Fluid Level Check
Your vehicle is equipped with a capped transmission oil fill tube that is sealed and it should not be tampered with.
Your authorized dealer has the proper tools to ensure that the fluid level is set properly.
CAUTION!
Using a transmission fluid other than the manufacturer’s
recommended fluid may cause deterioration
in transmission shift quality and/or torque converter
shudder. Using a transmission fluid other than that
recommended by the manufacturer will require more
frequent fluid and filter changes. Refer to “Fluids,
Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining
Your Vehicle” for further information.
