Automatic Transmission Fluid
It is not necessary to check the transmission fluid level.
A transmission fluid leak is the only reason for fluid
loss. If a leak occurs, take your vehicle to the dealership
service department and have it repaired as soon as
possible.
Change both the fluid and filter every 50,000 miles
(83 000 km) if the vehicle is mainly driven under one or
more of these conditions:
•
In heavy city traffic where the outside temperature
regularly reaches 90°F (32°C) or higher.
•
In hilly or mountainous terrain.
•
When doing frequent trailer towing.
•
Uses such as found in taxi, police or
delivery service.
If you do not use your vehicle under any of these
conditions, the fluid and filter do not require changing.
Notice: Use of automatic transmission fluid labeled
other than DEXRON
®
-III, Approved for the
H-Specification, may damage your vehicle, and the
damages may not be covered by your warranty.
Always use automatic transmission fluid labeled
DEXRON
®
-III, Approved for the H-Specification.
Engine Coolant
The cooling system in the vehicle is filled with
DEX-COOL
®
engine coolant. This coolant is designed
to remain in the vehicle for five years or 150,000 miles
(240 000 km), whichever occurs first, if only
DEX-COOL
®
extended life coolant is added.
The following explains the cooling system and how to
add coolant when it is low. If there is a problem
with engine overheating or if coolant needs to be added
to the radiator, see Engine Overheating on page 5-24.
A 50/50 mixture of clean, drinkable water and
DEX-COOL
®
engine coolant will:
•
Give freezing protection down to
−
34°F (
−
37°C).
•
Give boiling protection up to 265°F (129°C).
•
Protect against rust and corrosion.
•
Help keep the proper engine temperature.
•
Let the warning lights and gages work as
they should.
Notice: Using coolant other than DEX-COOL
®
may
cause premature engine, heater core or radiator
corrosion. In addition, the engine coolant may
require changing sooner, at 30,000 miles (50 000 km)
or 24 months, whichever occurs first. Any repairs
would not be covered by your warranty. Always use
DEX-COOL
®
(silicate-free) coolant in your vehicle.
