General information
Notice: Operating a transmission with the fluid level higher or lower than recommended can result in transmission damage. Do not overfill the transmission. Overfilling will force fluid out of the case through the main shaft openings.
Do not mix types or brands of fluid, because of possible incompatibility. Do not use fluid additives, friction modifiers, extreme-pressure gear fluids, or multiviscosity lubricants.
With the transmission at operating temperature, and the vehicle on a level surface, check the fluid level in the transmission.
Some transmissions are equipped with a sight glass for checking the fluid level. For transmissions not so equipped, check the fluid level at the fill plug.
