Instructions:
- First secure the vehicle on a flat surface and apply parking brake.
- Oil checking requires a level surface so that you can get an accurate reading.
- If you are required to lift the vehicle due to low ground clearance, make certain that you secure the vehicle on all four corners on jack stands.
- Search for the transmission fill plug and take it away. In many vehicles, fill plug is positioned on the upper side. Examine the level of the oil.
- In case oil is below recommended level, add more oil to bring to the full mark. Always use the manufacturer specified transmission oil for your vehicle.
- Recap the fill plug and secure it properly. Wait for some time to see if there is any leak.
Points to Remember
- Always use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) while working with your vehicle to ensure your safety such as protective goggles, closed toe shoes, or latex gloves etc.
