Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill - Automated Equipment








Draining

CAUTION: Always refer to the instructions supplied with the flush and fill machine, or transmission damage may occur.

1. With the vehicle in PARK, position it on a hoist.
2. Use a suitable flush and fill machine to change the transmission fluid.
3. When connecting the flush and fill machine, connect the machine to the transmission fluid cooler tube after the transmission fluid cooler on the cooler return tube. This will help remove any foreign material trapped in the transmission fluid coolers.

Refill
1. Once the transmission fluid exchange has been completed, disconnect the flush and fill machine. Reconnect any disconnected transmission fluid cooler tubes.
2. With the engine running and the transmission at normal operating temperature 66 - 77° C (150 - 170° F), check and adjust the transmission fluid level, and check for any leaks. If transmission fluid is needed, add transmission fluid in increments of 0.24L (0.5 pt) until the correct level is achieved (transmission fluid should be in the cross-hatched area of the transmission fluid level indicator).
