Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill - Automated Equipment: Refill
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Use only clean automatic transmission fluid.
- Once the fluid exchange has been completed, disconnect the flush and fill machine. Reconnect any disconnected fluid cooler tubes.
- Lower the vehicle. For additional information, refer to JACKING & LIFTING .
- With the engine running and the transmission at normal operating temperature 66-77°C (150-170°F), check and adjust the transmission fluid level and check for any leaks. If fluid is needed, add fluid in increments of 0.24 liter (0.5 pint) until the correct level is achieved (fluid should be in the crosshatched area of the fluid level indicator).
