Fluid - A/T: Service and Repair

ATF, topping up

CAUTION!
- Too much ATF will cause transmission malfunctions and must therefore be extracted. This can be done with VAG 1358 A/1 and VAG 1358A probe, or EZ1 fluid evacuator.
- Only ATF with the designation Dexron may be used. Do not use any lubricant additives.


- Pour in ATF through a funnel. Approx. 3 liters (3.2 US qt.) at first for an initial filling.

- Then start engine and shift through all the selector lever positions with the vehicle stationary.

- Check ATF level.

- Use a non-fluffing cloth for wiping off the dipstick.

The ATF level changes with the temperature of the fluid. The Min. and Max. markings on the dipstick refer to the correct levels for an ATF temperature of 60°C (140°F).
