How to Add Fluid Here's how to add fluid. Refer to theMaintenance Schedule to determine what kind of fluid to use. See "Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" in the Index. 1. Remove the dipstick by flipping the handle up and then pulling the dipstick out. 2. Add fluid at the dipstick hole. Add onlyenough fluid to bring the fluid level up to the FULL markon the dipstick. 3. Push the dipstick back in all the way; then flip the handle down to lock the dipstick in place. 3. Check both sides of the dipstick and read the lower level. The fluid level must be between the ADD and FULL marks. (Note: Fluid may appear at the bottom of the dipstick even when the fluid level is several pints low.) 4. If the fluid level is where it should be, push the dipstick back in all the way and flip the handle down. If the fluid level is low, add more fluid as described in the next steps. Hydraulic Clutch The hydraulic clutch linkage in your vehicle is self-adjusting. The clutch master cylinder reservoir is filled with hydraulic clutch fluid. It isn't a good idea to "top off' your clutch fluid. Adding fluid won't correct a leak. A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected and repaired. 6-23
