Check Oil Level

CHECK OIL LEVEL

Special Tools:






1. Verify the vehicle is parked on a level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick tube cap.

WARNING: There is a risk of accident from vehicle starting off by itself when engine running. There is a risk of injury from contusions and burns if you insert your hands into the engine when it is started or when it is running. Secure vehicle to prevent it from moving off by itself. Wear properly fastened and close-fitting work clothes. Do not touch hot or rotating parts.

3. Actuate the service brake. Start the engine and let it run at idle speed in selector lever position "P".
4. Shift through the transmission modes several times with the vehicle stationary and the engine idling.
5. Warm up the transmission and wait at least two minutes. Check the oil level with the engine running. Push the Oil Dipstick into the transmission fill tube until the dipstick tip contacts the oil pan. Pull out the oil dipstick and read the oil level. Repeat if necessary.

NOTE: The dipstick protrudes from the fill tube when installed.






6. Check the transmission oil temperature using the appropriate scan tool.

NOTE: The true transmission oil temperature can only be read by a scan tool with the transmission in REVERSE or any forward gear position. Temperature Sensor/Park-Neutral Contact - Operation

7. The transmission Oil Dipstick has indicator marks every 10 mm. With the transmission in PARK, determine the height of the oil level on the dipstick. Using the height, the transmission temperature and the transmission fluid graph, determine if the transmission oil level is correct.
8. Add or remove the oil as necessary and recheck the oil level.
9. Once the oil level is correct, install the dipstick tube cap.
