10-14 Vehicle Care

If the CHANGE OIL SOON

message comes back on when the

vehicle is started, the engine oil life

system has not reset. Repeat the

procedure.

Automatic Transmission

Fluid

It is not necessary to check

the transmission fluid level.

A transmission fluid leak is the

only reason for fluid loss. If a leak

occurs, take the vehicle to the

dealer and have it repaired as soon

as possible.

Change the fluid and filter at the

intervals listed in Scheduled

Maintenance on page 11‑2, and be

sure to use the transmission fluid

listed in Recommended Fluids and

Lubricants on page 11‑6.

Notice: Use of the incorrect

automatic transmission fluid may

damage the vehicle, and the

damages may not be covered by

the vehicle warranty. Always use

the automatic transmission fluid

listed in Recommended Fluids

and Lubricants on page 11‑6.

For the 2.4 L and 3.6 L engines, the

transmission fluid will not reach the

end of the dipstick unless the

transmission is at operating

temperature. If the transmission fluid

level needs to be checked, please

take the vehicle to the dealer.

Engine Air Cleaner/Filter

See Engine Compartment Overview

on page 10‑6 for the location of the

engine air cleaner/filter.

When to Inspect the Engine Air

Cleaner/Filter

scheduled maintenance intervals

and replace it at the first oil change

after each 80 000 km (50,000 mi)

interval. See Scheduled

Maintenance on page 11‑2 for more

information. If driving in dusty/dirty

conditions, inspect the filter at each

engine oil change.

How to Inspect the Engine Air

To inspect the air cleaner/filter,

remove the filter from the vehicle
