How to Determine the Amount of Transmission Fluid?
1 Answers
Transmission fluid level can be determined as follows: 1. Park the vehicle on a level and straight road surface. 2. Start the engine and warm it up until the coolant temperature reaches above 90 degrees Celsius. Keep the engine running for several minutes. 3. Shift the gear lever from P (Park) through each gear position and then back to P. Press the brake pedal and move the gear lever to positions such as R (Reverse) and D (Drive), pausing for a few seconds in each position to ensure the torque converter and all shift actuators are filled with hydraulic fluid. Finally, shift the gear lever back to P (Park) to allow the fluid to enter the valve body and corresponding oil passages. 4. Pull out the automatic transmission dipstick from the filler tube, reinsert it fully, then pull it out again. Check the fluid level on the dipstick. The fluid level should be near the upper limit mark on the dipstick to indicate the correct amount of fluid.
