6.Remove the dipstick again, and note the fluid
level on both sides. The fluid level reading is only
valid if there is a solid coating of oil on both sides of
the dipstick. The holes in the dipstick will be full of
fluid if the actual level is at or above the hole. The
fluid level should be between the "HOT"(upper)
reference holes on the dipstick at normal operating
temperature. If the fluid level is low, add fluid
through the dipstick tube to bring it to the proper
level. Do not overfill. Use ONLY the recom-
mended fluid (see "Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine
Parts" for fluid specifications). After adding any
quantity of oil through the dipstick tube, wait a
minimum of two minutes for the oil to fully drain into
the transmission before rechecking the fluid level.
NOTE:If it is necessary to check the transmission
below the operating temperature, the fluid level
should be between the two “COLD” (lower)
holes on the dipstick with the fluid at approxi-
mately 70°F (21°C) (room temperature). If the
fluid level is correctly established at room tem-
perature, it should be between the “HOT” (up-
per) reference holes when the transmission
reaches 180°F (82°C). Remember it is best to
check the level at the normal operating tem-
perature.
CAUTION!
If the fluid temperature is below 50°F (10°C)
it may not register on the dipstick. Do not add
fluid until the temperature is elevated enough
to produce an accurate reading. Run the
engine at idle, in PARK, to warm the fluid.
7. Check for leaks. Release the parking brake.
NOTE:
To prevent dirt and water from entering the
transmission after checking or replenishing
fluid, make sure that the dipstick cap is
properly reseated. It is normal for the dip-
stick cap to spring back slightly from its
fully seated position, as long as its seal
remains engaged in the dipstick tube.
Fluid And Filter Changes
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the
proper maintenance intervals.
In addition, change the fluid and filter if the
transmission is disassembled for any reason.Appearance Care And Protection
From Corrosion
Protection Of Body And Paint From CorrosionVehicle body care requirements vary according
to geographic locations and usage. Chemicals
that make roads passable in snow and ice, and
those that are sprayed on trees and road sur-
faces during other seasons, are highly corrosive
to the metal in your vehicle.
The following maintenance recommendations
will enable you to obtain maximum benefit from
the corrosion resistance built into your vehicle.
What Causes Corrosion?
Corrosion is the result of deterioration or re-
moval of paint and protective coatings from your
vehicle.
The most common causes are:
• Road salt, dirt and moisture accumulation.
• Stone and gravel impact.
• Insects, tree sap and tar.
• Salt in the air near seacoast localities.
• Atmospheric fallout/industrial pollutants.
