● The fluid can be checked at fluid temperatures of 86 - 122°F (30 - 50°C) using the COLD range on the dipstick after the engine is warmed up and before driving. However, the fluid should be re-checked using the HOT range. 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake. 2. Start the engine and then move the shift selector through each gear range, ending in P (Park). 3. Check the fluid level with the engine idling. WDI0636 CAUTION DO NOT OVERFILL. Use Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF. NOTE: If the vehicle has been driven for a long time at high speeds, or in city traffic in hot weather, the fluid level cannot be read accurately. You should wait until the fluid has cooled down (about 30 minutes) before checking fluid level. 4. Remove the dipstick. 5. Wipe the dipstick clean with lint-free paper. 6. Reinsert the dipstick into the dipstick tube as far as it will go. 7. Remove the dipstick and note the reading. If the automatic transmission fluid level is within the normal operating range, no additional fluid is required. If the fluid level is low add fluid through the dipstick tube. 8-14 Maintenance and do-it-yourself
