Transmission Fluid Level And Condition Check: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

This procedure checks both the transmission fluid level, as well as the condition of the fluid itself.

CAUTION:

Use Dexron® VI transmission fluid only. Failure to use the proper fluid may result in transmission internal damage.

NOTE:

Ensure the transmission has enough fluid in it to safely start the vehicle without damaging the transmission. With the vehicle off and the transmission fluid temperature at approximately 20 - 25°C (68 - 77°F) there must be at least enough fluid to drain out of the fluid level hole. This will ensure that there is enough fluid in the sump to fill the components once the vehicle is started.
