Transmission Draining and Filling

Transmission Draining and Filling





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

2. NOTE: Prior to removal, clean the area surrounding the fill plug.

Remove the fill plug.





3. Remove the drain plug and drain the fluid.





4. Install the drain plug.
- Tighten to 43 Nm (32 lb-ft).





5. NOTE: Do not overfill the transaxle. This will cause transaxle fluid to be forced out of the case.

Using a suitable oil suction gun, fill the transaxle to the correct level with the specified fluid. Add transmission fluid until the oil runs out of the fill port in a continuous stream. The transaxle is full when the oil flow from the fill port has slowed to a broken stream or dripping.





6. NOTE: Use a ball head hex socket to torque to specifications.

Install the fill plug.
