n o w to Add Fluid Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of transmission fluid to use. See "Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" in the Index. Add fluid only after checking the transmission fluid HOT. (A COLD check is used only asa reference.) If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper fluid to bring the level up to the HOT area for ahot check. It doesn't take much fluid, generally less than a pint. Don 't over$iZZ. We recommend you use only fluid labeled DEXRON@-111,because fluid with that label is made especially for your automatic transmission. Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON@-I11 is not covered by your new vehicle warranty. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as described under "How to Check." When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the dipstick back in all the way.

Fluid
Manual
Transmlssion
Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of transmission fluid to use. See “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
Add fluid only after checking the transmission fluid
HOT.
(A
COLD
check is used
only
as a reference.) If
the fluid level is low,
add only enough of
the
proper
fluid to bring the level up to the
HOT
area for
a hot
check. It doesn’t take
much fluid, generally less than
a
pint.
Don
’t
over$iZZ.
We recommend
you
use
only
fluid
labeled DEXRON@-111, because fluid with that label is
made especially for your automatic transmission.
Damage caused by fluid other than
DEXRON@-I11
is
not covered by your
new
vehicle
warranty.
After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described under
“How
to Check.”
When the correct fluid level
is
obtained, push the
dipstick back
in
all the way.
How
to
Check
Because this operation can be difficult, you
may
choose
to
have this done at your Chevrolet dealer Service
Department.
If
you do
it
yourself, be sure to
follow
all the
instructions here, or you could get a
false
reading.
I
NOTICE:
Too
much
or
too
little
fluid
can
damage
your
transmission.
Too
much
can
mean
that
some
of
the
fluid
could
come
out
and
fall
on
hot
engine
parts
or
exhaust
system
parts,
starting
a
fire. Be
sure to get
an
accurate
reading
if
you
check
your
transmission
fluid.
Check the fluid level
only
when
your
engine is off, the
vehicle
is
parked
on
a
level
place
and
the
transmission
is
cool enough for you to rest
your fingers on the
transmission case.
