Allison Automatic Transmission Oil Level
Transmission fluid level may be checked using
dipstick or transmission control pad display. For
more information on how to use the shift selector
display to check the transmission oil level, refer
to Appendix C under “Allison transmission oil
level check using the pus
hbutton shift selector”
in this manual.
The transmission fluid level dipstick is accessible
through the engine compartment rear door and
is located on the left side of the engine.
To check the transmission fluid level, a "cold
check" and a "hot check" must be performed. A
cold check must be made when the
transmission
fluid is between 60
o
F and 1 2 0
o
F (16
o
C and
5 0
o
C).
NOTE
Perform the cold check first to verify the
transmission fluid level before performing the
hot check.
To prevent dirt and foreign matter from entering
the transmission, clean the end of the oil fill tube
before removing dipstick. To remove dipstick,
unscrew filler cap approximately three turns and
pull out dipstick
.


Cold Check
Run the engine until the transmission fluid
temperature is between 60
o
F and 1 2 0
o
F (16
o
C
and 5 0
o
C). With the engine idling, make sure
the parking brake is applied and the
transmission is in neutral (N). Remove and wipe
the dipstick with a clean cloth. Check oil level. If
the oil level is within the COLD RUN band, the oil
level is correct and a hot check can be
performed. If the oil level is on or below the lower
line of the COLD RUN band, add oil until the
level lies within the COLD RUN band. If the oil
level is above the COLD RUN band, drain oil
until the level is within the band
.
