Transmission Fluid Fill Procedure

^ Tools Required
- J 45096 Transmission Oil Cooling System Flush and Flow Test Tool
- J-45096-40 Transflow Oil Fill Adapter

Fill Tube Plug Method:

Notice: Use Dexron VI transmission fluid only. Failure to use the proper fluid may result in transmission internal damage.

Important: Perform this procedure for vehicles with transmissions that are not equipped with a fill tube and dipstick.





1. Unlock the fill tube plug by lifting the plunger. Once the plunger is lifted, remove the entire plug assembly.
2. Determine the approximate amount of fluid needed to fill the transmission, based on the repair performed. Refer to Fluid Capacity Specifications. To avoid an under-fill condition, slightly overfill the transmission, and then allow the extra fluid to drain during the fluid checking procedure.





3. Important: The J 45096 is being utilized as a convenient method to pump the fluid into the bottom pan. A suitable hand pump may also be used instead. When using the J 45096, monitor the display panel to determine the amount of fluid being pumped from the tool supply tank into the transmission.

Using the J-45096-40 and the J 45096, add transmission fluid through the fill tube plug opening. Refer to Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Flushing and Flow Test (J 45096) for complete J 45096 operating instructions. Use the FLOW position on the main function switch to pump the fluid.
