Transmission Oil/Fluid Check Transmission oil/fluid must be checked with the engine off and the car on level ground. If the engine has been running, some engine components may be hot enough to bum you. Keep hands away from the radiator fan. The fan may start automatically without warning and run for up to 15 minutes, even after the engine is turned off. CAUTION: If the oil/fluid level is low, check for possible leaks before adding oil. Do not overfill. Since the transmission and differential are in the same housing, you are actually checking both oil/fluid levels in one procedure. Change transmission oil/fluid according to the Maintenance Schedule on page 78. 5-Speed Remove the oil filler bolt (beside the right axle). Feel inside the bolt hole with your finger. If the oil is up to the bottom edge of the hole, the oil level is correct. If it is not, slowly add oil until it runs out of the hole, then reinstall the bolt and tighten it securely with a wrench.

Transmission Oil/Fluid Check
Transmission oil/fluid must be checked with the engine off and
the car on level ground.
If the engine has been running, some engine components
may be hot enough to bum you.
Keep hands away from the radiator fan. The fan may start
automatically without warning and run for up to 15 minutes,
even after the engine is turned off.
CAUTION: If the oil/fluid level is low, check for possible leaks
before adding oil. Do not overfill.
Since the transmission and differential are in the same hous-
ing, you are actually checking both oil/fluid levels in one pro-
cedure. Change transmission oil/fluid according to the Mainte-
nance Schedule on page
78
.

Remove the oil filler bolt (beside the right axle). Feel inside the
bolt hole with your finger. If the oil is up to the bottom edge of
the hole, the oil level is correct. If it is not, slowly add oil until it
runs out of the hole, then reinstall the bolt and tighten it
securely with a wrench.
