Change the fluid and filter at the
intervals listed in Maintenance
Schedule 0337, and be sure to use
the fluid listed in Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants 0346.
Manual Transmission
Fluid
It is not necessary to check the
manual transmission fluid level.
A transmission fluid leak is the only
reason for fluid loss. If a leak
occurs, take the vehicle to your
dealer and have it repaired as soon
as possible. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants 0346 for the
proper fluid to use.
Hydraulic Clutch
For vehicles with a manual
transmission, it is not necessary to
regularly check brake/clutch fluid unless there is a leak suspected.
Adding fluid will not correct a leak.
A fluid loss in this system could
indicate a problem. Have the
system inspected and repaired.
When to Check and What
to Use
The brake/hydraulic clutch fluid
reservoir cap has this symbol on it.
See
Engine Compartment Overview
0 256 for reservoir location. The
common hydraulic clutch and brake
master cylinder fluid reservoir is
filled with brake fluid as indicated on
the reservoir cap. See Brake Fluid
0 275 for brake fluid to use.
How to Check and Add Fluid
Visually check the brake/clutch fluid
reservoir to make sure the fluid level
is at the MIN (minimum) line on the side of the reservoir. The brake/
hydraulic clutch fluid system should
be closed and sealed.
Do not remove the cap to check the
fluid level or to top-off the fluid level.
Remove the cap only when
necessary to add the proper fluid
until the level reaches the MIN line.
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
If the vehicle has a 6.2L V8 LT4
engine, see the Camaro High
Performance supplement.
The engine air cleaner/filter is in the
engine compartment on the driver
side of the vehicle. See
Engine
Compartment Overview 0256 for
location.
When to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
For intervals on changing and
inspecting the engine air filter, see
Maintenance Schedule 0337.
