- Install the drain plug.
- Fill the transmission.
- Add 7.1 liters (7.5 qts) of clean automatic transmission fluid to the transmission through the fluid filler tube.
- Start the engine. Move the transmission range selector lever through all the gear ranges, checking for engagements.
- 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 cross-hatched area of the fluid level indicator).
CAUTION:
The use of any other transmission fluid than specified can result in the transmission failing to operate in a normal manner or transmission failure.
