1993 Geo Prizm L4-1600cc 1.6L DOHCSECTION Checking Transaxle Oil Level


Check the oil level when the engine is off, the vehicle is level, and the transaxle is cool enough so that you can rest your fingers on the transaxle case facing the radiator. With the plug removed, oil should be level with the bottom edge of check fill hole. If necessary add specified fluid or equivalent. Reinstall the check fill plug securely.
