Automatic Transaxle Fluid

When to Check and Change Automatic

Transaxle Fluid

A good time to check your automatic transaxle ﬂuid

level is when the engine oil is changed.

Change both the ﬂuid and ﬁlter 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 frequent 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 and ﬁlter at

100,000 miles (166 000 km).

See Scheduled Maintenance on page 6-4 for more

information.

How to Check Automatic Transaxle

Fluid

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
