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.
