Checking Transmission Fluid Level
IMPORTANT: Use only specified transmission fluid. Refer to “Specifications.”
Check transmission fluid before running engine each day, as follows:
1.
Remove dipstick. Check fluid level as indicated on dipstick. Fluid level may be some-
what over full mark, as some of the fluid from transmission fluid cooler and hoses may
have drained back into transmission. If low, add specified transmission fluid to bring level
up to full mark on dipstick.
