How to Add Fluid

Here’s how to add fluid. Refer to the Maintenance
Schedule to determine what kind of fluid to use. See
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-14.

1. Remove the filler plug.

2. Add fluid at the filler plug hole. Add only enough

fluid to bring the fluid level up to the bottom of the
filler plug hole.

3. Install the filler plug. Be sure the plug is fully

seated.

Hydraulic Clutch

The hydraulic clutch linkage in your vehicle is
self-adjusting. The clutch master cylinder reservoir is
filled with hydraulic clutch fluid.

It is not necessary to regularly check clutch fluid unless
you suspect there is a leak in the system. Adding
fluid won’t correct a leak.

A fluid loss in this system could indicate a problem.
Have the system inspected and repaired.

When to Check and What to Use

The clutch master cylinder
reservoir is located in the
rear of the engine
compartment on the
driver’s side of the vehicle.
See

Engine Compartment

Overview on page 5-12
for more information
on location.

Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how
often you should check the fluid level in your clutch
master cylinder reservoir and for the proper fluid. See
Owner Checks and Services on page 6-10 and
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-14.
