• Remove oil filter 12 (for oil cooler) by turning it counterclockwise.
• Lightly coat gasket C with the fluid before installing oil filter 12. Then
tighten the oil filter.
• Check and adjust so that the fluid level is within the specified area on
dipstick 1.
NOTE
• As the temperature of the fluid rises, so does the fluid level. If
you add fluid while the temperature is still low (approximately 15
to 49
°
C {60 to 120
°
F}), make sure that the level stays within area
A, marked COLD on dipstick 1.
• Let the engine idle and, while paying attention to the fluid level,
pour in the fluid slowly.
• It is sometimes hard to check the fluid level, immediately after
supplying fluid, because of the fluid adhering to the interior of
dipstick guide 2. If this is the case, check the fluid level several
times at intervals.
• Be careful not to supply too much fluid because you might
mistake the fluid that overflows from the air breather for fluid
leakage.

• Supply fluid through dipstick guide 2.
CAUTION
–
Make sure that dirt and foreign particles do not become mixed in
with the fluid when it is added.
• Shift the range selector lever to the N position, start the engine and let
it idle for about one minute.
• After shifting the lever through all positions once, shift it back to N
position.
CAUTION
–
To prevent burning out the interior of the automatic transmission
assembly, make sure that the engine is not allowed to race when
you do the above.
