  1. Loosen oil pan bolts. Tap lightly at one corner to break loose and allow fluid to drain. Remove pan. Install new filter on bottom of valve body and tighten retaining screws. Clean oil pan. Ensure magnet (if used) is over boss in right front corner of pan. Install pan with new gasket.
  2. Refill transmission with 4 qts. (3.8L) of fluid. Start engine and allow to run at idle for at least 2 minutes. With engine at curb idle and parking brake applied, move shift selector lever through all ranges, ending in "N". Add fluid up to 2 dimples on dipstick. DO NOT  overfill. Recheck fluid level when transmission reaches normal operating temperature.
