    • Add 7.1L (7.5 qt) of clean transmission fluid to the transmission through the transmission fluid filler tube.
  3. Start the engine. Move the transmission range selector lever through all the gear ranges, checking for engagements.
  4. 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 transmission fluid is needed, add transmission fluid in increments of 0.24L (0.5 pt) until the correct level is achieved (transmission fluid should be in the cross-hatched area of the fluid level indicator).
