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 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 Services” in the Index.

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 your

transaxle. Too much can mean that some of the

fluid could come out and fall on hot engine parts

or exhaust system parts, starting a fire. Be sure to

get an accurate reading if you check your

transaxle fluid.
