Automatic Transaxle Fluid

When to Check and Change

A good time to check your automatic transaxle ﬂuid

level is when the engine oil is changed.

Change the ﬂuid every 50,000 miles (83 000 km) if

the vehicle is mainly driven under one or more of

these conditions:

• In heavy city traffic where the outside temperature

regularly reaches 90°F (32°C) or higher.

• In hilly or mountainous terrain.

• When doing recreational/trailer towing.

• Uses such as found in taxi, police or

delivery service.

If you do not use your vehicle under any of these

conditions, change the ﬂuid at 100,000 miles

(166 000 km).

See Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4.

How to Check

Because this operation can be a little difficult, you may

choose to have this done at the dealership service

department.

If you do it yourself, be sure to follow all the instructions

here, or you could get a false reading on the dipstick.

Notice: Too much or too little ﬂuid can damage the

transaxle. Too much can mean that some of the ﬂuid

could come out and fall on hot engine or exhaust

system parts, starting a ﬁre. Too little ﬂuid could

cause the transaxle to overheat. Be sure to get an

accurate reading if you check the transaxle ﬂuid.

Wait at least 30 minutes before checking the transaxle

ﬂuid level if you have been driving:

• When outside temperatures are above 90°F (32°C).

• At high speed for quite a while.

• In heavy traffic – especially in hot weather.

• While pulling a trailer.

To get the right reading, the ﬂuid should be at normal

operating temperature, which is 180°F to 200°F

(82°C to 93°C).

Get the vehicle warmed up by driving about 15 miles

(24 km) when outside temperatures are above 50°F

(10°C). If it’s colder than 50°F (10°C), you may have to

drive longer.
