The automatic transmission uses a special oil for hydraulic systems such as ATF Dextron (sometimes it is called the working fluid)
The automatic transmission fluid level should be checked periodically between the intervals specified in the maintenance plan. The vehicle should be on a level surface when checking the fluid level. The transmission should be moderately warmed up when checking the fluid level (approximately 10 km after starting a cold engine). At higher or lower temperatures, measurements may be inaccurate.
During the level check, the engine must be idling and the selector lever must be in the "P" position.
To check, remove the dipstick (see picture), wipe with a clean, soft cloth and reinsert it until it stops.
Remove the dipstick again and inspect the level mark. The oil level should be between the two marks. If the oil level is outside the permissible limits, it is recommended to establish the reason for the level change at a service station - simply adding or reducing the level is not enough.
Automatic Transmission Oil Change
Automatic transmission fluid should be changed according to the schedule specified in the maintenance plan.
Due to the disposal problem, the need for special tools and skills, it is better to perform oil and filter changes at a service station.
Directions: Do not mix any additives with automatic transmission oil.
