Maintenance and Specifications 7. Remove the dipstick and inspect the fluid level. The fluid should read within the hot range on the dipstick if at normal operating temperature (140°F-158°F [60°C-70°C]). Checking automatic transmission fluid at cool temperature (59°F-77°F [15°C-25°C]) If a fluid check is necessary at a low fluid temperature (59°F-77°F [15°C-25°C]), perform the check using the cold range on the dipstick. However, the fluid must be re-checked at the proper fluid temperature. Low fluid level Do not drive the vehicle if the fluid level does not show at all on the dipstick. Driving the vehicle with less than the recommended fluid level may result in transaxle failure. An under fill condition of transmission fluid may cause shift and/or engagement concerns and /or possible damage to the transaxle. High fluid level Fluid levels above the normal operating range may result in transaxle failure. An overfill condition of transmission fluid may cause shift and/or engagement concerns and/or possible damage to the transaxle. 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 Lubricant specifications section in this chapter. Note: Only one ATF fluid specification has been tested and approved for use with the automatic 6-speed: Premium Automatic Transmission fluid. Mercon fluids cannot be used with the automatic 6-speed without damage or voiding warranty. 237 2006 Milan (mln) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
