How to Add Fluid
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine what
kind of transaxle fluid to use. See “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.
If the fluid level is low, add only enough of the proper
fluid to bring the level into the area between dimples on
the dipstick.
1. Pull out the dipstick.
2. Using a long
-
neck funnel, add enough fluid at the
dipstick hole to bring it to the proper level.
It doesn’t take much fluid, generally less than
one pint (0.5 L). Don’t overfill.
NOTICE:
We recommend you use only fluid labeled AC
Delco T
-
IV, because fluid with that label is made
especially for your automatic transaxle. Damage
caused by fluid other than AC Delco T
-
IV is not
covered by your new vehicle warranty.
3. After adding fluid, recheck the fluid level as
described under “How to Check.”
4. When the correct fluid level is obtained, push the
dipstick back in all the way; then press the tab down
to lock the dipstick in place.
