CAUTION:
When checking the oil level, be careful not to enter dust, foreign matters, etc. from fill hole.
- Remove the eyebolt (A).
Eyebolt tightening torque: 4.9 ~ 5.9 N.m (0.5 ~ 0.6 kgf.m, 3.6 ~ 4.3 lb-ft)
CAUTION: The gasket of the eyebolt use new one. - Add ATF SP-IV 700cc to the ATF injection hole (A).

- Confirm that the temperature of the A/T oil temperature sensor is 50~60°C (122~140°F) with the GDS.
- Shift the select lever slowly from "P" to "D", then "D" to "P" and repeat one more at idle.CAUTION: Keep on each speed position more than 2 sec.
- Lift the vehicle, then remove the oil level plug (A) from the valve body cover.
CAUTION: At this time, the vehicle must be a horizontal state.
- If the oil flows out of the overflow plug in thin steady stream, the oil level is correct.
Then finish the procedure and tighten the oil plug.
NOTE: Oil level check (excess or shortage) method- Excess: Drain quantity exceed 900cc for two minutes. {50~60°C (122~140°F)}
- Shortage: No drain.
CAUTION: If the transaxle has no oil leaks, ATF should flow out after performing steps 1 to 7. If oil does not flow out, add an additional 700 cc of SP-IV.To Tighten Oil Level Plug:
Turn the oil level plug clockwise until it is set
- Lower the vehicle with the lift and then tighten the eyebolt.
