Fluid Level Check

To check fluid, drive vehicle for at least 5 minutes to bring fluid to operating temperature to approximately 122-176°F. With vehicle on a level surface and engine idling in Park and parking brake applied, move gear selector through all gear positions and return to "P" position. Dipsticks may be marked with Hot and Cold ranges. Use cold range if fluid is between (86-120°F).
