Draining

CAUTION: Do not use water-based cleaners, mineral spirits, brake cleaner or solvents that may contain acetone, xylene or heptane to clean and/or flush the transmission assembly, transmission components and the torque converter or transmission damage will occur. Use only clean transmission fluid designated for the transmission/converter being serviced.

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

1. With the vehicle in PARK, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Maintenance/Service and Repair.
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, check and adjust the transmission fluid level and check for any leaks. If fluid is needed, add fluid in increments of 0.24L (0.5 pt) until the correct level is achieved.
