There is a dipstick at side of transmission for checking the fluid level.

1. Park vehicle on level area. Ensure oil is at normal operating temperature, parking brake is engaged, and engine is at idle. Move gear selector through each position, stopping briefly at each selection.

2. Place gear selector in Neutral, and clean area around dipstick tube. Ensure fluid level is between lower and upper marks, but never over upper mark, in HOT range. Add or drain fluid if necessary.


CAUTION:
If severe darkening of fluid and strong odor are noted, change fluid and filter, and adjust bands.
