MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 459 CAUTION! Using a transmission fluid other than the manufacturer's recommended fluid may cause deterioration in transaxle shift quality and/or torque converter shudder. Using a transmission fluid other than the manufacturer's recommended fluid will result in more frequent fluid and filter changes. Refer to "Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts" in this section for the correct fluid type. Fluid Level Check - 3.8L and 4.0L Engines with Six-Speed Automatic Transaxle - If Equipped The six-speed automatic transaxle is a sealed unit and has no dipstick. See your authorized dealer to have the transaxle fluid checked or serviced. Fluid Level Check - 3.3L Engine with Four-Speed Automatic Transaxle - If Equipped The dipstick is located just behind the radiator on the lower right side. To properly check the automatic transaxle fluid level, the following procedure must be used: 1. The vehicle must be on level ground. 2. The engine should be running at curb idle speed for a minimum of 60 seconds. 3. Fully apply the parking brake. 4. Place the shift lever momentarily into each gear position, ending with the shift lever in PARK. Wipe the area around the dipstick clean to eliminate the possibility of dirt entering the transaxle. 7
