Selection of Lubricant
It is important that the proper lubricant is used in the
transmission to assure optimum transmission perfor-

sion fluid; for correct fluid type, refer to “Automatic
Transmission” under “Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine
Parts” in this section. It is important that the transmission

shudder. Using a transmission fluid, other than the
manufacturer’s recommended fluid, will result in
more frequent fluid and filter changes.

product and its performance may be impaired by supple-
