How to Check Transmission Fluid?
1 Answers
Transmission fluid inspection method: 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface; 2. Start the engine and warm it up until the coolant temperature reaches above 90 degrees Celsius, keeping the engine running; 3. Depress the brake pedal and shift the gear lever from P position through each gear before returning to P position, allowing the fluid to enter the valve body and corresponding oil passages; 4. Remove the dipstick to check the fluid level, ensuring it's between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. Proper automatic transmission fluid level inspection must be performed with the engine warmed up. The vehicle engine must not be turned off when checking the HOT range. The COLD mark is for reference only and should not be used to determine transmission fluid level.
