Checking the Fluid Level

Prepare your vehicle as follows:

1. Park your vehicle on a level place. Keep the

engine running.

2. With the parking brake applied, place the shift

lever in PARK (P).

3. With your foot on the brake pedal, move the

shift lever through each gear range, pausing
for about three seconds in each range.
Then, position the shift lever in PARK (P).

4. Let the engine run at idle for three minutes

or more.

Then, without shutting off the engine, follow these
steps:

The transmission
dipstick handle with this
graphic is located at
the rear of the engine
compartment, on
the passenger’s side of
the vehicle.

See Engine Compartment Overview on page 458
for more information on location.

1. Flip the handle up and then 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
COLD area, below the cross-hatched area, for
a cold check or in the HOT or cross-hatched
area for a hot check. Be sure to keep the
dipstick pointed down to get an accurate
reading.
