How
to
Add
Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule
to
determine
what
kind of transaxle
fluid
to
use. See
“Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants”
in
the
Index.
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.
1.
Pull out the dipstick.
2.
Using a long-neck funnel,
add
enough
fluid
at
the
dipstick hole to bring it to the proper
level.
It
doesn’
take
much fluid, generally less
than
a
pint
(0.5L).
Don
’t
overfill.
We recommend you
use
only
fluid
labeled DEXRON@-111, because
fluid
with
that
labe
is made especially for your automatic
transaxle.
Damage caused by fluid
other
than DEXRON@-I11
is
not covered by
your
new vehicle
warranty.
After adding fluid, recheck the
fluid
level
as
described under “How to
Check.”
When the correct fluid level
is
obtained,
push
the
dipstick back in all the
way.

Automatic
Transaxle
Fluid
(2.3L
Code
D
Engine
Only)
If you have
the
optional
2.3L
Code
D
engine
(see
“Engine
Identification”
in
the
Index)
and
an
automatic
transaxle,
it is not
necessary
to
check
the
transaxle
fluid
level.
A
transaxle
fluid
leak
is
the
only
reason
for
fluid
loss. If a
leak
occurs,
take
the
vehicle
to
your
Pontiac
dealer
Service
Department
and
have
it repaired
as
soon
as
possible.
You
may
also
have your fluid
level
checked
by your
dealer or service
center when you have
your
oil
changed.
Manual
Transaxle
Fluid
When
to
Check
A
good
time
to
have
it
checked
is
when
the
engine
oil
is
changed.
However,
the
fluid
in
your
manual
transaxle
doesn’t
require
changing.
