Transmission Fluid Exchange




Transmission Fluid Exchange









NOTICE: Use transmission fluid specific for this transmission. Do not use any supplemental transmission fluid additives or cleaning agents. The use of these products can cause internal transmission components to fail, which will affect the operation of the transmission.

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.

2. Use the ATF Fluid Exchanger W/Power Steering Fluid Exchanger to change the fluid.

3. Connect the ATF Fluid Exchanger W/Power Steering Fluid Exchanger to the transmission fluid cooler tube after the transmission fluid cooler is connected to the return tube. This will help remove any foreign material trapped in the transmission fluid coolers.

4. Perform the transmission fluid exchange using the ATF Fluid Exchanger W/Power Steering Fluid Exchanger. Follow the manufacturer's instructions included with the machine.

5. Once the transmission fluid exchange is completed, disconnect the ATF Fluid Exchanger W/Power Steering Fluid Exchanger. Reconnect any disconnected transmission fluid cooler tubes.

6. Using the scan tool with the engine running, check and make sure that the transmission is at normal operating temperature 80-85°C (176-185°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.
