shudder, and will require more frequent fluid and
filter changes. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and
Genuine Parts” in this section for fluid specifica-
tions.

Special Additives
The manufacturer strongly recommends against using

any special additives in the transmission.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is an engineered

product and its performance may be impaired by supple-

mental additives. Therefore, do not add any fluid addi-

tives to the transmission. The only exception to this

policy is the use of special dyes for diagnosing fluid

leaks. Avoid using transmission sealers as they may

adversely affect seals.

CAUTION!

Do not use chemical flushes in your transmission as
the chemicals can damage your transmission compo-
nents. Such damage is not covered by the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Fluid Level Check
The fluid level is preset at the factory and does not

require adjustment under normal operating conditions.

Routine fluid level checks are not required, therefore the

transmission has no dipstick. Your authorized dealer can

check your transmission fluid level using special service

tools.
If you notice fluid leakage or transmission malfunction,

visit your authorized dealer immediately to have the

transmission fluid level checked. Operating the vehicle

with an improper fluid level can cause severe transmis-

sion damage.
