Service & Appearance Care Automatic Transaxle Fluid (CONT.) How To Add Fluid: Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of transaxle fluid to use. See theIndex under Fluids & Lubricants. If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper fluid to bring the level into the cross-hatched area on the dipstick. It doesn't take muchfluid, generally less than a pint. Don't overfill. We recommend you use only fluid labeled DEXRON@-IIE, because fluids with that label are made especially for your automatic transaxle. Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON@-IIE not covered by your is new vehicle warranty. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as described under How tu Check. When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the dipstick back in all the way. Manual Transaxle Fluid When to Check: A good time to have it checked iswhen the engine oil is changed. However, the fluid in your manual transaxle doesn't require changing. How to Check: Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may choose to have this done at a Pontiac dealership Service Department. If you do it yourself, besure to follow all the instructions here, you could or get a false reading on the dipstick. m . . 218
