Checking the automatic transaxle fluid level Fluid level should be within "HOT" range G110D03MC OMC059006 WARNING: The transaxle fluid level should be checked when the engine is at normal operating temperature. This means that the engine, radiator, exhaust system etc., are very hot. Exercise great care not to burn yourself during this procedure. ! The automatic transaxle fluid level should be checked regularly. Keep the vehicle on level ground with the parking brake applied and check the fluid level according to the following procedure. 1. Place the shift lever in N (Neutral) position and confirm the engine is running at idle speed. 2. After the transaxle is warmed up sufficiently [(fluid temperature 158~176°F (70~80°C)], for example by 10 minutes usual driving, move the shift lever through all positions then place the shift lever in N (Neutral) or P (Park) position. 3. Confirm if the fluid level is in the "HOT" range on the level gauge. If the fluid level is lower, add the specified fluid from the fill hole. If the fluid level is higher, drain the fluid from the drain hole. 4. If the fluid level is checked in cold condition [(fluid temperature 68~86°F (20~30°C)], add the fluid to the "COLD" line and then recheck the fluid level according to the above step 2.
