Note: The amount of fluid listed in this Section is the total fluid, i.e. the fluid in the torque converter (approximately 2 liters), in the radiator heat exchanger section and connecting pipes. Most of this fluid can be removed by removing the drain plug. If the transmission is filled after a complete overhaul, the full amount of fluid will be needed. If the fluid is replaced as a maintenance, only the fluid contained in the transmission itself will be drained.
1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
2. Place the car on a level surface, apply the handbrake, set the lever to the "P" position, turn off the ignition. Open the hood, remove the dipstick from the pipe.
3. Place a suitable container under the transmission, remove the drain plug on the lower front edge of the transmission (see Figure 7.4). Drain the liquid into a container.
Figure 7.4. Location of the drain plug
4. Clean and install the drain plug, tighten it to the tightening torque specified in the Specifications.
5. Fill the transmission through the dipstick tube to the upper "Cold" mark on the back of the dipstick.
6. Start the engine, slowly move the selector lever through all positions to distribute the fluid in the transmission. Return the lever to the "P" position.
7. Check the fluid level according to the "Cold" marks and top up if necessary.
8. Drive the vehicle a short distance to fully warm up the engine/transmission, check the fluid level on the dipstick at the "Hot" marks.
