Transmission Fluid Level Inspection

1. Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .

Warning: Refer to Checking Hot Transmission Fluid through Drain Plug Hole Warning in the Preface section.





Note: It is not necessary to check the fluid level unless oil discolouration occurs or leakage is suspected. Make sure to check the fluid level with the engine stopped. Check if the vehicle is level.

2. Remove the transmission case oil fill plug (1) and check the oil level. The fluid level should be up to the bottom edge of the fluid plug hole.
3. If the level is low, add manual gearbox fluid through the filler plug hole until the fluid begins to run out.

Caution: Refer to Component Fastener Tightening Caution in the Preface section.

Install the NEW transmission case oil fill plug (1) and tighten to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).
