The automatic transaxle
fluid dipstick handle is the
black loop located
toward the rear of the
engine. See Engine
Compartment Overview on
page 5-12 for more
information on location.
1. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag or
paper towel.
2. Push it back in all the way, wait three seconds and
then pull it back out again.
3. Check both sides of the dipstick, and read the
lower level. The fluid level must be in the
crosshatched area.
4. If the fluid level is in the acceptable range, push the
dipstick back in all the way.
How to Add Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of transaxle fluid to use. See Scheduled
Maintenance on page 6-4.
If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper
fluid to bring the level into the crosshatched area on
the dipstick.
1. Pull out the dipstick.
2. Using a long-neck funnel, add enough fluid at the
dipstick hole to bring it to the proper level.
It does not take much fluid, generally less than
one pint (0.5 L). Don’t overfill.
Notice: Use of automatic transaxle fluid labeled
other than DEXRON
®
-III may damage your vehicle,
and the damages may not be covered by your
warranty. Always use DEXRON
®
-III labeled automatic
transaxle fluid.
3. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described under “How to Check,” earlier in
this section.
4. When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the
dipstick back in all the way.
