We recommend you use only fluid labeled DEXRON@-111,because fluid with that label 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." 0 When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the dipstick back in all the way.
