Automatic Transaxle Fluid

When to Check and Change

A good time to check your automatic transaxle fluid
level is when the engine oil is changed.

Change both the fluid and filter every 50,000 miles
(83 000 km) if the vehicle is mainly driven under one or
more of these conditions:
D In heavy city traffic where the outside temperature

regularly reaches 90

_F (32_C) or higher.

D In hilly or mountainous terrain.
D When doing frequent trailer towing.
D Uses such as found in taxi, police or delivery service.
If you do not use your vehicle under any of
these conditions, change the fluid and filter
at 100,000 miles (166 000 km).
