Fluid - A/T: Service and Repair

Changing A/T Fluid

2. Stop the engine.





3. Drain the A/T fluid by removing the drain plug. Reinstall the drain plug to the specified torque using a new drain washer.
Drain plug: Refer to "Components".
4. Refill the transaxle with new specified A/T fluid through the A/T fluid charging pipe. Always refill the transaxle with the same volume amount that was drained out.

CAUTION: Do not overfill the transaxle.

Fluid grade and capacity: Refer to "Fluids and Lubricants".
5. Run the engine at idle speed for five minutes.
