Transmission Fluid Level Inspection




Caution: Refer to Checking Hot Transmission Fluid through Drain Plug Hole Caution (Service Precautions).
1. With the vehicle on a level surface and the fluid in the transaxle cold, remove the filler plug and check the fluid level. The fluid should come to the bottom edge of the plug hole.




2. If the level is low, add SAE 75W-85 GL-4 manual transaxle fluid through the filler plug hole until the fluid begins to run out.
3. Reinstall the filler plug and tighten it securely.
4. If the fluid is contaminated, drain the oil after removing the differential gear cover.
