Maintenance and Specifications Low fluid level Do not drive the vehicle if the fluid level is at the bottom of the dipstick. If the fluid level is below the MIN mark, add fluid in 1/2 pint (250 ml) increments. Correct fluid level The transmission fluid should be checked at normal operating temperatures 120°F-140°F (50°C-60°C) on a level surface. The normal operating temperature can be reached after approximately 20 miles (30 km) of driving. The transmission fluid should be in this range if at normal operating temperature (120°F-140°F [50°C-60°C]). High fluid level Fluid levels above the safe range may result in transmission failure. An overfill condition of transmission fluid may cause shift and/or engagement concerns and/or possible damage. High fluid levels can be caused by an overheating condition. Adjusting automatic transmission fluid levels Before adding any fluid, make sure the correct type is used. The type of fluid used is normally indicated on the dipstick and also in the Maintenance product specifications and capacities section in this chapter. Use of a non-approved automatic transmission fluid may cause internal transmission component damage. If necessary, add fluid in 1/2 pint (250 ml) increments through the filler tube until the level is correct. After adding fluid, wait 20 minutes before checking the fluid level in order to allow the level to stabilize. 252 2011 Transit Connect (tst) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
