For the crew cab vehicle, the
dipstick is located beneath the
rear-of-engine inspection panel.
After unlatching the A/T fluid
inspection cover, the dipstick will be
visible.
Inspection
Wait at least 30 minutes before
checking the transmission fluid if
you have been driving at high speed
for a long period of time, in city/
heavy traffic or while pulling a trailer.1. Start the engine, and drive the vehicle for approximately
10 minutes to warm up the
engine. During 10 minutes, the automatic transmission fluid
should reach a temperature of
approximately 70 - 80 °C (158 -
176 °F). During the winter
when temperatures are low,
adjust the amount of driving
time according to the actual
conditions.
2. Park the vehicle on level ground, and firmly apply the
parking brake.
3. With the engine idling, move the selector lever from the “P”
position to the “1”position
while pressing the brake pedal,
and then return the lever from
the “1”position to the “P”
position.
4. With the engine still idling, pull out the dipstick and wipe it with
a clean cloth.Transmission Dipstick
5. Reinsert the dipstick into position, pull out the dipstick
slowly, and check whether the
fluid level is within the “H”
marked range. Always check
the fluid level at least twice.
Consistently is important in
maintaining accuracy.
If inconsistent readings persist,
check the transmission
breather to ensure that it is
clean and free of debris.

Service and Maintenance 319
.Frequent short trips of less than
16 kilometers (10 miles) in sub-
freezing temperatures
. Frequent and extended low-
speed engine operation (door-
to- door deliveries, stop- and- go
traffic, etc.)
. Driving on unpaved roads with
heavy dust
. Towing a trailer
Power Take Off (PTO) and
Extended Idle Use
When the vehicle is used with the
PTO equipment or used in a way
that requires extended idle time,
one hour of use shall be deemed
the same as 33 miles. See Driver
Information Center (DIC) 070 for
hourmeter.
Preventive Maintenance
As any mechanical device operates,
a certain amount of wear occurs.
The amount of wear depends on
certain variables –type and method
of operation and the schedule of
maintenance. These variables may be emphasized as critical to
malfunction but each is dependent
upon the other. For example, if a
vehicle is repeatedly overloaded,
driven at excessive speed or
improperly shifted, no schedule of
maintenance can prevent
malfunction. Also, if a preventive
maintenance schedule is not
followed, or is improperly carried
out, no amount of correct vehicle
operation will prevent malfunction.
If vehicle application, operation and
preventive maintenance schedules
and procedures are followed and
properly carried out, the life of the
vehicle will be greatly extended.
For example, regular attention to the
engine oil is essential. The oil level
must be periodically checked and oil
added whenever needed. Also, the
oil should be changed at the
intervals specified with the proper
quality and viscosity of oil. If your
engine should run excessively low
on oil or if the oil has lost its
lubricating qualities because of old
age, serious engine damage could
occur.
