Fluid Level Checking/Changing

With car on level ground and engine at normal operating temperature, pull transaxle dipstick and check level of fluid immediately after engine is shutoff (within one minute). The fluid level should be between FULL and LOW (upper and lower) marks. Push dipstick all the way in to check fluid level. If level is at or below the LOW (lower) mark, add Dexron II type automatic transmission fluid.
