Transmission Fluid Exchange

Transmission Fluid Exchange

NOTICE: Use transmission fluid specific for this transmission. Do not use any supplemental transmission fluid additives or cleaning agents. The use of these products can cause internal transmission components to fail, which will affect the operation of the transmission.

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Vehicle Jacking and Lifting.

2. Use the Heavy-Duty Transmission and Power Steering Fluid X-Changer to change the fluid.

3. Connect the Heavy-Duty Transmission and Power Steering Fluid X-Changer to the transmission fluid cooler tube after the transmission fluid cooler on the return tube. This will help remove any foreign material trapped in the transmission fluid coolers.

4. NOTE: Using the scan tool monitor the TFT PID, make sure the Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) is above 65°C (150°F).

Perform the transmission fluid exchange using the Heavy-Duty Transmission and Power Steering Fluid X-Changer. Follow the manufacturer's instructions included with the machine.

5. Using the scan tool with the engine running, check and make sure that the TFT has cooled to a temperature between 27-49°C (80-120°F). Check and adjust the transmission fluid level and check for any leaks.

6. Hold the larger transmission fluid drain plug with a wrench and remove the small transmission fluid level indicator plug (short hex).

7. Using the Heavy-Duty Transmission and Power Steering Fluid X-Changer, add 0.5L (1 pt) of transmission fluid. Allow the transmission fluid to drain. When the transmission fluid comes out as a thin stream or a drip, the transmission fluid is at the correct level.

8. Install the transmission fluid level indicator plug (short hex).
- Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).

9. Once the transmission fluid exchange is complete and the fluid is at the correct level, disconnect the Heavy-Duty Transmission and Power Steering Fluid X-Changer. Reconnect any disconnected transmission fluid cooler tubes.
