Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill - Automated Equipment

Special Tool(s):

Material:

Drain

CAUTION: Always refer to the instructions supplied with the flush and fill machine.

NOTE: Draining fluid from the transmission by removing only the fluid pan is acceptable for normal or severe duty fluid maintenance.

1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.
2. Use a suitable flush and fill machine to change the fluid.
3. When connecting the flush and fill machine, connect the machine to the fluid cooler tube after the fluid cooler on the cooler return line. This will help remove any foreign material trapped in the fluid coolers.

Refill

1. Use only clean automatic transmission fluid.
2. Once the fluid exchange has been completed, disconnect the flush and fill machine. Reconnect any disconnected fluid cooler tubes.
3. With the engine running and the transmission at normal operating temperature 66-77�C (150-170�F), check and adjust the transmission fluid level and check for any leaks. If fluid is needed, add fluid in increments of 0.24-liter (0.5-pint) until the correct level is achieved (fluid should be in the cross-hatched area of the fluid level indicator).
