Fluid Condition Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Land Rover Discovery Sport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Use the following procedure to check the fluid condition, which is a good indicator of the internal condition of the transmission:

  1. Check the fluid level.
  2. Observe the color and the odor of the fluid. Unused fluid is honey colored and becomes dark or blackish after the vehicle is driven a few hundred miles.
  3. Allow the fluid to drip onto a facial tissue and examine the stain.
  4. A small quantity of fine debris is normal (due to normal wear). Large metal particles may indicate excessive wear or internal damage.
