How to Add Fluid Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what kind of transmission fluid to use. See "Recommended Fluids andLubricants'' in the Index. Add fluid only after checking the transmission fluid while it is hot. (A cold check is used only as a reference.) If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper fluid to bring the level up toHOT the area for a hot check. It doesn't take much fluid, generally less than one pint(0.5 L). Don't overJiZ1. 3. Check both sidesof the dipstick, and read the lower level. The fluid level must be in the COLD area for a NOTICE: cold check or in the HOT area or cross-hatched area for a hot check. We recommend youuse only fluid labeled 4. If the fluid level is in the acceptable range, push the DEXR0N'-III, because fluid with thatlabel is dipstick backin all the way; then flip the handle made especially for your automatic transmission. down to lock the dipstick in place. Damage caused by fluid other than DEXRON-ZLI is not covered by your new vehicle warranty. 0 After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as described under"How to Check." When the correct fluid levelis obtained, push the dipstick backin all theway; then flip the handle down to lock the dipstick in place. 6-19
