bottom of the filler hole with the vehicle on a level surface.
3Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some applications may vary
based on cooler size and if equipped with an in-tank cooler. The amount
of transmission fluid and fluid level should be set by the indication on
the dipstick’s normal operating range.
4Add the coolant type originally equipped in your vehicle.5Fill to 6 mm to 14 mm (1/4 inch to 9/16 inch) below bottom of fill hole.6Use of synthetic or synthetic blend motor oil is not mandatory. Engine
