  1. Loosen oil pan bolts at one corner. Tap pan to break it loose, allowing fluid to drain. Remove pan bolts and remove pan. Adjust rear band if required.
  2. Install a new filter and gasket (if equipped) on bottom of valve body and tighten screws. Clean pan.
  3. Install pan with new gasket. Ensure round magnet is over boss in right front corner of oil pan.
  4. Add 4 quarts (3.8L) of transmission fluid. Start engine and allow to idle for at least 2 minutes.
  5. With engine at curb idle and parking brake applied, move shift selector lever through all positions, ending in "N" position. Add enough fluid to bring level to "ADD" mark on dipstick.
  6. Recheck fluid level after transmission has reached normal operating temperature. Fluid level should be between "FULL" and "ADD" marks on dipstick. Do not overfill. Ensure dipstick is fully seated.
