Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Transmission Fluid Level
The transmission fluid level is checked with the transaxle at normal operating temperature between 85°C and 93°C (185°F and 200° F).
The transmission fluid level indicator is part of the transmission fluid filler tube located at the back of the torque converter housing.
The correct transmission fluid level is between the minimum and maximum marks on the transmission fluid level indicator.
