NOTE: If the vehicle has been operated for an
extended period at high speeds or in city traffic
during hot weather, or pulling a trailer, the vehicle
should be turned off for about 30 minutes to allow
the fluid to cool before checking.
Checking the Automatic Transmission
Fluid
With the vehicle on a level surface and the brake
fully applied, start the engine and move the gear
shift selector through all of the gears allowing
sufficient time for each position to engage. Securely
latch the gear shift selector in the P (Park) position.
Fully set the parking brake and leave the engine
running.
NOTE: Your vehicle should not be driven if the
fluid level does not appear on the dipstick tip and
outside temperatures are above 50˚F (10˚C).
Wipe off the dipstick cap and pull the dipstick out.
Wipe the indicator end clean. Put the dipstick back
into the filler tube and make sure it is fully seated.
Pull the dipstick out and read the fluid level.
When checking fluid at normal operating
temperatures 150˚F-170˚F (66˚C-77˚C), the fluid
level should be within the “HOT” notched area on
the dipstick. When the vehicle has not been driven,
and outside temperatures are above 68˚F (20˚C),
the fluid levels should be between the “HOT”
notch and the tip end of the dipstick.
Adding Automatic Transmission Fluid
Before adding any fluid, be sure that the correct
type will be used. Use only Mercon
H
Fluid, as
shown on handle.
Add fluid in 1/2 pint (250ML) increments through
the filler tube to bring the level to the correct area
on the dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL. If the level is
above the top hole on the dipstick, excess fluid
should be removed by a qualified technician.
